And to think the NFL held-up the season opener for 45 minutes due to a rainstorm.

Will John McCain add Costa Rica to the list of countries he wants to bomb?

So the game was played in a blizzard,
both teams had the same disadvantages.

This is my recollection of that 1st game they talk of that the USA won.

In Denver, it was first delayed one time because of the snow, they came back to play it the next day and gave it a go.

The Costa Ricans wanted to play it as well, I think it is an exaggeration to categorically say the Ticos, Costa Ricans wanted it postponed, they may have after the game was over and they lost but not during. Because if it had been delayed that 2nd time, it might have been much more inconvenient to schedule it again.

As it is, they only lost by 1 goal and the way things are, have a good shot to go to the World Cup still. There have been a number of times, USA, Mexico and Costa Rica have all gone, the thing is now, Honduras and Panama are better.

Looks like the game begins at 10 PM EST.

Costa Rica scores in first 5 minutes.

We are at the top of the group, of course, we don’t want to lose but I don’t think it will be the end of the world.

The first 3 teams advance automatically to the world cup, the 4th place team will be in a playoff with a country/team from another region, probably South America.
