World Cup (Under 20) - Group C Costa Rica vs Spain

Spanish football is on a high. They won the FIFA World Cup™ last year and the UEFA European U-21 Championship last month, while the country also houses the UEFA Champions League holders – an exceptional Barcelona side which comprises three graduates of the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique. Out to emulate the former, who inspired La Roja to their only triumph in this competition in 1999, will be another supremely talented cast headlined by Real Madrid ace Sergio Canales. But while many believe a Spain victory in their Group C curtain-raiser is a formality, Costa Rica proved themselves a force to be reckoned with in the previous edition of this tournament two year ago, when they reached the semi-finals before a narrow defeat by Brazil ended their trophy hopes. And with Joel Campbell, a tricky forward coveted by a selection of European giants, eager to continue the eye-catching form he showcased at the recent CONCACAF Gold Cup and Copa America events, Spain know they have a game on their hands.
