2014 FIFA World Cup™ Round of 16: Costa Rica vs Greece | Sun, Jun 29, 4:00 PM

If they stay focused, costa rica. Greece's motivation might be a factor though. Costa rica 1-0.

 

Costa Rica by 1

Then again Greece is a freakin cockroach in a tournament, so they could very likely win. I won't ever underestimate them again.

 

Greece is still the underdog???im starting to like it........

 

Will Karnezis be fit for this game and start?

 

yes i think

 

I loved everything Costa Rica has done throughout the tournament. To be honest I only noticed Greece in the last minute of their last game, so I'm probably judging them based on past performances, rather than current ones.

Nevertheless, let's be realistic. This game is the last chance of glory for either one of these teams for a long time. They've already exceeded all expectations and both have a real chance of making it to the Quarter Finals. However, I believe whoever gets to the next round will be slaughtered by Netherlands or Mexico.

 

Mmmm Greece...a team that one has to be extremely careful when playing. I hope CR sits well back, let the greeks come over. Lots of caution for CR. We've been the underdog in the first three games, but now in this game is even or CR a little bit favorite. Even the bets are favoring CR.

I'd rather be the underdog.

 

Greece has always been looked down upon and they always surprise .

 

People want CR to advance becuz watching Greece play is beyond boring.

 

Didn't expect this to happen, but I like Costa Rica in this matchup. Costa Rica could be the surprise team in this tournament if they keep it up. Greece defense will be tough so it will be 1-0 win for either side but I like Costa Rica here

 

I'm rooting for Greece to troll WC 2014.. They upset everybody including myself if you can't beat them join them.

 

Well they did win euro 2004 so I give them credit but Costa Rica has been playing well.

 

After what they had to do in the group stage, Costa Rica might feel like they're on vacation.

 

Greece is pretty much the ultimate troll team.

That said, hope the Cinderella story continues and Cosa Rica makes the QFs.

I wouldn't be sad if Greece made it though instead

 

Whoever passes to the next round still has very slim chances to go to the final 4 because Netherlands will be waiting.Anyways as a Greek I will definately cheer for our team.We can win Costa Rica, they dont have any classy attackers who can break our defence and do superb chances.Whoever wins though I believe does not deserve to be in the final 8.Id but Greece to say goodbye in the final 16, and costa rica to say goodbye in the Group stage.Honor opinion:Costa Rica got underestimated by Uruguay and Italy.England totally dominated them but they were lucky to get away with an X. Lets just enjoy the match of the underdogs tonight!

 

I have a feeling that it will be a draw and the match will end at extra time or penalties

 

I know no-one cares but:

Costa Rica: Navas, Gamboa, Duarte, Gonzalez, Umana, Diaz, Ruiz, Borges, Tejeda, Bolanos, Campbell.

Subs: Pemberton, Acosta, Myrie, Barrantes, Francis, Granados, Brenes, Miller, Calvo, Urena, Cubero, Cambronero.

v

Greece: Karnezis, Torosidis, Manolas, Papastathopoulos, Holebas, Karagounis, Salpingidis, Maniatis, Christodoulopoulos, Samaris, Samaras.

Subs: Glykos, Tzavelas, Moras, Tziolis, Kone, Mitroglou, Vyntra, Gekas, Fetfatzidis, Katsouranis, Tachtsidis, Kapino.

 

1-0 Greece

 

Can see Greece getting a headed 1-0 but hoping for Cost Rica Goleado.

 

Hopefully we have a game with a team not diving. That being said I think Costa Rica has this one if Joel has a good game

and already in the first minute Greece flops LMAO

 

Fingers crossed for Joel. Not watching this game. Let me know when its over.

 

I want Costa Rica to win. Special relationship with Colombians and they have a coach as one.

 

0-0 draw

Greece wins in penalties

Netherlands crushes them (Fifa FTW!!!)

Dives through the semis.

This bracket is gonna suck now.

 

Couldn't agree more. Hope the Costa Ricans avert such a disaster.

Damn you Cote d'Ivoire and you're 90th minute mindmelt!!!
