Well sometimes you get overwhelmed by a great performance. It's not like we haven't received hiding and we usually have a super expensive team. People love mocking these weaker teams but it's not easy for them

Mate they didn't even give it a try. Not 1 shot in 90 minutes, barely any possession.

I get its hard but if you've made it to the world cup final SURELY you should be at least semi competitive.

This looks like a PL v 3rd division side, if not worse.

Not gonna lie, I kind of got tired of the Spanish style over the years, but they have been absolutely masterful today, especially considering some of the tumescent football you see at the international level. Their technical quality is top shelf, along with their ability to accelerate once the goal move is on.

Will be interesting to see how it works against Germany.

But agree this is a much more entertaining team than say 2010.

I really dont understand how teams go through qualifying, then turn up like this?

Worst team from the ones that qualified from CONCACAF, then lucky enough to play New-Zealand who were better in that game anyway.

Until yesterday the vibe was we would start like this, but Alonso has to be wondering whether it's too reliant on experience. I'd personally bring on Suárez in the second half against tired legs, not early to see him tire quicker than everyone else.

That's what I thought Germany would do with Muller. I think what you suggest is definitely a better tactic for your lot this tournament too.
 
Christ. Words can't describe that Costa Rica peformance. By far the worst team so far. Horror show. They should pack their bags and go home right after.
 
Still love this ET stuff, regardless of these situations. At some point it'll cost a time wasting team hopefully, which is what we truly want, but they've got to be truly consistent with it to get there. But it's likely gonna be England... due to the karma the 3 keepers have built for it. :lol:

Can't beat these emptyhad stadiums either.
 
Wonder how much stoppage time would have been played in that Sociedad game under these conditions, 25 mins? Best thing about this tournament so far.
 
Are Costa Rica making a protest of some kind? They’ll be seeking political asylum too at this rate
