Will be fascinating to see how Peru go against Socceroos or UAE, the day before we play Costa Rica.

They dominate possession then, like they did against us in that first half especially, then that won't be a bad sign for the AWs. We mostly coped okay (yes got lucky with the woodwork twice) with a top outfit, in a pretty intimidating arena. 

And yes the young players like 20 yr old Stamenic - who has been playing in the lower half of the Danish 2nd tier the last 3 odd months - will be much better for the experience of the huge jump in class, speed and tension. I'd still start older head Lewis somewhere in that midfield mix against CR though.

And Libby is a real class act now, he will genuinely have the Ticos worried about their right flank. I think he went better with Pijnaker on the field, but that may just have been because it took the AWs awhile, and maybe a HT pep talk to grow into the match, and lose some fear. Smith was a curious selection to start.

And interesting to me that our 2 best players in today's game are with Serie A clubs. High class training environments every day I imagine. Hopefully Garbett can stay in Italy and get a loan deal to a Serie B or lower Serie A team.

Edit - and yeah alot of these guys played that 2019 U20 WC quarter final against another Latino country Colombia, in a toe to toe encounter. So that's a useful memory, to fall back on for some of the younger guys I guess.
