Costa Rica continues to surprise by beating Italy

Or at least on everyone else’s expectations.

Costa Rica followed up its surprise win overUruguay with another World Cup stunner on Friday, beating four-time champion Italy 1-0 to secure a spot in the next round and eliminate England in the process.

After entering the tournament as an expected underdog in a group featuring three former world champions, Costa Rica is now on top.

”Maybe there are a lot of people who didn’t have faith in us because we were in the ‘Group of Death,’ said Costa Rica captain Bryan Ruiz, who scored the key goal. ”But the other guys are the ones who are dead and we’re going to the next round.”
