Italy's #9 plays like a #####.

 

[NewlyRetired]

That looked like a pk.

 

[Jayrod]

That's the 2nd header by CR that just sailed over the bar.

 

[ffldrew]

WTF?

Who is the clown in the middle?

 

[Bonzai]

Whoa...

 

[TenTimes]

good call on the non-foul in the box. script writers realize they need to keep the upsets at bay rather than dominating the tournament

 

[TheIronSheik]

That was a bad no call, right?

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Yeah, that seems like it would have been a PK in a lot of the other games.

 

[Jayrod]

Wow on no call there. Looked like he got run over in the box.

He may have been trying to draw it, but it looks like he actually did.

 

[QuizGuy66]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

TICOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[GroveDiesel]

That should have been a PK but Costa Rica comes back and scores anyway!

 

[NewlyRetired]

Goal cam!

 

[ffldrew]

Looks like justice is prevaling - unless it is overturned

 

[Sinn Fein]

damn..my stream is slow...

 

[Jayrod]

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!!

 

[TenTimes]

CR says F-U to the WC writers

 

[NewlyRetired]

Oof for England.

TICOS!1111111111111

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

damn..my stream is slow...

Yeah, me too. I saw the goal like 30 seconds after it was posted in here.

 

[Jayrod]

Clearly in. That's what happens when you keep it under the bar!

 

[MattFancy]

damn..my stream is slow...

Same here. Was reading about how CR scored and was like what are you people talking about

 

[NewlyRetired]

Awful non call on the pk.

 

[GroveDiesel]

What a fantastic cross and run.

CR really dominating Italy for the most part. Way more good chances by CR than Italy.

 

[B Maverick]

Wow Costa Rice!

And I dont think it was a PK, but nice header GOAL!!!!!

 

[[icon]]

Italy bet holders ITT not pleased

 

[QuizGuy66]

damn..my stream is slow...

Yeah, me too. I saw the goal like 30 seconds after it was posted in here.

I have a TV on in the office.

Sorry for the spoiler (though at least you didn't turn away for it)

Agree.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Awesome...to go right back down and score after getting screwed like that.

 

[TenTimes]

is there still any chance of England and Italy both failing to qualify?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Clear PK.

 

[Jayrod]

Italy with one chance to equalize.....

 

[The Gator]

Italy needs more Verratti

 

[Sammy3469]

is there still any chance of England and Italy both failing to qualify?

Yes...If this result holds, Italy would need to beat or tie Uruguay to qualify.

 

[NewlyRetired]

is there still any chance of England and Italy both failing to qualify?

Yes.

If Italy lose or draw today, Uruguay goes through by beating them.

 

[jonessed]

is there still any chance of England and Italy both failing to qualify?

Yes.

 

[QuizGuy66]

is there still any chance of England and Italy both failing to qualify?

Certainly. If Rich Coast wins today England will be out. If Uruguay turns around and beats Italy than the Azzuri will be out as well.

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Penalty way more often than not.

 

[TheIronSheik]

damn..my stream is slow...

Try Flomax.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

CONCACAF!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

is there still any chance of England and Italy both failing to qualify?

Absolutely.

 

[Jayrod]

Italy with one chance to equalize.....

And that epitomizes their entire half.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

44' RUIZ SCORES: COSTA RICA 1 - ITALY 0

 

[Sammy3469]

is there still any chance of England and Italy both failing to qualify?

Yes.

If Italy lose or draw today, Uruguay goes through by beating them.

If Italy lets in another goal without scoring, then that flips and they'd have to beat Uruguay.

 

[Ignoramus]

is there still any chance of England and Italy both failing to qualify?

For sure.

 

[B Maverick]

need the gif so we can see if it was a pk or not...

 

[culdeus]

Concaf ftw

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Really had a feeling Costa Rica was for real. They looked so good v Uruguay. Doing it again today.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Just a reminder...posted this after the first round of group games was over...

Comparing 538's chances of getting out of the group with the oddsmakers current odds of advancing...538 listed first:

Chile (78% vs 55% -- at the expense of Spain)

Costa Rica (72% vs 38% -- at the expense of England)

USA (69% vs 45% -- at the expense of Portugal)

 

[Sinn Fein]

Holy Frank Lampard?
