COSTA RICA Results: beat Uruguay 3-1, beat Italy 1-0, drew 0-0 with England, beat Greece 1-1 (5-3 on penalties), lost to the Netherlands 0-0 (4-3 on penalties) in quarter-final Goals scored: 5 Goals conceded: 2 Stars performers: Keylor Navas, Bryan Ruiz, Joel Campbell In a nutshell: they showed that team passion and commitment to the cause can outweigh any superstar individual input. Considered unlikely to even pick up a point from their group, they defied the naysayers to finish top and then held their nerve to beat Greece in a tense round of 16 clash. They then held their own against mighty Dutch in the quarter-finals. Fantastic effort that has made the world stand up and take notice od central American football.
