Ecuador waves goodbye to Costa Rica
15th June 2006
Tenorio, Delgado and Kaviedes gave Ecuador a well-deserved win over Costa Rica today. The 3-0 win meant the South Americans are through to the next round while their Caribbean cousins are out of the competition. Ecuador, who are taking part in only their second World Cup, looked solid throughout and appeared in control throughout.
They will face Germany next week in the decider for the top spot in Group A and might play England in the next round. If we were Sven, we’d feel safer playing Germany instead: the Ecuadorians look stronger than Ballack and co, not least as they have a defence worthy of the name… It’s refreshing to see a South American team other than Argentina or Brazil progress in the World Cup: keep it up Ecuador!
