CONMEBOL is much more competitive than CONCACAF.

I say that as a Costa Rican.

What the person who I quoted was referring to was not the level of competition, at least I assume he was referring to the posting who mentioned that Costa Rica is doing so well because they are playing on their turf as opposed to say Europe.

 

[Ironmask]

Cassano pls start to play

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

That yellow for Balol...telli was long over due.

 

[Horseress]

Italy ain't playing bad bro. Costa Rica's just being fucking boss.

not taking away any credit from Costa Rica, but yeah, Italy's playing really bad

 

[LNBL]

Not that this ref would know a thing about deserved yellows, but yes.

Aye, has been having some bad calls.

 

[K' Dash]

Come on Pinto let Ureña in!

 

[Acorn]

playing 4-2-4 now. desperation move. sad.

You're right, should stay with 1 up front when chasing a game....

Wat

 

[GHG]

Italy are forcing it now.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

We came all the way from Jersey, for this shit?

 

[criesofthepast]

Italy ain't playing bad bro. Costa Rica's just being fucking boss.

Respect to Costa Rica but Italy ain't doing shit out there. If this was Germany and Italy was playing this way it'd be 10-0.

 

[Foshy]

Italy seems to have more possession though, so they're actually winning

 

[mauaus]

CR really being the better side in both their matches so far

 

[UrbanRats]

playing 4-2-4 now. desperation move. sad.

Can't wait to hear the silly rationalizations and excuses, after the game.

 

[SkylineRKR]

The idea that England could still be in with a chance of qualifying, regardless of what happens in this match, is ridiculous.

They should decide ties in groups by head-to-head results, rather than just goal difference.

If Costa Rica wins this, I think either Italy or Uruguay is going through. That match will have a winner.

 

[ColossalLazy]

oh Italy thats so horrible

 

[il Diavolo]

This is fucking abysmal.

 

[CassSept]

Prandelli looks disappointed.

Heh

 

[Black Republican]

Costa Rica gonna have Uruguay and possibly Italy under their belts this world cup. Who woulda predicted this?

 

[Alebrije]

Euro Football... whats going on??/

América para los americanos

 

[mauaus]

kudos CR for not parking the bus

 

[perfectchaos007]

If Italy doesn't score 2 goals in 20 minutes, England is eliminated right?

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Italy are awful, I've given up watching. It's like they expected to win the game just by turning up.

 

[LNBL]

Campbell is a boss

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Joel pls

 

[GHG]

Italy look broken.

Suarez will tear them apart.

 

[Horseress]

If Italy doesn't score 2 goals in 20 minutes, England is eliminated right?

yep, mario not getting any from the queen

 

[perfectchaos007]

The trick to beating Costa Rica is forcing them to play in a snow storm.

 

[Tecl0n]

There is no coming back from getting ole'd.

 

[Juicy Bob]

How?

If Costa Rica wins this, either Italy or Uruguay is going through. If they draw, Italy would have a better goal ratio.

Yes, I know. I'm just saying that regardless of how this match is going at the moment, the fact there was still a possibility we could qualify after losing our first two games to begin with shows that the system is a bit broken.

 

[ashecitism]

Campbell is having a rather weak game

 

[K' Dash]

Ureña in, it's over.

 

[KingJolly]

Guatemala

I feel your pain as well ;_;

 

[ColossalLazy]

how many offsides this game has?

 

[LNBL]

This group gonna end up in :

1. Costa Rica 9
2. Uruguay 6
3. Italy 3
4. England 0

Someone pls Gif Campbell's face after the not given penalty

 

[boomerisgod]

Anybody suggesting Costa Rica is playing on home turf is wrong. Brazil is about as foreign to them as Italy. Different culture, language, continent etc.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Italy have been awful, feel sorry for Pirlo having to be surrounded by this shitshow

 

[kamorra]

Italy are awful, I've given up watching. It's like they expected to win the game just by turning up.

Yeah, no way Costa Rica actually plays a intelligent game.

 

[Kandinsky]

If Italy doesn't score 2 goals in 20 minutes, England is eliminated right?

Correct.

 

[UrbanRats]

Our offense is abysmal so far.
Did we even shoot once in this latest section of the game?

 

[megabytecr]

Ureña is a rocket!! Watch out!

 

[criesofthepast]

Chiellini loves to be a fuckup.

 

[Fireblend]

Second one incoming. Go go go!!!

 

[T-Rex.]

I can't believe this poor Italy side beat us.

Spoiler

;_; lol

 

[Draconian]

Our offense is abysmal so far.
Did we even shoot once in this latest section of the game?

Nope. Abysmal on all fronts.

 

[Alebrije]

Sorry Mario but your goal is on another stadium.

 

[mauaus]

Itally wont score this game not even if they played for 180 mins

 

[figadapaura]

Ugggghhhhhhhhhh

 

[perfectchaos007]

yep, mario not getting any from the queen

Poor Rooney. Hopefully he plays well in the defacto friendly against Costa Rica

 

[K' Dash]

Celso, wtf?

 

[Last Uchiha]

The only team Italy can beat is England :|

Where are you now pirlo?
