Group D contains England, Uruguay, Italy, and Costa Rica. Although this match seems to favour Uruguay with a landslide win, the next match will be a tooth and nail battle between England and Italy.
World Cup specialist Uruguay heads into its opening match of the 2014 tournament against Costa Rica at Castelao, Fortaleza with hopes of improving on the third-place finish they achieved in South Africa four years ago and replicating the 1950 success at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana that stunned Brazil. Oscar Tabarez’s side, however, heads into the tournament under something of a cloud, with star striker Luis Suarez rated doubtful for much of the group stage. Read More
Team lineups for Uruguay v/s Costa Rica
Uruguay travel to the 2014 World Cup with a certain relish having clinched the 1950 title by beating hosts Brazil 2-1 in the decider at the mythical Maracana stadium. It was their second World Cup trophy, they have made the semis three times, and have won the Copa America a record 15 times too. Although Uruguay are reigning continental champions, something went awry during the World Cup qualifying campaign and they had to book their ticket via the back door.

A convincing qualifying campaign has given Costa Rica a boost as the Central Americans head south for their fourth World Cup brimming with confidence. The Ticos's captain Bryan Ruiz wants to at least equal their best ever World Cup showing down in Brazil by emulating or surpassing the 1990 group, who were led by Hernan Medford and his teammates. Back at Italia 90 Costa Rica qualified from a group featuring Brazil, Scotland and Sweden before taking a cold shower in their last-16 match with the Czech Republic, when they lost 4-1.
