Today, Celso Borges with Costa Rica faced a hard test against England in Leeds. The Deportivista midfielder, a national team regular, played the entire game in which Costa Rica lost 2-0 against England.

Celso Borges also played the whole 90 minutes against Northern Ireland last weekend in San Jose, and in which Costa Rica fans were able to bid the team farewell.

Next Monday 11th, the ‘Ticos’ will play their last friendly before the World Cup. They will play against Belgium at the King Baudouin stadium in Brussels.

Tomorrow, Fabian Schär will play against Japan at 7 pm in Lugano, Switzerland's training camp before leaving to Russia.

Yesterday, two Deportivistas, Francis and Ismael Diaz, had their last preliminary games before travelling to the World Cup.

Fabril's goalkeeper played the entire game again, and looks like he will be a regular for in Russia. Nigeria lost against Czech Republic (1-0), who scored in the 25th minute (Tomáš Kalas) of the game that took place in Austria.

At the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Ismael Diaz came on for Blas Perez in the 58th minute. The Fabrilista striker was unable to turn the game around for Panama, as Norway scored their only goal in the 3rd minute (Joshua King), and won 1-0.
