Boxy to have some intel on the Ticos?
Oh & forgot to add elsewhere. Minor thing perhaps but Rojas (Chilean parentage) is a fluent Spanish speaker. Remember him handling the Mexican press pack back in 2013. Handy bonus when looking to do some analysis/spying of the Costa Ricans maybe!
Boxy & Tuiloma probably tienes poco Espanol tambien, from playing with heaps of Latinos at their MLS clubs.

Not sure how much you know about Costa Rica as a footballing entity but you’re probably about to find out. They do have Keylor Navas in goal. Joel Campbell used to play for Arsenal. Brian Ruiz was pretty good for Fulham and Sporting CP not so long ago. Celso Borges has over 150 caps in the midfield. Bryan Oviedo is another name. Francisco Calvo used to partner Michael Boxall at CB for Minnesota United. Former Welly Nix winger Kenny Cunningham is from Costa Rica though at 36yo he’s long since out of the picture. But hold up we’re getting ahead of ourselves with all that (don’t worry though, the Costa Rica scouting report is already in preparation).
