That's what they want us to think...

Greece is the black metal of football.

Pinto needs to come up with some tactical voodoo and give them some kind of attacking presence cos i feel sure if it goes to pens Greece will win it

There's surely no way Costa Rica hold on for another half-hour, though? With Campbell stuck out on his own, Ruiz being Ruiz and Randall Brenes doing whatever he brings to the table (as yet literally no idea what that is), what will they do with possession even if they manage to get any?

Slaying Italy and Uruguay and effortlessly slapping away England only to lose to this, idk

begging three questions here

Costa Rica have a mass team huddle and Ruiz isn't in it.

i fear you're right WBS but they've gots to roll the dice now

Incidentally, how many Greeks are on yellows at the moment? I'm having trouble finding out...

impressive nostril hair

xpost

3 Costa Ricans on yellow in addition to the one already sent off.

that was closer than I thought but yeaaaaaaaaa offsides

there ain't no way Costa Rica is gonna be able to hold off Greece for 30 mins

greece more likely to score by bizarre twist of fate than any kind of well-executed plan though

Only four minutes in and this is already looking nightmarish. Costa Rica can play it long all they want, but none of their players can hold it, so the pressure's just right back on.

One bright spot is that Christodoulopoulos has been a disaster this evening.

yeah after that lolcross that's p evident

how the fuck wa sthat not a foul

Greece have done a good job playing against ten which isn't always the case for teams. But yeah CR have no out ball atm.

Campbell's entire game plan now is to try to draw a free kick, but the referee is totally uninterested. Doors keep shutting...

daaaaaaaaaamn nice defending

Bright spot number 2: if Joel Campbell can actually get on the ball, he can come up with a through ball like the one he laid on for Brenes there, even if he's basically out on his feet right now.

Mexico can't be feeling any better right now

Ochoa would've kept the Greek goal out too.

How so IK?

nasty imo

ohhhh fuck

Ya nasty

Greece continuing w/ the dumb shit

wow at that dribbling

That was great

Five against two counter!

lol go home Greece

Got to score that

lol at that break

hate u greece

I swear Christodoulopoulos was good against Ivory Coast.

i mean at least when Costa Rica fail at their goal Ican tell what they're at least trying to do

Need Greece to lose in pks for maximum lols

I hope they don't, but both of these should definitely be settling for penalties right now

love proper extra time when everyone's too shattered to do anything but walk half the time

so much space, players hallucinating

How much pomade does #20 have in his hair

Otm xp

There's something about Cholevas that just screams "underwhelming spell at West Ham".

Hope commentators finally retire the phrase "at this level" after this WC. As in "you get punished for mistakes at this level", "you don't get away with that at this level" etc etc. At this level is often shit be it World Cups or Champions Leagues.

lol

be amazed if he scores a pen

Lol Mitroglou. If that is anything to go by for the penalties this will be a riot.
