New Zealand: Breaking the World Cup drought.
On the other hand, New Zealand has not been to the World Cup for two consecutive times, in its history it has been in the World Cup only twice, Spain 1982 and South Africa 2010, since then it has not been able to qualify and has always been very close to win its ticket, in its last participation they were left out in the first round after tying in the 3 matches played by New Zealand, a very discreet team, but with the desire to make history.
Costa Rica: Seeks to return to the World Cup.
After failing to qualify for Russia 2018, Costa Rica will seek to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup after 8 years of absence, in their last participation in Brazil 2014 they had a great World Cup reaching the Quarterfinals, they were placed in Group D with countries like Uruguay, Italy and England, a group where they had very little chance, But they were the surprise to be in first place in that group with 7 points, 2 games won and one lost, for the Round of 16 they faced Greece who defeated them in a penalty shootout to reach the Quarterfinals against the Netherlands team that finally eliminated them on penalties with a 4-3 aggregate, a World Cup that undoubtedly the fans of Costa Rica will never forget.
