Greece has never scored before the 42nd minute in a World Cup game.
Costa Rica clear... but Lazaros Christodoulopoulos blasts a shot over the bar.
Dash, I hear what you're saying, but the World Cup is about points and goals, not about what a team deserves.
I'd just like to congratulate Tom on the first big spelling of the night!
Jan, I'm well-schooled by now - it's easy!
Personally, I'll be sticking to 'The Big Number 19' and, 'the lad with the beard.'
Bryan Ruiz opens up a chance for Cristian Gamboa, who drives through and shanks a low shot well wide. Promising build-up play there.
Terrible mistake by Samaris there. Of all the people to give the ball to, he chooses Joel Campbell. Greece rather lucky to escape that
Including this match, each of Costa Rica’s last nine World Cup matches have come against a European or South American opponent.
Another scare for Greece as Joe l Campbell breaks at pace, but the forward overhits his pass and Greece win it back.
NETHERLANDS, whose spirits?
Good advantage played by the referee there, he could have given the foul, but allowed Ruiz to play on. See, we're all very balanced and mature here at ESPNFC.
Joel Campbell looks like he's fouled but the referee allows play to continue - Bryan Ruiz feeds Christian Bolaños with a nice pass, but the forward blazes over from 18 yards.
