Costa Rica's soccer team will be playing in the World Cup this summer! Last trip there was a lot of excitement surrounding the team and the games. You can learn about the team by watching two matches prior to the World Cup and impress the Ticos with all your knowledge! For example, did you know that Bryan Ruiz will be team captain for his second straight World Cup? Or that they go by the nickname Los Ticos?
