Some of you need to chill out with the personal attacks.
Not really impressed with Costa Rica. If you watched the Italy game, it felt like a 0-0 match the entire way. Balotelli goofed up on 2 GOOD scoring chances were Italy should of came away with points. Also Balotelli checked himself out in the 2nd half essentially making it a 10 man Italy side....
So no, I am not impressed with Costa Rica. They didn't play well against an Italy team that played horrendous.
England hearts all aflutter about now...
hahahah, you are either biased or just dont have a clue
this is COSTA RICA...it doesnt matter if they are impressive...what they have accomplished already is FAAAAAAR beyond what anyone expected...its an incredible story

I wouldn't say Honduras is well. They are alive because they've only played one game. They got spanked 3-0 in against France. We'll have to wait to see how they look against Ecuador in their second game.
fair point, that.
but they have also played a tremendous looking french side(wow i hate typing that) already with lesser teams left to possibly qualify(admittedly a long shot but anyone who had costa rica through could have gotten rich).
still anyone not applauding what concacaf has done is insane.
wins over ghana, cameroon, italy, uruguay
tie w brazil
only loss for entire region is to france
11 offsides on good scoring chances is Italy beating itself more than anything.
Costa Rica played with alot of heart and had one very good shot on goal before half. Offensively they were not very good in the match, nor was Italy.
Costa Rica kool aid is getting passed around pretty fast.
No Euro teams have impressed me so far in the Cup, with the exception of Netherlands and France. Maybe humidity comes into play, who knows.
Italy and England losing is like Christmas in June for many.
Italy just needs to tie the next game to advance so look for them to play for a 0-0 tie.
I agree the teams from CONCACAF are showing well except for Honduras up to this point.
I'm not considering the win over Ghana considering you were dogging them for weeks leading up to the World Cup. Just kidding. I have respect for that team. It was a great win for the U.S.
The only consideration I will give to UEFA teams is that they are the only teams that have to play other teams from their own region. Mostly though, they have just played poorly.
