I'll Be Supporting Costa Rica Tonight

[excelsior-1]

those of you who know me are aware that I have no interest in football at all

however, as costa rica were drawn randomly for me in a sweepstake before the tournament began - and they have not only survived, but won their group, against all expectation......i feel i must cheer them on tonight

[royfromaus]

What do you mean by that?

[royfromaus]

What a crap goal.

[berniecuddles]

oh dear! 1-1

[Maydup]

What a shame, crying shame that equaliser. Extra time now. Will you stay up Excel? If not I'll just have to shout louder!

[jeffa]

The last minute turnaround yet again!

[excelsior-1]

staying up (i shall regret it in the morning)

whatever the result - this cannot be missed

[jeffa]

So, penalties again?

[royfromaus]

Whoever wins this will get murdered by the Dutch. It actually shows me the England performance against Costa was worse than I first thought.

[royfromaus]

I think Greece will win from here. (I have them in my pub sweep)

[jeffa]

Agreed, roy. Everyone is trying to console themselves that their "performance" was just a warm-up for Euro 2016. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't even qualify...

[jeffa]

15 minutes each way. If still even, penalties.

[royfromaus]

The extra time has been brilliant.

[jim360]

Yes, ironically almost because both sides were lacking in energy. Made for an open and surprisingly frantic finish. Penalties now... oo-er. I wouldn't normally want Greece to win but heck, sweepstake loyalty has to win the day.

How much is your sweepstake prize, excelsior?

[Maydup]

Can't look

[royfromaus]

I bet he wishes he had stayed retired.
