Costa Rica v Poland - Starting Line-Ups - Wanchope and Zurawski Start the Match

Submitted by Pavlos Skoufis on Tue, 20/06/2006 - 14:45.

The starting line-ups for the last World Cup 2006 fixture for Costa Rica and Poland. The two teams start with their key players Paulo Wanchope and Maciej Zurawski. The match might not be important, as both teams have not been able to progress to the knockout stages.

Costa Rica's coach Alexandre Guimaraes and Poland's coach Pawel Janas have one more reason to put their best efforts into this match, apart from leaving the tournament with the head high...

The Polish Football Association said that Pawel Janas' future in the Polish national football team depends a lot on the team's performance in the last match.

On the opposite camp, Costa Rica coach Alexander Guimaraes has been heavily criticised for his team's performance during the first two matches and is eager to get a positive result out of this match to ease the pressure on him to resign.

Defenders Jervis Drummond and Gabriel Badilla along with midfielder Christian Bolanos are starting the game for Costa Rica.

Ecuador's Agustin Delgado said that "Costa Rica will be more difficult for us than Poland," he told Reuters
