A fairly entertaining half

Germany leads 2-1.

Thanks to Germany's insistence on playing an offside trap against a quicker team, Costa Rica has had some scoring chances and would have had more if the referee's assistants understood that level when the ball is played IS ONSIDE.

Wily old Paolo Wanchope, a former EPL regular, has made the German defense look slow on more than one occasion.

It says here that if the Germans abandon the trap in the second half, they win by three goals.
