What the local media say

当地媒体的声音

"England, Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica: a trio of former world champion heavyweights and the little mob that gave us Paolo Wanchope. We thought Group D would be a three-team group. And so it turned out that way. We just never expected England to be the D-for-dead team, only eight days after the World Cup began." - Daily Mail.

英国《每日邮报》：“英格兰、意大利、乌拉圭和哥斯达黎加：三个是曾获得过世界杯冠军的重量级球队，还有一个是曾有过著名球星保罗·万乔普的足坛小弟。我们曾以为D组更像是只有三支球队比拼。如今事情发展到这一步，也确实如此。只是我们从未想过世界杯比赛日才过去八天，英格兰就垫底了。”

"Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto said the sky’s the limit after the Central Americans claimed their second major scalp of the World Cup on Friday to secure their place in the last 16 for only the second time. Costa Rica, whose only previous last 16 appearance was in 1990, are ranked only 28th in the world, 19 places behind Italy and 21 places behind Uruguay. But less than a week after a 3-1 come-from-behind win over Uruguay, Pinto’s team added another touch of magic to their impressive campaign so far with a deserved 1-0 win over four-time champions Italy." - The Tico Times.

《哥斯达黎加时报》：“哥斯达黎加主帅豪尔赫·路易斯·平托在上周五战胜对手，赢得十六强的一席之位后曾说，成功无极限，这是他们第二次进入世界杯十六强。哥斯达黎加上一次称霸十六强还是在1990年世界杯上。如今他们世界排名第二十八位，比意大利和乌拉圭各落后19位和21位。但是，不到一周前，他们反败为胜，3:1击败乌拉圭，之后1:0战胜曾经四次在世界杯夺冠的意大利，这又为他们本已令人惊叹的征战之旅增添了不少传奇色彩。”

Key battle: Wayne Rooney v Giancarlo Gonzalez

关键对位：韦恩·鲁尼 vs 吉安卡洛·冈萨雷斯

The Manchester United striker has been unfairly pummelled in recent days, despite playing out of position against Italy and delivering a goal and an assist in two matches. When in doubt, hammer the most highly paid footballer on the pitch when there have been other, more upsetting deficiencies elsewhere.

最近，这名曼联前锋在对阵意大利时没有踢自己熟悉的位置，虽然在两次比赛中有一个进球和两次助攻，但还是受到了不公正的抨击和指责。让人感到疑惑的是，当球场上到处都是令人苦恼失望的缺陷和不足时，总是会严厉抨击身价最昂贵的球员。

Meanwhile, Costa Rica have looked organised in defence, despite conceding early doors to Uruguay; they also managed to withstand an occasionally-probing Italy attack in their second game. Gonzalez, who played at the heart of a five-man back-line, was the Italy game's top tackler, clearer and aerial-duel winner; he will need to be sharp again if Hodgson sticks to his revolving quartet up front, with Rooney as its central force.

相比之下，哥斯达黎加的防守则更加有序，尽管大门早早地就被乌拉圭攻破了。但是他们在第二场对阵意大利的比赛中，加强了防守，抵制住了意大利时不时发起的进攻。冈萨雷斯是哥斯达黎加五人后防线的核心，是对阵意大利的比赛中最优秀的后防队员。他头脑更加清晰冷静，是制空的王者。如果霍奇森坚持顶上以鲁尼为中坚力量的四人锋线的话，那么冈萨雷斯需要再次变得敏捷锋利起来。
