Don't recall the media hyping England to win this one.

If it's a draw they are through as well, as both Italy and Uruguay can't go past them with playing each other

Wouldn't it be perversely funny if Costa Rica won here and fielded a second string side against England?

Costa Rica are a good side. I really don't understand why people talk about them like they are not.

One piss poor performance against Uruguay and suddenly the very good side that played Italy doesn't exist.

Perversely stupid for Costa Rica, perhaps.

I don't think he was offside then. Did Robbie not see the replay?

You would also fancy them to turn over Ivory Coast, Greece or japan in the last 16 if they win the group as well

Not really. They would be through anyway and probably fine on goal difference to top the group because I doubt that the other game would have a big scoreline.

Their B team could probably beat England (and I'm not even joking)
