Suffering a disappointing 2-2 draw on Saturday's men's national team friendly in Orlando, Florida, Costa Rica's "La Sele" made an early statement against Mexico only to follow it up with a whimper.
Costa Rica's national team revealed Tuesday one last friendly before the World Cup, and then revealed that the previous revelation was incorrect. La Sele will play Ireland, not Northern Ireland, just southwest of Boston on June 7.
The triumph should serve as a confidence boost for the national team as Costa Rica tries to keep up with its World Cup rivals in Group D. Check out the scenes from La Sele's "despedida" match.
Costa Rica takes on Paraguay in a crucial World Cup warm-up at 8 p.m. at San José's National Stadium. But before that match could even begin, the three other teams in Costa Rica's World Cup group completed their friendlies today.
