Costa Rica aim to heap more misery on England when Roy Hodgson's side attempt to bow out of the FIFA World Cup with a win on Tuesday. England were optimistic that they could exceed expectations in Brazil, but that proved to be unfounded as defeats against Italy and Uruguay in their first two Group D matches ensured they will make an early exit from the tournament.
Not since 1958 have England failed to progress to the knockout stage at a World Cup, but the Football Association have backed Hodgson to stay on as manager. Another defeat against Costa Rica at Estadio Mineirao will no doubt lead to more speculation as to whether Hodgson is the right man to take his country forward.
Costa Rica have succeeded where England have failed by beating Uruguay and Italy to surprisingly seal their place in the last 16 with a game to spare.
While the inquest into England's failure in Brazil goes on, Costa Rica can look forward to playing a World Cup knockout game for the first time since 1990. Jorge Luis Pinto could opt to make changes for the final group game with qualification already secured, while Hodgson has vowed to make alterations to his side in order to give squad members who have not featured in the first two matches an opportunity.
Frank Lampard is set to captain the side, with Steven Gerrard dropping to the bench, and youngsters Luke Shaw - in for the injured Leighton Baines - and Ross Barkley are to get a chance from the start, but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee) will play no part.
If England suffer another defeat on Tuesday it will be the first time they have failed to pick up a point in a World Cup.
