    The US game is on MSNBC at 5am ET on Thursday morning. Italy-Honduras will be on Telemundo at the same time here in the states. MSNBC's broadcast will be in English, Telemundo's in Espanol.

    Liverpool gets hit the hardest as they lose two bona fide starters in Babel and Masch... But also lose Lucas who could have replaced Masch in the midfield.

    Man City losing Jo is unfortunate as well. He has missed valuable time building partnerships with his squad while being out on Olympic duty.
