Read Bill Borrows every day during the World Cup on 4thegame - you know it makes sense!
Costa Rica coach Alexandre Guimaraes fears his side's poor showing at the World Cup finals could cost him his job.
The Ticos are already out of the tournament after losing 4-2 to Germany and 3-0 to Ecuador, but have the chance to salvage some pride when they face Poland in a battle of Group A's eliminated teams on Tuesday.
Rumours are rife that the match will be Guimaraes' last in charge, but the coach has not been given an indication about his job prospects yet.
"I can't say until we have played," he said. "Then we will carry out a detailed analysis.
"I am responsible for all the decisions made. If these games didn't ultimately turn out way they could have, I will ultimately be responsible."
