Jorge Pinto believes that Costa Rica can beat an "inconsistent" England side when the two teams meet in Group D.

Costa Rica head coach Jorge Pinto has claimed that his team are ready to take advantage of England's "inconsistent" record at the World Cup.

The two teams meet on June 24 to finish off their Group D campaigns, and Pinto insists that his side will enter the match with a positive attitude as they look to produce a shock.

"Something I have identified for the last 12-14 years studying England is that England have become very inconsistent when it comes to World Cups. We hope to pick up on this, and exploit," the Colombian told reporters.

"We are not coming here as tourists, for the fun. It is an obligation for Costa Rica to take points from Uruguay and Italy, even before we have played England.

"One of the things we are working with most among the players is getting over that mind-set."

Costa Rica begin their campaign against Uruguay on Saturday night.
