All Soccer News and Updates for Topic: Costa Rica

Costa Rica's chances of reaching the Copa América knockout phase are slim, requiring a victory against already-eliminated Paraguay to have any hope of advancing. After a promising goalless draw against Brazil, they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Colombia, leaving them scoreless in five of their last six Copa América matches.

Colombia began their 2024 Copa América campaign with a 2-1 victory over Paraguay, extending their unbeaten streak to an impressive 24 matches (W19, D5). A win against Costa Rica would mark their first-ever run of ten consecutive victories and secure their place in a sixth straight Copa América quarter-final.

Brazil enters the Copa América 2024 aiming for their 10th title after falling short at home in 2021. Despite a rough patch in late 2023, losing three straight World Cup qualifiers, new coach Dorival Júnior has revitalized the team. They're now four games unbeaten (2 wins, 2 draws) and have avoided defeat in their last five tournament openers (3 wins, 2 draws), keeping four clean sheets.
