No, because Costa Rica doesn't play anything close to this style in CONCACAF, and Jurgy should blast them pre-match next time we meet them.

You know the transitive property theory us CFB nerds like to use.



Well, following that, we should've known this would happen.

USA beat Italy in Italy in 2012; Costa Rica beat USA in Costa Rica in 2013.

Therefore, Costa Rica > Italy

Italy is making basic mistakes with the ball.

This has to have the most offside calls ever in one game. Costa Rica's back line is making Italy look stupid. I coached 10 year old girls team one year and had one working just as good...but that was because the other teams didn't know wtf offside was

Italy looks really bad. They didn't look all that great against England, and today they look terrible.

At what point is it more cr is good than the opposition just aren't playing well for you?

Italy-Uruguay is Tuesday, right? And England-costa rica are at the same time?

I mean, Italy doesn't look good, you are right. But part of that is because of Costa Rica

Correct.

If Costa Rica were to make it 2-0, Italy would then have to win v. Uruguay.
