always a good article, good job peter.

I was reading your older articles, the ones from the 2002WC, matters of honor is just excellent, it almost made me cry.


" At heart Costa Rica are devotees of the jogo bonito, and against the masters they had no hesitation in opening up"

********...we could have won that game!

You sure could. And you could have beaten Turkey, too. For some reason the team just couldn't convert its chances, and Lonnis wasn't at his best in goal. But that was a wonderful team, the best and most exciting Costa Rica team I've ever seen. Under Pinto they don't seem to have the same fire. And I think they miss Wilmer Lopez most of all.

And, as always, thanks for the kind words.

Yes i agree with you , they do play a more defensive-minded type of game, which is already causing some problems for Pinto... Wilmer Lopez is recovered from his injury and is receiving some playtime now, and he said he wants to come back and play for the NT...
