COSTA RICA LIKELY XI
Costa Rica’s strength lies in a deep defensive line backed up by one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Keylor Navas. The PSG shot-stopper has reached the pinnacle of the game, winning multiple honors throughout his career, including three UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid. Expect to see Navas busy with Spain, Germany, and Japan in their group and his teammates digging in, playing unadventurous football. Premier League fans will likely recognize former Everton and Sunderland left-back Bryan Oviedo. Fulham’s former attacking midfielder, Bryan Ruiz, recently announced he will retire after the World Cup.
