Win could give edge to Costa Rica

June 15th, 2006 | By: Bruno | 9 Comments »

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!

There´s no chance of winning if you don´t attack, and Costa Rica never even tried that, it was always the same. The only moment things change were the last 5 minutes against Ecuador, too late…

Even from the start, when the players were chosen to go to Germany there was no intention on being offensive, so we paid for that.

The party is over, indeed

Sorry to all of you Costa Rican bloggers for the SUCKY comments from some of my Ecuadorians blogges. Your team tried hard and there’ll be a nex time, and you guys will have the opportunity to show what you can do. This time it was Ecuador’s time, and that’s it!! Best of luck.

CR did a great job! The team should be proud for qualifying for the WC as it’s a difficuly process. That is quite an achievement. You all will do great next WC. Don’t be disheartened by those rude comments.
