    If Costa Rica can hang on here, Italy vs Uruguay is gonna be INSANE. CONCACAF is really showing themselves well in this Cup.

    What a freaking World Cup this has been. Amazing that England and Spain are already out, with Portugal and Italy on the ropes. Europe is getting decimated (outside of Germany and Netherlands).

    I don't see Italy losing to Uruguay. As long as Italy negates Suarez (which is a tall task I admit), they should go on. They should also pray that Diego Lugano plays.

    But fantastic game from Costa Rica. They have a great coach who did a fantastic job in his tactics against Italy.

    Nightmare. Props to that Costa Rican defense.

    Insigne, Cerci, Candreva, Cassano.. All C+ players... They strive in Serie A but Serie A isn't what it used to be... Balotelli needs a partner.

    Abate is complete garbage I don't ever understand why they ****ing call him up & De Rossi played like ****.

    You beat England 2-1 & Prandelli makes 3 ****ing changes? Motta really? You move Chellini to the middle when he was having success pushing the ball up on the left? Really?

    Casssno & Isigne actually made us even worse. Good god.

    This. I don't follow Seria A as much anymore, so this was the first time I ever saw saw Insigne (outside of highlights). My goodness, he was absolutely terrible. He lost the easiest balls and was called offside like 5 times. Couldn't even make the right pass

    I think a lot of it is teams underestimating Costa Rica. They sneak up on you.

    This was not going on in South Africa, but it was coming. It's on South American soil so I expect teams like Ecuador to do well

    Well that escalated quickly!

    Terrible keeping by the Swiss goalie on the 2nd one. Should never get beat to the near post like that.

    That was HORRENDOUS keeping on the second goal by France. However, who was the Swiss player even passing to on that??
