(picture later)

This game was on, but I only glanced at it now and again. I'm still not impressed with the Brazilians; this was a VERY easy group. They look stupid in white shorts too. When at 2-3, the Costa Ricans had a good chance of qualifying, but they seemingly gave up after Brazil scored goals numbers 4 and 5 in quick succession. That no Costa Rican players were booked shows a lack of ambition, don't you think?
