*** Official Match Thread: Uruguay vs Costa Rica ***

[1066familyman]

Surprising country fact for me - Costa Rica has a bigger population than Uruguay.

Prediction - Uruguay win.

Let's see what we're up against.

Does this mean we can't slag off Chiles in his dedicated thread now ?

I am actually going to surprise a lot people now and going to forecast a boring 0 - 0 draw, Costa Rica will park the bus, shut up shop and get 1 point on the table

 

[AlbionRob]

Costa Rica doesn't have an army.

 

[Bladders]

Even the theme tunes annoying !

 

[ExmouthExile]

Is it my tele, or does Chiles sound like a Dalek?

They all do

South American teams are all flying at the moment.

1-1 I reckon, can't see it being a bore draw. Seems the general view is Uruguay will smash them but I'm not so sure.

4 football matches in a row, it's brilliant isn't it? It's just a shame about the 1 hour gaps in between!

I don't think Uruguay will smash them. I wouldn't write Costa Rica off as just the whipping boys for our group, but I do think Uruguay will beat them.

Well I hope Uruguay win just done £90.00 @ 4/9 for a return of £130.00

Food, kip, piss. Perfect use of the hour in-between.

That Uruguay anthem is a bit head-mental. About 2 minutes in, you sort of assume it must be an instrumental, then they all burst abruptly into song and the tempo changes crazily like crashed gears then it just randomly stops dead.

 

[Bladders]

Uruguay don't look much

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Uruguay will be a different proposition against us with Suarez back, if fit...

 

[Blackadder]

If we play to all our strengths we can definitely progress from this group imho.

I do't know those shirts leave little to the imagination.:safeway:

 

[Austrian Gull]

It's probably tempting fate but Forlan looks past his best.

Costa Rica not the worst team seen at the World Cup so far - that was probably Spain!
