True, but a lot more likely had they gotten a point today.
Now they need:
-Italy Win

-GD of both games > +3 combined for Italy, or +4 depending on goals for
If they had gotten a point:
-Italy win and Costa Rica Draw or Loss
OR
-Italy win and Costa Rica win with GD of both games > +2 combined for Italy, or +3 depending on goals for
OR
-Italy draw and Costa Rica loss
It would take a pretty crazy final day to see Italy on top now, where they would have put their fate at least somewhat in their hands with a point.
