Guimaraes still undecided
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. Despite managing to qualify the country for a second straight World Cup, it was obvious that Guimaraes could not get the most out of his players, who disappointed fans with poor performances in the tournament. Nevertheless, no decision should be made in the heat of the moment, and a final word a month from now would likely be a better option for the National Federation.

Worst World Cup ever for Ticos
Well, it ended as Costa Rica’s worst ever World Cup finals appearance. With three games and three losses, the Ticos will now fight for the last positions in the table after all is said and done in the first round in Germany. They may want to root for Cote d’Ivoire on Wednesday so that the Serbs can end the tournament ... [read]
Last day
Well, so the third game of the 2006 World Cup is also the last for Costa Rica and Poland. With no hope of advancing left, the teams could provide an entertaining match in which national pride is at stake. Or a lacklustre event with no real motivation. Here’s hope that it’s the first option, and that Costa Rica can finally ... [read]
Playing for its pride
After being eliminated from the World Cup, Costa Rica has only its pride to play for when it faces Poland tomorrow in Hannover. Having never left the World Cup without a win – in its two previous participations in the World Cup finals, it always managed to get at least one win -, the Ticos say they still have some ... [read]
Not this time
So it wasn’t meant to be Costa Rica’s World Cup. With two losses in as many games, the Ticos are done. Congratulations to Ecuador for its superb play. May the South Americans go far in the tournament, something which would definitely make me happy. They proved today they can be a strong side to play against, taking advantage of the ... [read]
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 ... [read]

A more attacking approach
Coach Alexandre Guimaraes knows that if his team is to stand any chance of beating Ecuador on Thursday, it should try to control the ball for longer periods of time. During the opening match, against Germany, the Ticos were able to hold possession for only a third of the time, being heavily overplayed in this category by the hosts. Aware ... [read]
No option but to beat Ecuador
If Costa Rica wants to advance to the second stage of the World Cup, it must beat Ecuador on Thursday. There’s no way around it. No wonder the president of the National Football Federation said the game will be a war between brothers. A war he hopes Costa Rica will come out as winners, naturally. In preparation for the game, ... [read]
