No surprises, but through this game and the previous game earlier (Colombia / Greece) the embellishment and over-dramatics of player contact sure is annoying. Some of these players falling down so easily sure solidify those soccer stereotypes.

Atleast in rugby, another sport with no equipment and where people hit each other constantly and harder, there's way less complaining and way less 'injuries'.

Two teams that would both like to counter-attack. And Uruguay is really missing Suarez for some more creativity up front.

Make that 2-1 for Costa Rica.

This could turn out to be a pretty big upset.

Id rather see Lallana then Welbeck just for the extra work he does in the middle of the park, but Welbeck has generally played well for England and adds a lot of extra speed down the left side. I'm glad Sterling gets the start, hopefully he can continue the great run of form he had in the latter half of the season for Liverpool.
