Costa Rica Friendly
The first pre-cup Tico test was yesterday against something called Breitner’s Bam team, a regional selection, played in the town of Lahr in front of 6,500 locals. Unexpectedly the Costa Rica selection, with Guimaraes using almost all of the 23 players at his disposal, met stiffer that expected opposition fortunately finally winning 2-0. The first goal didn’t happent until the 70th minute, “the bullet” Ronald Gomez being the lucky scorer, and the second was in the 88th by Harold Wallace.
Paul Breitner, of 1974 German World Campion famed was not impressed by the Ticos, and stated after the game, “Germany will win by 2-3 goals easily”, when the two meat on June 9th in the opener. Sure, if you can’t beat “Bam’s” team…
Next for the Ticos are friendlies against Catalunia, another regional selection, on the 24, then Ucraine on the 28th, then mere two days later against Czech Republic.

Yeah, this game was a benefic one. The team was suppose to just strech their legs.
We will hope to see more goals next wednesday against Catalunia since the opponent has more active players.
