Costa Rica Rival Test

Today Germany, whom Costa Rica is to meet in the World Cup opener, will be playing against the USA in Dortmund, Germany, as one of the tune-ups before the real thing. Germany is in a bit of a panic after being downed by Italy 4-1, and the surveys showing that only 9% of the german fans expecting Germany to win. So, a big test, and there will be a real panic if the hosts can’t dispatch with the American team, who is rated, yes, it’s true, NUMBER FIVE !!! in the CocaCola’s FIFA world rankings! The Germans are rated as the 22nd in the world. Tre bizarre… Personally, I doubt that any Concacaf team belongs in the top 25, but how else can they get the American public fired up. I wonder what it would mean if the USA doesn’t make it out of its group?
