Costa Rica v. Italy

[ckhokie]

Group D
Both teams 1-0-0

Italy's 1-0 loss in 2012 to the US was their only ever loss to a CONCACAF team.

Costa Rica up 1-0, and looking very evenly matched so far.

 

[ckhokie]

A Costa Rica win would move them into the knockout stage, knockout England, and move CONCACAF to 4-1-1 so far.

Times changing??

 

[ckhokie]

Costa Rica 2-0-0 with wins over Uruguay and Italy.

Uneffingreal.

Crazy! Awesome win for Costa Rica. Who would have thought they would not only advance from group, but be first to advance from group


Uruguay vs Italy in next match to decide who else advances.

 

[SLY]

Go Uruguay!

 

[CalamityX11]

Go Uruguay!!! Uruguay needs the win and Italy cans settle for a draw to advance if i'm thinking it correctly...

tough game... but going to be effing exciting with so much at stake!

 

[olympicoscar]

Don't think anyone predicted this. Quite a moment for Costa Rica.

 

[lakersrule]

England is done

What's gotten into Costa Rica? Usually they can only win on their concrete, pothole ridden field.

 

[CalamityX11]

I think most case scenario is that Costa Rica wins the group and faces the C2... which might by Ivory Coast. They could win that one....

Great news. Now give us back our 4th spot!

 

[bksballer89]

How the hell did Italy have 11 off sides today? And 18 on the tournament?

Bolotelli probably had 5 on his own

 

[bksballer89]

Honduras really ruins it for us.

Yeah, but Mexico had to play in a playoff against New Zealand. Technically, CONCACAF only has 3 1/2 spots in the finals.
