How they qualified Beat the USA and Mexico on their way to second place in the six-team North American group. World Cup high Reaching the last 16 at Italia ’90, beating Scotland and – more impressively – Sweden in the process. World Cup low Losing all three of their group games, conceding nine goals, in Germanyin 2006. Familiar faces Bryan Oviedo (Everton), Bryan Ruiz (Fulham). The manager Standing at 5ft 5in, Jorge Luis Pinto bears all the hallmarks of short-man syndrome. Never short of a terse word in press conferences. How in danger is he? 6/10 Most likely to light up Brazil Winger Joel Campbell is yet to play for Arsenal since joining in 2011, but his pace is integral to Costa Rica’s counter-attacking style. Most likely to be sent home in disgrace Alvaro Saborio was top scorer in qualifying but has a hot temper, once reportedly kicking a ball at a child during an open training session. Title odds: 1000/1 The stereotype is … An impeccably-drilled outfit of small, compact midfielders and big, leggy strikers. The reality is ... An impeccably-drilled outfit of defenders, defenders and more defenders. Pinto likes his 5-4-1 formation, and against the bigger nations, expect it to get another outing. What are they known for? Outstanding natural beauty 56 per cent Fleeting but unbreakable bond with Derby County 44 per cent How Brazilian are they? When one of your country’s greatest ever players is Paolo Wanchope, it’s probably fair to say there is something of a gulf there. How Google translates the national anthem In the tenacious battle of fruitful work, reddening the face of man, conquered your children, simple peasants eternal renown, esteem and honour. Duration Just under two minutes. How to dress like their fans Slip on a poncho and make it rain with ticker tape. Look unimpressed if anyone asks you the way to San Jose. Commentator's go-to stat Costa Rica has no standing army. Cue plenty of jokes about having a shabby defence.

出線之路 在北美六個國家的小組賽中擊敗美國和墨西哥，爭取排名第二。 世界杯比賽中取得的最好成績 在1990年意大利世界杯中，哥斯達黎加沖進16強，其間不僅打敗了蘇格蘭隊，還戰勝了瑞典隊。 世界杯的最差戰績 2006年，哥斯達黎加隊在德國世界杯小組賽中三戰全敗，痛失9球。 知名球員 布萊恩·奧維多（埃弗頓足球俱樂部）和布萊恩·魯伊茲（富勒姆足球俱樂部） 主教練 喬治·路易斯·平托只有5英尺5英寸高（165厘米），他具有矮個子的一切特征。在新聞發布會上的發言從來都是簡明扼要。 他的下課幾率？ 6/10 巴西世界杯最有可能出彩的球員 喬爾·坎貝爾自2011年加入阿森納俱樂部以來一直擔任邊鋒，他的速度是哥斯達黎加這種防御型戰術不可或缺的一部分。 就能力來說，阿爾瓦羅·薩博里奧是一名合格的球員，但他脾氣暴躁。據報道，他曾在公開訓練期間把球踢向一個小孩。 冠軍賠率 1000/1 固有印象 一支由小個子中鋒和大高個長腿前鋒組成的訓練有素的隊伍。 球隊事實 一支由防守隊員、防守隊員以及更多的防守隊員組成的訓練有素的隊伍。平托很喜歡5-4-1的部署，以此來對抗實力比較強大的國家，希望哥斯達黎加能再次沖進世界杯。 他們為什么如此有名？ 56%是因為他們出色的外形 44%是由于他們與德比郡短暫而又牢不可破的聯系 與巴西隊相比 如果你的國家里最好的球員是保羅·萬喬普，那么這其中確實是存在差距的。 谷歌翻譯的國歌 我們為實現富足而不懈奮斗，人們面泛紅光，孩子們也被征服，淳樸的農民可以永保名聲、自尊與榮耀。 國歌時長 兩分鐘內 怎樣才能看起來像他們的球迷 穿上南美披風，多扔彩帶。如果有人問你去圣約翰的路，不要表現出很刻意的樣子。 評論員的解說詞 哥斯達黎加沒有常駐軍隊。有很多關于這方面的笑話。
