Nope, Cavani. Now Uruguay 1-0 Costa Rica.
ETA It was a legit penalty.
Was that push/contact to González (Costa Rica) by Rodríguez (Urugüay) just before the penalty recorded as a foul?
The director is getting a lot of good shots of the Uruguayans holding the Costa Ricans in Uruguay’s 18 yard box. Wonder if the ref will catch one of those, too.
Costa Rica equalize!
And score a second off a free kick!
Yay! Go Ticos!
Also, I’m glad those yellow cards were called against Urugüay.
The second Costa Rica goal was a brave header - a slight mistime there would be studs right in the face.
Another chance for the team to score, possibly.
[minirant]ITV commentators, listen up. If you are calling the CR second goal as “another contentious one” because the scorer might have been an inch offside, after five minutes and multiple repeat slow-mo replays from many angles - it’s not really very “contentious”. Stop trying to build a narrative, you twats[/minirant]
/agree
That goal was solid.
Hang in there, Ticos! CONCACAF represent!
Feck. Don’t get me started on commentators. I actually stopped watching football because of that sort of asinine twattery. I tried only watching matches that were simultaneously broadcast on radio so I could watch the match on TV and listen to the radio commentary, and watching matches on Sky who had a red button option to watch the match with a crowd-noise only option (do they still have that?)
Eventuality I just gave up and now only watch the Euros and World Cup.
Some of the commentators have been fine, or even great this Word Cup. In general, mostly unobjectionable.
Out of interest, whose broadcast are you watching Knorf?
5-1 was a shock but this result has really given Group D a shake up.
Holy crap, Costa Rica scores again! CRC 3 - URU 1 !!
Now this is an upset I was not expecting at all
URU 1-3 CRC now at 84’.
I doubt anyone did.
BBC red button has the option to watch the pics with the 5 Live commentary, and the syncing is usually spot on. Mind you, the BBC TV commentary and studio has been decent so far, but the radio commentary is usually superb.
Ticos!
I fear England are going to see a Uruguay desperate to stay in the tournament in the game following tonight’s match v Italy.
Thus far, this tournament has been pretty open. Much more so than I thought it would be coming in. It has been good viewing.
Thanks for that. You may have saved my sanity!
