SR World Cup Match E
Tunisia (DW) VS Costa Rica (The Craziest Col)
1st Half
Tunisia kick off.
Tunisia have piled on the early pressure forcing the keeper to make 2 easy saves.
Tunisia have counter attacked a corner, a thru ball puts jaziri through on goal, he’s on one one with the keeper… HE SLOTS IT BY THE OPPOSING KEEPER AND IT GOES IN OFF THE POST TO GIVE TUNISIA THE LEAD! Tunisia 1:0 Costa Rica 25 minutes gone.
Costa Rica kick off.
Costa Rica move the ball to the wing, a cross along the floor reaches the post where the attacker slides for it… What a save by the keeper! He managed to stop a certain goal and the defender cleared!
Costa Rica have piled on the pressure but just haven’t been able to make the possession count
Half Time
Badgermans Half time Thought
It seemed as if Tunisia were going to dominate the game initially but Costa Rica have turned the tables and I can see them getting an equaliser.
2nd Half
Costa Rica Kick off
Wanchope went straight from the kick off towards goal only to see his goalbound shot ricochet back off the post, unlucky.
Drummondo for Costa Rica had a fantastic run that ended with a superb save from a 25 yard piledriver, corner to Costa Rica, it’s whipped in… but the keeper coolly gathers it
Tunisia have free kick just outside the area, Gomez strikes it… It bounces off the bar for a goal kick!
Beya for Tunisia is dribbling with the ball, he cuts in from the wing, he takes it by the defenders, he drags it back to leave him through on goal,… HE SCORES A WONDER GOAL! TUNISIA 2:0 COSTA RICA 72 Minutes gone!
Costa Rica kick off.
PENALTY FOR COSTA RICA! Wanchope was brought down right on the corner of the box, Wanchope has the chance to give them a midges testicle of hope with 87 minutes on the clock.
He shoots…
GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL! He blasts it into the top right corner narrowly averting the keeper who guessed bottom right. Tunisia 2:1 Costa Rica 87 minutes gone
Tunisia kick off.
OH MY GOD
Tunisia went straight from the kick off with Jaziri, he took on everyone and faked the keeper to go round him only to see his shot hit the post, roll along the line, hit the other post and then the Costa Rican defender slid in and bashed it against the post which then proceeded to fly across the line, hit the other post and end up close enough for the keeper to pounce on it
Fack me
Costa Rica unbelievably have 1 more chance, Wanchope has it on the edge of the area….
OH MY FACKING GOD UNBELIEVABLE! COSTA RICA HAVE DREW LEVEL DEEP INTO STOPPAGE TIME!!! WANCHOPE LAID THE BALL OUT WIDE, THEN THE BEST CROSS I’VE EVER SEEN SOARED TO THE BACKPOST WHERE GOMEZ HEADED IT, BOUNCED OFF THE KEEPER< HIT THE POST AND WENT IN!
TUNISIA 2:2 COSTA RICA!!! 93 Minutes gone
Full Time
Badgermans Pre-extra time analysis
This game hates me, 6 reports all of which have gone into extra time, ah well.
Extra Time 1st Half
Tunisia kick off
Oooh, a last ditch tackle managed to keep Wanchope from most likely scoring a golden goal.
Half Time
2nd Half Extra Time
Costa Rica Kick off.
Wanchope tried a hybrid over head kick/ scissor kick on the edge of the box which… failed.
We go to Penalties
Badgermans Pre-peno thought
A fantastic match there which I thought Costa Rica deserved, onto the dreaded Penalty shoot out

To keep Costa Rica in it its Cordero
WIDE COSTA RICA LOSE!
Badgermans full time thought
Unlucky to the team who deserved to go through, but hats off to Tunisia, they’ve come away with the win. But 2 goals in 2 minutes is something quite special in PES2 especially in injury time
