And Costa Rica Tells Uruguay To Stick It

((HT: ESPN/FIFA))

A lot of firsts, except for Jon Champion calling both of the early shockers in the soccer matches in Brazil...

Costa Rica gets their first win in over a decade in the competition and they put THREE in Uruguay in a decisive 3-1 win. Cavani put home a PK in the 24th minute to give the Uruguayans and their smedium uniforms a 1-0 lead. They carried the lead into the break and then, well, they broke.

The Ticos scored the most goals ever in a game with Campbell, Duarte, and Urena knocking it in the net. Maxi Pereira picked up a red card for a silly challenge on Campbell and it's on in Group D.

There was a question about the Duarte goal and whether or not the play should have been whistled offsides...
But the Urena goal had a great amount of slice spin on it for the dagger


And now Uruguay has to fight uphill for the rest of Group stage

Opening Round of the Group of 16 in Champions League has ManU at Olympiakos...

And it went as well as expected for the Fergie-less Red Devils...

Evidence below...


Postgame on all elements social media have been aflame with rage by Manchester United fans...
And the HQ wonders just how much patience the fans will have with David Moyes- the guy saddled with all this stuff that is supposed to resemble a world-class roster...

The front office seems ready to spend for Moyes, but will pressure let him stay...???

Michael Carrick was a stand-up guy to answer questions afterwards...
