Without meaning to be disrespectful whats the connection with Costa Rica ? Just seems a strange choice of opponents for this type of game.

Its an International week anyway isn't it.

So I suspect this is just a friendly the Welsh FA arranges months ago before Speed passed on.

Rather than a tribute match set up specifically to honour Speed I think its just the first international match they have played since where they will pay tribute to him.

Didnt he make his debut against them or something like that?

[tans]

Yeah he did

[Devizes_Red]

Speed made his debut for Wales on 20 May 1990 against Costa Rica at Ninian Park.  This would explain why Costa Rica were chosen as their opponents for tonights game.
