BEIJING, June 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Costa Rica, which had already secured a place in the next round, has tied England 0-0. With England already out, pride was the only thing on the line.
Roy Hodgson made a host of changes for England’s starting line-up, but Costa Rica fielded a strong starting 11, looking to top Group D.
In the first half, both sides played offensive and quick-pace football, trying to break the ice, but neither scored.
In the second half, the same situation continued as the two teams squandered many chances, finishing with a 0-0 tie.
