Tonight Costa Rica can practically wrap up the classification for the World Cup with a win at home over Trinidad. That would give them a 6 point advantage over Trinidad and if Guatemala is unable to tie or beat the high flying USA side, a six point advantage over the Guatemalans too.

Game time is 8:00 pm and the match will be televised live on Channels 6 and 7. The coach has gone with a very offensive”5 - 3 - 2″ line up:

Porras will repeat as the Goal Tender. Marín, Martínez and Umaña will be the central defenders. Miller and Drummond will be the “carrileros”, which means they will defend and attack along the sidelines. Centeno, Solís and Bolaños will be the midfielders. All three are better attacking than defending. Saborío, Gómez, and Wanchope will be the forwards. Gómez and Wanchope have history of scoring goals on Trinidad and Saborío is currently Fortune’s Favorite.

Keep your fingers crossed and remember: “Si Se Puede!” (yes we can1)
