Uruguay - Costa Rica

One of the most bizarre World Cup games between two teams that have ever met have been offering dramatic games and great emotions. The axis around which the match comes is the absences of the two main aggressors of the two teams, Luis Suarez for Uruguay and Saborio for Costa Rica. 

In my eyes the absence of Suarez is perhaps the most important absence that Uruguay could have in this game. Uruguay may have been one of the best teams in the previous World Cup and reached the semi-finals, but has since changed too much. Forlan was old, Cavani was a bit on the sidelines and Suarez was the main protagonist of the team, who led the team's assault and the World Cup qualifying.

World Cup qualifying was not easy for Uruguay, having needed the barrage with Jordan, they had to show a tragic defense, and whenever Suarez found no nets, it was not easy to win the game.

On the other hand, Saborio's absence is a blow to Costa Rica, but they do not support everything to their big aggressor. The presence of players such as Campbell, Bolanos, Celso Borges and of course Ruiz of Eindhoven, give excellent team capability for quick counterattacks and good scoring prospects. Especially against such an unstable defense as that of Uruguay, who with Lugano in old age now, Caceres has problems in his concentration, and Godin has been dismembered since Atletico, I do not see it at all as a fantasy scenario in a counterattack to Costa Rica has scored goals.

The Costa Rican defensive nature will put many problems in Uruguay. Celeste's pressure is very high, as it is a team's obligation to repeat the 1950 feat, and surely if the quick goal does not come, there will be a lot of problems for the team. If we add to this the fact that if they do not win Costa Rica they are lost afterwards, then the anxiety becomes even bigger.

But I think the time will come in the fight that Uruguay will find the way to bend the defense of Costa Rica and the amazing Keylor Navas and at least one goal. So I can see that the goal / goal in this game is far more likely than the bookmakers give it at 2.50. In recent history I see 4 matches with 2-1, 2-0, 1-1 and 1-1.
