England and Costa Rica are measured in a match with roles reversed

A Central worth a point for them to top the group and the English and nothing is playing

Costa Rica and England play a match in Belo Horizonte with roles reversed in the final Group D of the World Cup, where the Central point enough for them to be first in the area. If once known schedule a seer had ensured that the match between Costa Rica and England a classified to knockout team would face and one that only plays to save his honor, 99 percent of fans in the planet would have pitied the Central Americans. But no. In Mineirão and to close the first stage an encounter with features that nobody will expect.

On the one hand, Costa Rica, with his football freshness and exuberance after beating Uruguay and Italy to become the biggest surprise of the tournament, look for the first place in the group, what presumably would lead to avoid Colombia, a rival theoretically stronger than Ivory Coast, Japan and Greece. And opposite the British, with the only motivation of not completing the worst participation of inventors of the game in the finals of the World Cup.

The only coincide with what would have happened if it was what was meant by "logic" is that both teams will present many changes from the starting line of the first games. "I want to give some players a rest," said Jorge Luis Pinto, Costa Rican coach, but said, "That does not mean that the group stage is finished for us, we want to win." No problems with the card, as only José Miguel Cubero, usual substitute, saw a yellow and threatened with suspension, Pinto poses one or two changes per line. It is considered certain that the forward Marcos Urena, author of a goal against Uruguay will be among the starters in place of Bryan Ruiz and Joel Campbell, and it is likely that players like Barrantes, Acosta, and said Cubero Brenes has a chance from startup. "It's a very important game for us, we want the first place," said Paulo Wanchope, TA and true legend of football in his country.

For the British the challenge is a very different and certainly much sadder. The worst performance by England in a World Cup took place precisely in Brazil, in 1950. At that time also played three games, which lost two, against the United States and Spain, and won the remaining off Chile. He scored twice and received many others. In this edition you can only hope to match that mark and not be so lonely in last place. 1958 Sweden was the only issue on which the British did not win a match, but this time only drew three lost one.

The attempt to wash a little face a choice that, while losing to Uruguay and Italy was no less than their opponents in game development, which carried out the usual substitutes. Coach Roy Hodgson, who despite the early exit was confirmed in office by the Federation of their country, announced, "I will change the team. I want everyone to show what they do, because otherwise all have participated in the work and the disappointment of going home early. " The lineup, therefore, is a real mystery. Hodgson at least face the clash away to already know you have several years ahead for the British again find the path to success in the game they invented.
