So USA lost for the 7th time in a row in a Costa Rican stadium…check the stats of USA vs. CR and you will see clearly who is superior between the 2 teams. And to use more numbers, with jut 4 million inhabitants, this little “island” qualified 3rd for the 2006 cup and 1st for the 2002 cup.
And about last night, 3 – 1 (penalty…) is all I have to say.

I’m probably in the crazed minority here but I wouldn’t be that overjoyed with a point. We are better than Costa Rica any way you slice it and if we want to be a serious contender at World Cups we have to be able to beat a team like Costa Rica. Yes the environment will be hostile, but we must fight through. At the end of the match if things have not gone our way and we still get a point full credit to our boys, but some of the pre-match stuff I’ve been reading almost has us resigned to winning just a point.

But…but…but… I was going to say the same thing BMatthews said! (Once I had, y’know, googled Costa Rica to verify.)

The fact that you award him the Commenter of the Month of the Award just because he happened to be first and I happened to be second is just…just…time-ist.

Hey…I think the whole island stuff is stupid (is this a variation of a ¨crappy post¨?) but oh well…it seems to me that you need some more interseting facts on your post:

The abolition of the army was in 1948 and it was one of the best decisions in Costarican history, much of that budget (old crappy army) began to be injected to eduaction and public health, nowadays Costa Rica has the second best life expectancy in America (Canada´s first) and has the lowest illiteracy rate of the region (less than 3%).

Oh well, I hope Costa Rica wins, I´m expecting a gret match!

Thank you, BMatt. I’ve been wondering if people actually read that part of these previews, so that was my little test. And you quickly proved that, yes, one person does. This is why you were out one and only Commenter of the Month.

Costa Rica isn’t an island. I’m confused.
But go US! I can’t wait for the liveblog. USAwcb is almost as good as dirtytackle….you guys should look into that site, you could learn a lot from them.
