I'm happy for Costa Rica

[Willie99]

Congrats to all the Ticos

Never thought much about that nation until I joined this forum. Although the native talk has disappeared

Damn, I remember "dodging pot holes" (something like that) posting his daily specials for his restaurant. I used to think I wanted to eat there someday.

Anyhow, Congrats Costa Rica, now beat Germany

Yes Willie!!! A huge win for Costa Rica... CR 1 Japan 0. I stayed up to watch the game. Population Japan 130 million. CR 5 million. 6am Sunday and everyone is awake and celebrating. Pura vida!

I'm loving all the upsets, is this more than usual? I think so

Is the world catching up? I'm leaning yes

From what I have observed watching at least the last 5 World Cups, the upsets are the same as usual in the groups phase.
Normally when the direct elimination phase begins, the upsets are clearly less as a percentage. But you never know, lol.
