Rene Simoes, new coach of Costa Rica

Neither Henry Meza, and Ricardo Lavolpe, and Jose Pekerman. The new occupant of the bench tico will be the Brazilian Rene Simoes. Express operation in Costa Rica has signed the Amazon to fulfill the difficult task of putting the team tico a direct ticket to the World Cup. Simoes has resigned from his position with the Portuguese in the Brazilian second division. The strategist knows perfectly the climate of CONCACAF qualifying, after which in 1998 managed to qualify for the first time to Jamaica to a World Cup. Another of his honors was obtained in Athens 2004, where he hung his silver medal as coxswain of the women's team of Brazil.

The timing of Costa Rica you can aspire to deliver the play-offs. In the penultimate round, receives a hopeless team Trinity, while Honduras will play in San Pedro Sula to the U.S. combined. The Ticos will take his rival's weakness to improve their overwhelming difference in scoring, and hope that America will steal a point (or three) to the Hondurans. On the final day, U.S. visit to Costa Rica and Honduras played a through ball to Salvadorans in the Cuscatlan in duels to kill or die.

The picture does not look very promising, since both Costa Rica does not only depend on their results, but points to leave Honduras on the road. Still, the Ticos have virtually secured the means Concacaf ticket, and that El Salvador needs four of six points per contest to get into the fight. In the worst case scenario, Costa Rica will play the pass to the World Cup before the fifth of CONMEBOL, which could be Argentina, Ecuador, Uruguay or Venuezuela. Can he put Simoes of the Ticos to their third consecutive World Cup?
