World Cup love

Costa Rican midfielder Celso Borges wears a Switzerland jersey as he kisses his partner after Russia 2018 World Cup Group E football match between Switzerland and Costa Rica at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium in Nizhny Novgorod on June 27, 2018.

Costa Rica now heads home after failing to move forward out of the group round of the World Cup, much to the disappointment of fans back home.
