The
United States clutched their
World Cup berth this past Saturday with a 3-2 away win over
Honduras. Despite this, when
Costa Rica come to Washington D.C. they will field a mid-strength team. Forward
Clint Dempsey is injured and unable to play in the match but the rest of the team is fit and ready to perform.
Costa Rica have beaten the
United States in their last 2 matches but both were in San Jose.
If
Costa Rica manage to win this game then they will have also guaranteed a spot for the
World Cup. Table rivals Honduras are close behind and need
Costa Rica to get either a draw or loss for a chance to go through.
Costa Rica have not been in good form lately and have only managed to score in 1 of their last 4 outings. Count on a full strength
U.S. squad to overcome the Latin Americans tomorrow night.
