Not just a "soccer match." The Costa Rican National Team will be hosting Argentina with Barcelona's Lionel Messi, universally considered the best futbol player of his generation.
My guess is place will be packed for the game, leaving Shakira with a half-filled stadium a few days later.

As I recall, Messi didn't live up to his 'superstar' status at the last Copa Mundo. I thought Arlen Robben of the Netherlands was outstanding, as well as Thomas Mueller, the young German player.
As an aside, is the next World Cup still being held in Brazil, as planned? Given the recent violence in Rio, how safe will it be?
