Group A
Germany vs Costa Rica
in München:
Six goals in the opening game of the 2006 World Cup Finals, and not all of them by
Germany; what more can you ask for?
Ecuador vs Costa Rica
in Hamburg:
This second defeat means Costa Rica and Poland will have nothing left to play for; the
2006 World Cup is over for both of them
Costa Rica vs Poland in Hannover:
Only pride to play for in this game, as Germany and Ecuador had already qualified from
Group A. Costa Rica's pride was hurt badly, as the flew home without a point from their
2006 World Cup Finals campaign.
Knockout Stage
