FIFA World Cup group stages

Costa Ricas 2nd is offside.

Uruguay let in 25 goals in qualifying! No team that has Diego Lugano as a starting centre back deserves to get out the group.

Very average side without Suarez.

[dan08]

Suarez not coming on so clearly not fit.

How Forlan gets in the team baffles me.

How Forlan gets in the team baffles me.

No other options. Their 4th striker Abel Hernandez plays in the Italian 2nd division.

Townsend talking of running the clock down with 10 minutes left?

3-1

Nice pass and finish.

Lovely finish. Bettered only by RVP's header yesterday.

Gaston Ramirez on the bench for Uruguay, so thats my interest seriously dented.

But Arsenal's Joel Campbell plays...one of the black Costa Ricans descended from Jamaica immigrant railway workers a century ago. That's my interest enhanced....

Campbell scores the equaliser!

Be very interesting if Wenger decides to use him next season.

At the very least, he's miles better than Sanogo.

What a pass by Campbell!

3-1....

[SaintPowelly]

I'm more shocked at this than I was at this time yesterday

[st_brendy]

Temperatures this evening not expected to reach the 32 degrees 'cap', so there'll be no mandatory drinks breaks in each half.

[SaintPowelly]

This is what happens when you leave your best player on the bench, and they left Suarez on the bench with him.

[dan08]

Don't think this is a massive shock. Uruguay have a terrible defence and without Suarez, it was never going to be easy. You would still expect them to win but Costa Rica are no mugs. Got one of the best goalkeepers in the world for a start.

[Gingerfinch]

Has to go.

[SaintPowelly]

Shame about the red, would of been better for England with him on the pitch.

Pretty poor from Campbell acting like he was shot, when it was straight on the shinpad.
