Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Greece manager Fernando Santos will make just one change to the team that beat the Ivory Coast last week.
Santos does have goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis fit for the game, despite his early exit from the game against the Ivory Coast.
However Panagiotis Kone, who also limped out of that game, has not recovered in time to feature in this one. Olympiacos winger Andreas Samaris, who has just five caps, will come in for the Bologna man.
Costa Rica manager Jorge Pinto will bring back the two players who were missing during the 0-0 draw with Roy Hodgson's England.
Roy Miller is replaced by Michael Umana, the most experienced player in the Costa Rica side, in the centre of defence, while Cristian Bolanos comes in on the wing for Randall Brenes.
The team is the same one that shocked Italy in Recife.
Costa Rica: Navas, Gamboa, Duarte, Gonzalez, Umana, Diaz, Ruiz, Borges, Tejeda, Bolanos, Campbell.
Substitutes: Miller, Brenes, Pemberton, Barrantes, Myrie, Cubero, Cambronero, Granados, Urena, Acosta, Calvo, Francis.
Greece: arnezis, Maniatis, Manolas, Samaras, Karagounis, Salpingidis, Torosidis, Lazaros, Sokratis, Cholevas, Samaris.
Substitutes: Gekas, Katsouranis, Moras, Kone, Vyntra, Tziolis, Mitroglu, Glykos, Tzavelas, Tachtsidis, Fetfazidis, Kapino.
