Costa Rica vs Netherlands live streaming free [ESPN]: Watch online FIFA World Cup 2014 soccer preview [TV info]

The Netherlands and Costa Rica will fight it out on Saturday in their World Cup 2014 quarter-final match for a place in the final four. This will be the first ever meeting between these two teams, although Holland will be big favorites to win through.

The game is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. EST and will take place at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, Brazil. The game will be broadcast on ESPN, and can be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.

Holland come into this game having won 10 of their last 11 matches at the World Cup, their only defeat coming against Spain in the final four years ago.

The Netherlands have also scored more goals than any other side in this year's tournament coming into the quarter-finals. Of their 12 goals so far, they have been scored by seven different players.

However, when it comes to knock out football, they could do better in defense, and they have not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 knock out games at the World Cup. The last time they did was way back in 1994 when they kept the Republic of Ireland goalless.

Costa Rica meanwhile are the first CONCACAF country to reach the quarter-finals since the USA in 2002.

Today's big game will start at 4 p.m. EST and can be watched by clicking here.
