Top 10 Costa Rica

Win could give edge to Costa Rica

A win against Ecuador, which was already necessary prior to the Germany-Poland game, now may be the only result that keeps Costa Rican hopes alive in the tournament. Even though a tie will not disqualify the Central American team, a win over Ecuador will leave both teams with 3 points and one game to play. But while Ecuador will face the heavy favoured Germans, Costa Rica will play Poland – which has already lost twice in the tournament. So, if the Ticos can somehow manage to defeat the South Americans today they will take a giant step towards making the second round. It will be a difficult game, but it is possible!
