Wow! Costa Rica takes the lead, right after a situation that could have been a penalty (and if it was a red card). This Costa Rican team is performing way better than expected.

This Costa Rica team is the most pleasant surprise since South Korea in 2002. Fun to watch, out of nowhere.

 

No matter how their run ends, they've done their part to liven this one up.

Bryan Ruiz has been great.  His performance thus far makes you wonder how truly fucked up Fulham's management situation was this past season.  They weren't able to get any form out of him whatsoever, and he looked like a shell of the player he was with Twente that prompted Fulham to splash out over 10 million on him in the first place.  Then he goes on loan back to Holland with PSV, and he's scoring and creating chances once more.

So, Mario doesn't get to kiss the Queen?

 

And fuck that, it should be 2-0 now.

CONCACAF REPRESENT!!!!

 

England officially eliminated.  

 

BEST. WORLD. CUP. EVER!!!!

Incredible, how many of the "big" teams have trouble after a very good start. Holland barely beating Australia, Brazil 0-0 against Mexico, Italy losing to Costa Rica. Suddenly starting with a 4-0 doesn´t sound that great (superstitious pessimism mode).

There's now a very legitimate possibility that Spain, England, Italy, and Portugal could all be out in the group stage. Of course two of those are still alive, but to be honest I don't like Portugal's chances that much. And as for Italy/Uruguay, that's obviously going to be a really competitive game.

I think most England fans of my generation have never had fun, from what they tell me (and I say this as a Wales fan, which is far, far more depressing)

Wow! Yesterday had the fun Colombia-Ivory Coast match, the awesome dramatic England-Uruguay match and now this Costa Rica-Italy match! What a World Cup this has been so far! A CONCACAF side beating both Uruguay and Italy, former World Champions and the current Copa Americas and Euros runner ups, at the World Cup.. That is something else! Spain and England both gone, Italy and Portugal on the edge of the knife.. Anything can happen in this World Cup.

Well, it´s not that England has been pummeled and been thrown into the pool, they lost two competitive games, which equals being eliminated after two games. I think Costa Rica, so far, has been the real sensation of the tournament. I heard quite a few say they expected Chile to do well, still them beating Spain the way they did was amazing and a surprise. Costa Rica making it to the round of the last sixteen, possibly even winning the group, that is something else, though.

At this point, Hodgson should just go all out, and pick a fresh young team for Tuesday. Bin off Gerrard, Johnson and Baines, all of whom have been poor this World Cup, pick the players who will be in the next tournament like Wilshere, Smalling and Shaw to give them some big game experience and plan for the future.
