cyderspaceman Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Costa Rica to win against England. 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Mojo Risin' Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 This game means very little to Costa Rica now. Italy have a goal difference of 0 and Uruguay -1, while Costa Rica are sitting on three and have the head-to-head advantage over both sides. So the question is, will Costa Rica play a full-strength side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Costa Rica 2nd string team to beat England. How fucking funny would that be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The first international tournament I remember is Euro 88, which is the last time England lost all three games. They famously lost to the Republic of Ireland narrowly and were then smashed up by the Netherlands (Van Basten hat-trick) and the USSR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Costa Rica 2nd string team to beat England. How fucking funny would that be. They're still WC squad players, and every one of them will be playing for a place in the next game. England, on the other hand, just want the whole thing over and done with. Costa Rica win.

SpoonTon Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 If I was English I'd like to see some of the younger players given a chance in this one: Hart Johnson Shaw Jones Cahill Wilshire Henderson Lallana Barkley Oxlade-Chamberlain Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonTon Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 You just put Lallana in because you felt a bit sorry for him, didn't you? England are genuinely short of attacking midfield players, I think the inclusion of the likes of Lallana, Johnson and Henderson shows England's lack of depth/quality in different positions. Hodgson can try to force 4 forwards into the attacking midfield/forward positions all he wants, but it'll never bring balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 England to play all their young/fringe players, beat a not too bothered Cost Rica and the media go ballistic about this being the future and England will win the World Cup in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 media go ballistic about this being the future and England will win the World Cup in 2018. Don't be fucking ridiculous!!!! They're winning it in 2022 not 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 France got papped out in the first round in South Africa and are looking good here. So there's no reason England can't do well in 2018. They need to bin the old shite and guys like Lallana though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyBear Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 England team Foster Jones, Smalling, Cahill, Shaw Milner, Lampard, Wilshere, Barkley Lallana, Sturridge. Wouldbhe surprised if that defence doesnt throw in a few goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footyresults Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I believe England have actually played way better in this tournament than previous ones however haven't got the results. I'd probably put the results down to a more inexperienced defence when compared to previous campaigns. My prediction is a draw or England to just edge it. Costa Rica 1 - 1 (or 2) England Either way I can't really see the 'miracle' happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 England team Foster Jones, Smalling, Cahill, Shaw Milner, Lampard, Wilshere, Barkley Lallana, Sturridge. Wouldbhe surprised if that defence doesnt throw in a few goals. Probably be more of a 4-3-3, which with the benefit of hindsight is probably how we should have started the tournament. Ah well.
