President Luis Guillermo Solís predicted the final score of the World Cup match between Costa Rica and Italy.
In a tweet sent minutes before the Friday morning match, Solís asked Ticos to send their predictions for the match. Then he accurately predicted a Costa Rica victory 1-0 over four-time champions Italy.
¿Cómo quedamos hoy? Yo digo que #CRC 1 #ITA 0 :) ¿qué dicen tuiteros y tuiteros?

After Costa Rica won, Solís invited Ticos to join him in a celebration at the La Hispanidad roundabout, a traditional point of celebration for residents of the capital.
“I told you, 1-0” the president tweeted after the game.
Se los dije 1-0 #CRC
