Just as they are looking to build momentum ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Slovakia have opted to test their fire against Costa Rica one more time. It will be their last opportunity to warm-up before they kick off their World Cup campaign on June 15 against New Zealand. Slovakia played out an unconvincing 1-1 draw against Cameroon in late May.
This result just allowed fears to distract their hopes of progressing from their group which contains the likes of favorites Italy, South America’s Paraguay, and underdogs New Zealand. Slovakia impressed throughout their European World Cup qualification campaign, topping countries like Poland and the Czech Republic in their table to clinch automatic tickets to the 2010 World Cup finals. But since the start of this year, Slovakia’s national football team hasn’t enjoyed anything positive. Let’s see what they’ll gain against Costa Rica on Saturday.
Costa Rica are planning for a better future following their failure to reach the finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. On June 1, they defeated World Cup participants Switzerland 1-0 to forget about the 2-1 defeat they suffered in the hands of the French.
