The 2014 quarter-final run — beating Uruguay, Italy, Greece — remains the greatest WC achievement in CONCACAF history.
🇳🇱 Giant-Killers Again?
Group F pits Costa Rica against Netherlands and Japan — exactly the kind of established powers Los Ticos love to upset.
🌎 CONCACAF Pride
Costa Rica represent Central America with the region's best WC pedigree — every match carries the weight of a continent.
