Costa Rica vs Greece 9pm / Sun 29th

Son Of A Vidic

Christ Jesus, Greece is just like that ex-girlfriend that won't take the hint and go away.

AllGunsBlazing

They'll do well to hang on for penalties.

Muahahaha

Greece on top now, here's hoping that extra time doesn't turn into a bore

His helmet was stifling.


It narrowed his vision,
and he must see far.


His shield was heavy.
It threw him off balance...


... and his target is far away.


The old ones say we Greeks
are descended from Hercules himself.


Bold Papastathopoulos gives testament
to our bloodline.

His roar is long and loud.

GLaDOS

I say we skip straight to penos

RobertKK

The sub goalkeeper for Costa Rica praying he will not have to be used...

Enjoying this game tbh

LightningBlue

How is Karagounis not on a yellow. He's took Campbell out twice now.

TheTownie

Would be nice if a greek player was sent off to make this a fair fight in extra time.

Billy86

On the goal, Ray houghton: "well I'll tell you what he did wrong! Oh and the shot that went in, it wasn't that good and here is why!"

Never really noticed just how much joy he takes in negative criticism.

SlickRic

how is that not a booking?

CountyHurler

Karagounis should have got his second yellow there...

Al_Coholic

anyone see the costa rican coach trying to take down the greek player in the lead up to the goal,thats why the subs ran up to him after the goal

Headshot

where was the added time for the injury to the keeper?

vidor

And yet again the ref fails to add on the extra time for the goal and the keeper staying down. Happening a lot in this tournament.

JONJO THE MISER

Come on costa make it to pens.

Going all in with Costa Rica.

€10 on them to win in 90 minutes. 13/8. Not great odds but fúck it. Free bet so why not?

Also €2.50 on a Costa Rica 2-0 win @ 9/1

Here's hoping I say goodbye to moderately priced Ribena's and move on to the premium lager shelf.

Greece. Ruiners of everything ever!!

Bacchus

Balls to that, another 30 minutes dragging out Costa Rica's exit from the World Cup. Can't see how they are going to find a winner so they'll be holding on for penos. I don't think they'll make it.

Billy86

Has there ever been a more definitive "bad guys" group of players than Greece of the last 10 years or so?

pickarooney

Lazaros back from the dead again. Brilliant second half. I was willing Costa Rica to win it yet was actually happy they got their just desserts for time wasting and refusing to attack with ten men.

Betting on games containing Greece is a painful experience I've learned over the past decade, and yet I continue to do it :pac:

Costa rica players look shattered on the sidelines

Welcome to the club. All I can notice is the verbal misery that spouts out of his mouth.

Don't hate them but a lot of people would rather see Costa Rica go through.

Thank fúck they don't have a hurling team.

Why are people so hard on Greece whilst Costa Rica have had a red card, scored a lucky goal and hardly attacked since scoring?

Greece remind me of Ireland's fighting spirit under Jack Charlton.

Nuri Sahin

Hipsters like to be different I thought..

And he drags out a simple point. Sometimes it's a little thing, but he doesn't stop talking and talking......
I reckon George Hamilton hates him :pac:

I would have loved to have heard Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh commentating on Soccer. The man was an artist and a poet.

BOHSBOHS

well joint best for costa rica ( last 16 in 1990)

eagle eye

Really feel for Costa Rica, they did so well up to the sending off. Bad officiating has them in this situation. The first yellow card for Duarte should not have been a yellow imo and the missed handball which would have been a penalty and likely 2-0 lead is the other crucial decision in this game.

I just hope somehow that fairness prevails and they get through.

urabell

Now, here on this rugged patch of earth
called Recife...


...Pinto's hordes face obliteration!


Just there the barbarians huddle...


...sheer terror gripping tight their hearts...


...with icy fingers...


...knowing full well
what merciless horrors they suffered...


...at the swords and spears of men 1-0 down


Yet they stare now across the plain
at 11 Greeks...

We outnumber them now, 11 to 10

Good odds for any Greek.


This day, we rescue a world
from mysticism and tyranny...


...and usher in a future
brighter than anything we can imagine.


Give thanks, men...


...to Samaras and the brave 11.


To victory!
