World Cup 2014: Today at the tournament - day 18
Costa Rica v Greece? In the last 16 of the World Cup? You better believe it.

Few predicted Costa Rica beating England, Italy and Uruguay to top spot in Group D, while many thought Group C hopefuls Greece would struggle. Now two of the most unfancied teams in the tournament meet in Recife for a prized place in the quarter-finals.

Before that we are focused on Fortaleza where two World Cup stalwarts go head-to-head. Louis van Gaal's Netherlands side were very impressive as they finished the group stage with maximum points and see Mexico standing between them and the last eight.

Netherlands Face Mexico in 2nd Round of World Cup
The Dutch have scored 10 goals in their opening three matches, more than any other team at the tournament. But Mexico has conceded only one, and that was a late consolation goal in the 3-1 win over Croatia.

Greece determined to defy the odds against Costa Rica
Greece have prevailed in their now customary fashion, never looking likely contenders but somehow forgetting to get knocked out.
