Italy were dire vs Costa Rica, doing pretty much nothing. However, I want to credit the Costa Ricans, who are playing really good, positive football. Defensively they have moments of vulnerability, but their pressing is generally excellent and they've been the side who have surprised me the most this world cup. They have earnt their passage to the next round with flying colours, and for the brand of football they're playing to do it, they have a lot of support from me.
