La Nación, a prominent Costa Rican newspaper, published several posts on November 14, 2025, focusing on the performance of the Costa Rica national football team and its standing in international competition.
In one post from that day, La Nación stated: “Nicaragua sorprende y le da una mano a la moribunda Selección de Costa Rica” (Nicaragua surprises and gives a hand to the moribund Costa Rica National Team).
Another post from November 14 quoted Celso Borges, a key player for Costa Rica’s team: “Celso Borges tampoco tenía la llave para la Selección de Costa Rica: ‘Mal, muy mal’” (Celso Borges also did not have the key for the Costa Rica National Team: ‘Bad, very bad’).
A third post cited Miguel Herrera, coach of the Costa Rican national team. According to La Nación’s tweet from November 14: “Miguel Herrera, técnico de la Selección de Costa Rica, aseguró que el equipo tuvo seis opciones para anotar y Haití solo una (como si eso sirviera de algo).” (Miguel Herrera, coach of the Costa Rica National Team, assured that the team had six chances to score and Haiti only one—as if that mattered).
