Celso Borges, hang your head in shame. Of all the passes to play there...
I don't think anyone needs to wonder, Lisa. You just need to ask Uruguay, Italy or England. Amazing that Costa Rica are the only team from that group still in the World Cup. And fully justified too.
wy, I predicted 2-0 Costa Rica before the game, but didn't write off a 1-0 Greece victory. basically, whatever happens, I predicted it correctly...
Karagounis hits a speculative shot from range that is easy for Keylor Navas to hold after a bounce.
Samaras is close - no, he's offside!
The forward rises and almost meets a great cross from the right, but he was flagged offside - he needs to watch the line more carefully.
I said Costa Rica would win 2-1, though I don't why I was so confident Greece would score. Costa Rica are one of only two teams in the World Cup yet to concede a goal in open play. TWO POINTS FOR THE FIRST PERSON TO NAME THE OTHER TEAM
Another corner for Costa Rica now... time for a goal, I say.
Greece has completed 80.8% of passes, which would be the highest single-game percentage in its last five major tournaments (WC 2014/10, EURO 12/08/04)
Sorry, Tom. Gervinho broke Colombia's defences.
Sorry Jan, Uruguay had three put past them by Costa Rica.
Well done, Footybawl! *hands over two points* You're through to the Ready Money Round.
A tasty egg that will become a delicious meal, Fingerwagen.
A dinosaur egg, fingerwagen, that's going to break in the heat and release a winged monster.
YH, that was more due to the sheer heat - most of the empty seats you saw were in the sun, which were directly in view of the cameras.
YH, a lot of those empty seats were left behind by fleeing fans who started to melt into the plastic
35 minutes in, and Greece's gameplan is working out so far.
