“It was a dream.”
Minnesota United’s captain Francisco Calvo won’t soon forget his first World Cup with Costa Rica. Even though los Ticos were eliminated in the group stage with just one point, Calvo will take away plenty of memories and plenty of experiences.
That said, the defender isn’t satisfied with the results that the Costa Rican's earned.
“The first game, we were playing a little bit defensively, but okay and then Kolarov scored the free kick--it was an amazing goal. We missed a couple of chances. I’m pretty sure that if we had scored before this is another kind of game,” he said of Costa Rica’s first match, a loss to Serbia that was 0-0 after 90 minutes.
