jenni_blogThe WC 2010 playoff series between Costa Rica and Uruguay is one of the most exciting ones. Only one of these teams can qualify for the World Cup and it will be sad to see the other go out. The first leg of the playoff series took place yesterday in Saprissa, Costa Rica, and Uruguay won 1 - 0. It looks like Costa Rica will most likely not make it, so with that in mind I thought I'd do a picspam of the team. It is a good-looking team as well as a talented one, and will be missed.
