Group E Matchday 2 - Brazil vs. Costa Rica
After a drab 1-1 showing against Switzerland that had some comparing it to Brazil's worst ever World Cup matches, the tournament favorites continue group play today against western hemisphere opponent Costa Rica. Despite injury concerns during the opening match and in practice, Brazilian star forward Neymar will start and will hope to find more space to operate after the Swiss gave the talented scorer little room to move without facing a kicking from a disciplined rotational fouling tactic that seemed to work. Costa Rica, meanwhile, will be hoping to score their first goal of the tournament after playing Serbia to a tight 1-0 loss in their first match. A perfect Aleksandar Kolarov free kick was the difference in an evenly fought, physical tie and the Costa Ricans will hope to find more space themselves behind the more adventurous Brazilian attack.
