So the US doesn't have to play Costa Rica at Saprissa either, which is great news. I guess they moved it to the national stadium. I believe it's grass and not plastic too. Also good.

I think they did switch it, and then switched back. AFAIK, they've always made us play at Saprissa.

I can't find a link in English, but for the Spanish speakers here:

I'd assume there is an english link out there, but if not, I'll translate it later. But it's basically a FIFA thing.

Costa Rica will host the United States at the National Stadium and not at the Ricardo Saprissa

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica. -The Costa Rican Football Federation confirmed on Wednesday that the National Stadium will host for the next playoff game September 6 against the United States.

The deal is because, Ricardo Saprissa Stadium will not be ready for a review that will make FIFA personeros July 1. The enclosure mentioned you are making arrangements for infrastructure and the replacement of the synthetic field.

"Anticipating that Saprissa will not be ready as requested FIFA (...) the committee chose to ratify the National Stadium once to play the match against the United States," said Rafael Vargas, a member of the Executive Committee of the Federation policy.

It will be the first time that Costa Ricans and Americans see the faces at the National Stadium, which opened in March 2011 and with a capacity of 35 000 people.

From Hex to France 1998, the Ricardo Saprissa had become a stage for generating fear U.S. selected product closeness of the court with the bleachers.

Also because the visiting clubhouse is just below the southern tier of the fans whose movement causes earthworks like an earthquake.

WINS IN YOUR NEW HOME

Although Saprissa was formerly the home of the selection, in this knockout National Costa Rica made the fortress.

The massive support from the fans coupled with the positive results created a new history in the premises located in the town of La Sabana.

The sum Tricolor achieved three consecutive wins against Jamaica (2-0), Honduras (1-0) and recently Panama (2-0). Much of that Costa Rica is deputy leader of the hexagonal advantage is due to take you to your new trench.

The game on September 6 great importance is disputed because the leadership of the hexagonal, USA. UU., Accumulated 13 points, two behind Costa Rica has the squad.

Also on the pavement "policy" there is a feeling of revenge for his defeat last March 22 in Denver where under heavy snow lost by the minimum.

LOL - Yeah, that's why I said I'd translate. It's basically saying one of the reasons that Costa rica is behind the US (but still winning) is because of their new field.
