Cinderellas are teams that really aren't supposed to be there but made it through, I think Costa Rica is real deal and they most definitely belong, meanwhile Greece got in on an overly aggressive ply by Ivory Coast.

problem with ivory coast is that its best players (except for toure) are now washed out. and gervinho-- for everyone he scores, he fucks up 19.

Exactly why it was really now or never.. advancing would have helped motivate future talent to continue to work with the team.

i didn't see them play this game but i saw them vs colombia, and from what i've spied, ghana is the best african team this year

Ghana is indeed doing the best, but on paper Ivory Coast is the better match up out of Africa, hence why that loss was borderline epic. Ivory Coast could have beaten Costa Rica and made things interestingly meanwhile Greece gets to make it even more interesting for Costa Rica since it should be an easy win for Costa Rica..

but anyway, be careful what you ask for-- maybe ghana beats the shit out of portugal and we get send home.

Oh, I was asking for Ivory Coast, not Ghana. No No No.. Ghana has had their fun at the US expense too long now..

if colombia passes, costa rica-colombia should be amazing. pinto (the CR coach) is colombian, so he might have to commit seppuku so the narcos spare his family. shit! yes, this is a country where people have been killed for less. (watch "two escobars")

Indeed.
