But remember, Costa Rica gave a spark to that first game against Germany in 2006.

You do realize though that Costa Rica had the best records against Mexico and the US out of our Federation, right?

They do well against the big teams and under pressure.

And dare I say it, Uruguay is the more boring of the two.

That, too.

Folks have short memories.

Just out of curiosity, why do so many folks want Uruguay in there? Just because they have history, or because they have better players, or because folks hate CONCACAF?

Much rather see an underdog like CR go.

And if it was Mexico vs. Bolivia, I wouldn't root for the CONCACAF team, that's for sure.

Because they have a decent team, history (the only other SA team besides Arg and Bra to have won wc). And because they missed last wc.

Costa Rica was a joke in 06 WC. Real joke.

 

[Bjerknes]

Who cares about history. If that's all that matters then just give a free pass to anyone who has won the cup before.

Actually, this is another thing that pisses me off about Euro fans.

You are both right about those instances and that was why I included the word "probably" in my post, in fact it was the keyword.

I wasn't arguing performance-wise. However, Kyle said that Uruguay would provide more entertainment during matches, so I provided a counterpoint to entice further discussion.

OK, but that was not an easy group, considering it was played in Europe. Poland should have went through with Germany, but Ecuador was a damn good team.

How has Uruguay faired in their last World Cups?

Ouch.

But hey, they have the history, right? History of sucking dick recently.

Costa Rica fanboy?

Personally I don't think history has anything to with it, looking at both teams current squads I stand by my earlier post of "probably" being more entertaining

 

[Bjerknes]

Costa Rica fanboy?

Sure.

Costa Rica fanboy?

Doubtful if he actually likes the States

 

[Max]

Kyle, you start too many fights.

 

[X Æ A-12]

:depressed

 

[Max]

I'm sorry, Kyle. We can still be friends, I guess.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Haha, no worries man

 

[Max]

Yeah, I wasn't serious.

About the fights or being friends?
