Accordingly, the victory over Italy helped Costa Rica get 6 points after 2 matches and officially won the ticket to continue amid the desire of Italy and Uruguay.
Costa Rica's surprise victory over Italy also meant that England had to say goodbye to the 2014 World Cup right after the second match. England's final match against Costa Rica is only of honor for the Three Lions. However, Costa Rica still needs at least a draw to maintain their top position in Group D.
So the most exciting situation in Group D is currently the final match between Italy and Uruguay on the evening of June 24.

Meanwhile, Luis Suarez and his teammates must defeat Italy if they want to advance.
