*** The Offical Match Thread: Costa Rica v Greece ***

[TomandJerry]

Come on Greece!

 

[The Modfather]

Come on Costa Rica

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Defintiely siding with Costa Rica. They've played some great football in the cup thus far. Plus, they are exceedingly cooler than the Greeks.

 

[wakeytom]

Costa Rica have looked good, hope it continues

Come on Costa Rica. Can't stand the usual defensive Greek style of play (yes, yes, I know they came out and played against Ivory Coast, eventually).

 

[Frutos]

Costa Rica for me.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I am jealous sitting here because I can imagine right now the Greeks and tourists sitting outside the bars on the Islands that I so often frequented in my youth watching it on TV.
I was there for Italia 90 on Ios, Paros, Antiparos and Mykonos.Great times.
I like the Greeks so I would like them to win tonight.

Deffo Costa Rica chez Monolulu

 

[nwgull]

These Brazilian crowds seem obsessed with Mexican waves. There's a tight and tense game of footy going on here. I can't imagine how annoyed I'd be if I was there trying to watch an England game and the neutrals were more worried about doing the bloody wave!

 

[carteater]

Come on Costa rica i bet 1 Vcash on you

 

[BensGrandad]

What a poor game very little skill shown by either side.

 

[The Wizard]

Greece are very very difficult to break down, look the more effective team though to me.

 

[The Wizard]

Boos at the half time whistle... I guess understandable in a way but slightly disrespectful.

Boos from which fans?

 

[The Modfather]

Could be in for a late night with this one.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Boos from which fans?

Brazil's.

 

[Machiavelli]

The game's dire, which is exactly what Greece wanted.
Still, it gives an opportunity to focus on Tejeda, who we've been linked with. He's extremely impressive, so impressive that he'll be going to a bigger club.

Thats the way the cookie crumbles

Greece 1-0 win written all over this. (Costa Rica 1-0 haha)

Blatter being booed on the big screen

Greece only seem capable of crosses or long balls into Mark Hately, or speculative shots from 20+yrds out.
