Ecuador 3, Costa Rica 0

Quito was quiet after Delgado put Ecuador up 2-0. Last night a gringo explained the Andean Ecuadorans were much more reserved than their coastal countrymen. When Kaviedes scored to put the game out of reach the cafe finally burst into cheers. Minutes later cars started honking their horns. It´s been loud since.

After Crouch scored his dubious header against TT the locals in the Plaza del Quinde (hummingbird) easily drowned out the English fans. Ole, ole, ole, Ecuador, Ecuador!
