Group D of the 2014 FIFA World Cup consists of Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, and Italy. This is the only group to contain more than one previous winner of the World Cup; as there are three previous winners, so at least one will be eliminated during the group stage. It is also the only group with three top 10 FIFA World Ranking teams as October 2013 (ranking date for final draw) and at start of competition. Play began on 14 June and will end on 24 June 2014.

Uruguay vs Costa Rica

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Uruguay and Costa Rica match at the FIFA World Cup 2014-06-14.

The two teams had met in eight previous matches, most recently in 2009 in the CONCACAF – CONMEBOL play-off, won by Uruguay 2–1 on aggregate to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[2]

Uruguay the led the game 1–0 at half time, through an Edinson Cavani penalty after Diego Lugano was pulled down in the box by Júnior Díaz. Keylor Navas prevented the reigning South American champions' lead from doubling by tipping over Diego Forlán's shot. In the second half, Joel Campbell equalised when the ball fell to him in the box after a deep cross from Cristian Gamboa. Soon afterwards, Costa Rica went into the lead when Óscar Duarte headed in a free kick from Christian Bolaños. A pass from Campbell allowed substitute Marco Ureña to make it 3–1, and in injury time Maxi Pereira was given a straight red card for a kick at Campbell.[3]

It was the first time Costa Rica, reigning Central American champions, scored three goals in a World Cup match,[4] and also the first time Uruguay lost to a non-South American or European country in the World Cup.[citation needed]

England vs Italy

The two teams had met in 24 previous matches, including in the 1990 FIFA World Cup third place match, won by Italy 2–1.[6] Their most recent competitive meeting was in the UEFA Euro 2012 quarter-finals, won by Italy on penalties after a scoreless draw.

Italy went ahead first, when from a short corner, Andrea Pirlo dummied Marco Verratti's pass, and Claudio Marchisio scored with a shot from outside the penalty box. England quickly equalised through a close-range Daniel Sturridge goal from a Wayne Rooney cross. The scores were level at 1–1 at half time, but Mario Balotelli headed Italy's winner five minutes after play resumed from a cross by Antonio Candreva.[7]

The England physiotherapist Gary Lewin was stretchered off with a dislocated ankle suffered in the celebrations for England's goal, which ruled him out for the rest of the World Cup.[8]
