Aus through.

Dancin' Redmayne was lucky with the first missed Peru penalty as he was probably off his line.

What are our chances vs Costa Rica?

What are our chances vs Costa Rica?

We're in with a chance but need to defend well, and try to score via a counter-attack or set piece. Ironically, that is how Costa Rica has been playing during their recent unbeaten streak. NZ struggles to score against non-Oceania teams so won't get many opportunities. Costa Rica have Keylor Navas in goal.

TAB odds are Costa Rica $1.27, NZ $ 3.55 so heavy underdogs.

Anyone know how to watch this in Oz? Obviously not for me.

No but it’s on BBC iPlayer, red button and BBC Sport website at 1900 in the UK.

1-0 Costa Rica after 3 mins

Gonna be a long night…

[junior]

We are actually dominating this match after their goal but really lacking the quality to put something decent into the box and then the ball into the back of the net

1-1

And overturned

[canefan]

Fuck that is some bull shit. Our guy was being pulled down by the Costa Rican defender and he gets pinged? Refs not used to someone trying to fight to keep after the ball instead of lying on the ground clutching their face

[junior]

I’m sitting here Watching the refereeing against the AWs thinking this is what it must be like supporting Scotland against the ABs

[Bovidae]

This ref is out of his depth. He let so many fouls go and then pulls that one up.

The positive is that after a terrible start we are well in this game, dominating possession and creating chances. This didn't happen against Peru. We just need some quality in front of goal.

[canefan]

These Costa Ricans are a bunch of lady boys

Keer Wan as the BBC commentator refers to him, is playing well.

[junior]

This game has gone to shit now. Very stop start. Red card incoming. FFS
