Costa Rica and a handicapped shot at glory

It seems that Costa Rica will accept any terms to obtain another shot at football glory.

But with terms like the CONCAF's stipulations that only 5 adult members of their national team may play in the Copa America 2011 games, who's still got hopes for a shot at the title?

The extra coverage from this internationally televised tournament will only put extra pressure on this tiny country's inexperienced players, and the odds don't help.

Yet, Costa Rica will play with these odds, taking comfort that Mexico, usually a big player on the world scene, will also be under the same restrictions.

This news is just so saddening. We all know how Yao Ming, who is from China contributed much to the National Basketball Association or the NBA, specifically to the Houston Rockets. He played eight seasons for the NBA and he did very great! The only reason why he had to retire this early because of some injuries that he got while playing. This is an early retirement for him, but I am very sure that China is way too proud for this basketball start. Or should I say, basketball legend.
