Day 9

DAY 9

 

 

6/20/14. SALVADOR DE BAHIA - Today, at Arena Fonte Nova's match between France & Switzerland, Mini Papi witnessed two things that happened for the very first time at this World Cup: a penalty kick was missed and there was a free kick goal. After the game, he went to the Historic Center of the city to check out what the whole buzz was about, and the atmosphere was so great that he decided to stay there partying like a... 'local', I guess (don't miss the pics of this place the next couple of days). 

 

 Without a doubt, the story of the day belongs to Costa Rica. Known as the "Cinderella" of Group D, Costa Rica is not only very much alive in the so-called "group of death", but it is also guaranteed a spot in the first round of the playoffs, already, after beating Uruguay & Italy in back to back matches. 

 

TODAY'S RESULTS:

ITALY 0 - 1 COSTA RICA

FRANCE 5 - 2 SWITZERLAND

HONDURAS 1 - 2 ECUADOR
