Football, eh? Costa Rica's smash and grab put the only brigade in their place as we drool over Spain ahead of their clash with Germany.
Costa Rica miracle puts Spain brilliance in perspective to curb CONCACAF criticismCosta Rica’s smash and grab against Japan has us drooling over Spain ahead of their clash against Germany and dampened criticism over CONCACAF allocation at the World Cup.
Costa Rica also beat Canada in that qualification campaign and any defeats to their fellow CONCACAF nations in Qatar were never by more than a single goal. All evidence ahead of the World Cup suggested the four sides were very evenly matched.
“Football, eh?” was John Hartson’s response to the goal, after he had watched an admittedly leggy display from Japan, but one in which they looked like the only side with any hope of claiming victory. Japan could have drawn level after a couple of late moments of pinball, but couldn’t make it count as they did againt Germany, in a game which had clearly sapped a huge amount of their energy.
