Wasn't  CR the best team points wise in the 2nd half of WCQ? Not much offense but they were solid defensively. We only won 1-0 at home.  Looks like their age is showing v Spain

They’re very tough at home and are able to grind out 1-0 wins. Plus they got pretty lucky against us.

I’m shocked that CR are this bad. They really felt like the only team in concacaf that might’ve been better than us, especially towards the end of the octo. 

I re-watched a good chunk of Canada at Costa Rica the other day. Canada dominated most of the match while a man down. We didn't score due to a combination of bad luck and poor finishing. 

They can play compact and organized, but once they go down and have to open up to try to score, they don't have a lot going for them.

Was half-watching while doing a Zoom class....

Total domination but a very poor performance from Costa Rica. You'd expect them to at least prepare for the rival, but I see no evidence they did: you don't line up a 5-man back line vs. a team with no centre forward and known for its midfield play and wingers playing on the wrong foot.

Gavi, not even 18 and a half, youngest player ever for Spain in a WC....until Badle came on 2nd half, he's even younger. Gavi is a funny player because despite being a kid, he kicks the hell out of rivals and gets into constant spats. Like just a while ago with Waston, he doesn't back down. Helluva character for someone his age who is really a dynamic mid (and beautiful goal he took).

Next fixture Germany-Spain is going to be excellent.

Just scored the sixth....Carles Soler.

Vamos la Celeste y el Pepe Mújica!!! If there is a team I wanna see doing well is Uruguayo our cousin.  Of course Canadá and Wales toó because they fought hard to be here.  W.C football taught a lesson to the canucks,  it is a ruthless merciless old game.  1st half Canada was almost perfection but the goal from Batshuani.
