Costa Rican players once again stressed that their World Cup campaign was not a failure, despite the 0-3 record collected in Germany. As had been said before the tournament even began by coaching staff and players alike, the team considered the fact of qualifying to the tournament enough. According to most players, a failure would [...]

Coach Alexandre Guimaraes is still undecided in regards to whether he will remain ahead of the Costa Rican team or not, now that the World Cup is over for the squad.

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. [...]

Costa Rica left Walldorf for Hamburg on Tuesday, in anticipation for its second game in the World Cup, tomorrow, against Ecuador. After training during the morning in Walldorf, the team travelled to Hamburg and managed to train at night in the city.
