Uruguay are kind of shit, but Costa Rica aren't bad.
I'm more familiar with them than most on here I would assume, because they're a Concacaf team, and this doesn't really surprise me. They were better than Mexico during qualifying.
Campbell is a fucking cunt, but he's good. And Ruiz plays better for Costa Rica than he ever did for Fulham. That and they're pretty solid defensively.
Seems like ya spot onQuote:

Absolutely brilliant Spain- Holland match last night, however I couldn't enjoy because I had Sergio Ramos in my fantasy team and lost a load of points! Watching the Costa Rica - Uruguay game now its quite a shock to say the least, I just hope England can take advantage. :cool:
This WC has had some seriously sketchy goalkeeping.
huh uruguay had plenty of chances just couldnt capitalize on em where as costa rica seems rather efficient
Uruguay's midfield is utterly shit. Having Suarez would help, but it wouldn't change that.Quote:

England should get out of this group, considering how completely and utterly average Uruguay are.
But I wouldn't count out Costa Rica at all. They're set up to be difficult to beat - defensive setup and good on the counter with a quick lone striker. And now they already have 3 points.
Champions of Concacaf (obviously the most difficult region) should get an automatic pass through the group stage in my opinion.Quote:

I'd say group of mild illness was more apt.
Group D is tougher.
Disagree just cause I think Uruguay is very overrated. Their midfield is awful. They barely qualified (tough region obviously, poor man's Concacaf)
Germany and Italy are a bit of a wash
Right now I would say Portugal > England (that could change depending on Ronaldo's health and how England look)
Ghana > Uruguay
US > Costa Rica
The two candidates for group of death IMO are our group and the Spain, Chile, Netherlands, Australia group. I would have Group D in third.
Although, I wasn't impressed at all with either Chile or Australia, really.
It wouldn't surprise me if Uruguay finished with 0 points. I think England are better even with a healthy Suarez.

Worth noting that this is probably the first time ever England have been ranked 3rd in FIFA rankings in their group.
