Costa Rica v Serbia - Match Thread

[ealingfox]

Long wait til the next game.

 

Costa Rica are a decent unit and the Serbs look pretty good on paper.

 

Predictions?

[foxes_rule1978]

3-0 Serbia ?? 

[MC Prussian]

A draw would suit me and our boys the best.

[Suzie the Fox]

Serbia 2-0 hopefully

[ScouseFox]

had no idea serbia were in it until about a week ago but they’re basically my second team now. mitros on fire.

Serbia should win. Costa Rica are nothing special, all South American teams did well last time out due to the increased support pushing them on.

They're not a footballing heavyweight, but underestimate these at your own peril:

 

Costa Rica 0 - 0 England

That was an entertaining goalless draw, if I ever saw one.

Costa Rica are Central America which is part of the North American Continent.

Serbia are actually quite good and also quite mental so I quite like them. No nancyboys in that squad 

[Amin]

Costa Rica haven't looked very good in their friendlies, expecting Serbia to win.

[StanSP]

Costa Rica shouldn't be underestimated because they do usually defend well. One of those that are solidly organised. If Serbia get the first goal though I'd expect them to go on to win. Once you break Costa Rica down they'll be forced to attack more & be less defensive. Serbia should have the quality to get by them.

Aluko talks so much shit, why the hell is she on a serious WC panel? Like a female Garth Crooks.

 

On the match, Serbia the better team but Costa Rica really do seem to raise their game in big matches. 

[kingfox]

Serbia have a decent side, looking forward to seeing what Milinkovic-Savic can do. As Costa Rica don't have Paulo Wanchope anymore I can't see them winning.

Aluko is the primark version of Alex Scott.

Same for me. If someone had asked me about him I'd have said he's a fantastic player. My only knowledge of him though is from using him in Fifa Ultimate Team 

[StanSP]

good start to this game. nice flow to it.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Hoping Serbia win this 

 

@Father Tedstill on here at all?

[Jaspa]

Lovely looking stadium, shame its got the 2 meter high divider going all the way around like all the other new build World Cup stadiums

[Kitchandro]

Started pretty well with high tempo but as is typical when the early chances aren’t taken it’s descended into a lot of backwards  and sideways passing.

[StanSP]

Good effort there from Serbia. Linesman flagged incorrectly though.

[foxile5]

Not the best of games

She's no worse than countless others on the telly tbf. 

 

I don't particularly like her and she's there for blatant tokenism but right now Evra is chatting complete and total waffle while Aluko just made a couple of good points about the game. 

 

I mean for a start, she's the only one of these three that thinks Serbia is the better side so far which they quire obviously have been by a distance.

What a terrible game. Really the quality of this tournament so far is really poor except for one match.

[Riyad_Suarez]

Only just turned it on and I already can't stomach any more of Patrice Evra. So cringeworthy just because Henrik Larsson doesn't agree with Aluko.

 

Get a grip lad.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Aluko ruined both Larsson and Evra there, hope Evra ****s off sharpish he's awful
