Spain has been a World Cup nightmare over the last two tournaments. Since winning in 2010, they have been eliminated in the group stage and then the round of 16. Their golden generation has begun to fade away. Now, a young side has stepped into the spotlight, and a nation with endless football heritage looks poised to return to form.
Costa Rica can handle itself in challenging situations. Drawing Uruguay, England, and Italy in 2014 – they managed to top that group, going undefeated. Unfortunately, the following World Cup saw them take on Brazil, Serbia, and Switzerland – they only came away with a single point.
