Thoughts on Italy vs Costa Rica

[Kros]

We are talking about Italy here.
When you hear Italy first thing that cross your mind is 1-0 win against the underdogs. They never push for more. Sure, they can win by 2, but odds don't reflect any value.

On the other hand, Costa Rica made great result against Uruguay. Evreone expected that they will be 4th in this group, but now they have chance to reach 1/8 finals. Even Italy ML doesn't represent value for me.

just heard that it will be really really hot during the italy v costa rica game, italia coach has asked for extra drink breaks but i dont think its gonna happen. italia may struggle in the heat now that im thinking bout it

This is the stadium scout report I got.

Italy v England

Estadio Amazonia, Manaus
Altitude: 72m (236ft)
Climate: Difficult.

Tropical heat with tropical storms. Highs are a toasty 30C with a 40% chance of thunderstorms in June, with humidity up to 80%. Also high humidity.

Italy v Costa Rica

Arena Pernambuco, Recife
Altitude: Sea level.
Climate: Wet.

It rains in Recife on average 224 days a year - which is nearly double Manchester's average. Temperatures tend to peak at 28C in June and July, which are Recife's two wettest months. Humidity is also usually high during these months.

Italy survived the harsher conditions in Manaus, the conditions today wouldn't be a big problem for them.

It's understandable.
If you would know anything about football than it would be valuable for you.

Italy are rubbish.


Don't be fooled by a lucky win vs misfiring England.



Their defense is slower than your grandfather's early morning bowel movements..

could have gone all day without reading that!!!!! Ewwwww

that said I think Rica +.5 is the play. I see this being a draw

England hit a lot of there shots on target actually.

another poster full of shit

If you didn't see that there was good value on Costa Rica it should be pretty obvious now, was really not that hard to see before the game. Everyone just flocks to the country with the bigger pedigree in these cases and that's where you can find value in a game that in actuality is pretty evenly matched.
