CR is not a favorite, you are right.
The thing is that they played different, way more offensive than expected.
Ecuador, by winning 2 - 0 v Polland is the clear favorite after Germany.

Don't wish to be overly critical towards a dwarf team, but CR was a total mess. They could hardly keep the ball in the team. Sure, scoreline looks respectable, but don't forget that both goals were gifts (Germany experimenting with the offside trap; at which they totally sucked). Second goal was far more offside than the Polish goal that was disallowed in the second game...
I really don't understand the math that gives CR a good shot at the 2nd round. The two teams in the driver's seat are Germany and Ecuador.Leave a comment:

Costa Rica played an excellent game, I cant forget the face of their goalkeeper when Costa Rica scored the second goal. Costa Rica has very good chances to continue to the second round. Go Costa Rica!!!!Leave a comment:

Good for Wanchope! A terrible mistake from the german defense.
Let's see what happens during the second half...
Costa Rica is playing exceptionally.Leave a comment:

I'll post my guesses on WC2006.
If I do well after the first row of games, then I'll keep on doing so, if not, I'll refrain and feel like a complete loser, haha.
My guess for tomorrow, I may be wrong, but anyways it's a guess.
Germany 4 - Costa Rica 0 (Klose 2, Podolslki 1, Schweinsteiger 1)
Poland 2 - Ecuador 1 (Maciej Zurawski 2 - Edison Mendez 1)
It's just a guess don't take my word on it.Leave a comment:

He didn't play friendly games, he wasn't "phisically prepared".
That's known as to be scared in sports.
Besides, it's Germany! Ballack, Klose, Asamoah, Jens Lehmann, etc. who thinks CR has a chance?!Leave a comment:

Did he admit that he was scared?Originally posted by Baphomet
If so that isn't a good sign!Leave a comment:

Costa Rica has just lost a match against a 3rd class team...
CR is my team as well, but I'm realistic.
Those balls mean nothing if they don't become goals.
CR has not scored once in 3 friendly matches.
3 played, 3 lost, 7 goals against, 0 scored.
One of these matches was against Catalunya, not even a national team.
And Porras (main goalkeeper) is scared to play the first match against Germany.Leave a comment:

100% sure??????

hey guys, it is my team the one you are talking about.
This is going to be a great world cup, and all the "Ticos" expect our team to do the best this time.
We might not have all our players playing in Europe's Teams, but we do have balls....Leave a comment:

None of them 4 goals by Schevchenko, he is injured right now.
Seriously can anyone name a Costa Rica player known in Europe, other than old flop Wanchope?Leave a comment:
