Costa Rica proves themselves worthy of being involved in the CONCACAF Gold Cup every single year. They are a powerhouse in the competition every year and have reached the quarterfinals of the tournament four times and the semi-finals twice. 2002 was their best year as they barely fell to the USA in a close match up in the finals after casting aside a pretty formidable Korean team. This Gold Cup might go a long way in ensuring that Costa Rica has what it takes to qualify for the 2010 World Cup, and it all starts in a game against El Salvador that you can see live right here on OleOleFootball. Costa Rica will enter the game as heavy favorites but cannot take the El Salvador team lightly. El Salvador will be looking to make a statement and prove they have a right to be here.

Speaking of El Salvador, the team is currently enjoying one of its best years on the international football stage. They have reached the final qualifying stage for the CONCACAF World Cup and are looking to turn their luck around when it comes to the Gold Cup. They will be lead by long time coach Carlos de los Cobos and will try to copy the success they had in the 2002 and 2003 tournaments. In the past five years El Salvador has been unable to win more than one game during the Gold Cup but a win over Costa Rica could help them solidify their status as a Gold Cup contender. Be sure to log onto OleOleFootball on Friday July 3rd to see Costa Rica and El Salvador battle it out in an important game that will set the stage for the rest of the 2009 tournament.
