Where can one buy good quality but cheap jerseys . Coach Jorge Luis Pinto resisted naming any major surprises in the lineup and is using the same core of players who helped Costa Rica to qualify as the top team from the CONCACAF region. Pinto said he was happy to stick with his proven players and valued continuity in the team. "If we have to make changes, we will when the time comes," Pinto said. He said he will name his final 23-man squad on May 31, before the team travels to the United States for friendlies against Japan and Ireland. Pinto also confirmed that defender Bryan Oviedo of Everton will miss the cup with a broken left leg. Oviedo was injured in January and was not able to recover sufficiently to make the team. Costa Rica will be a heavy underdog to advance from a group containing England, Italy and Uruguay. The Central Americans will be appearing in their fourth World Cup, but merely picking up a point or two will be difficult against three teams near the top of the FIFA rankings with seven World Cup titles between them. Knocking one of the European giants out of the World Cup and matching its achievement of reaching the round of 16, which happened in 1990, would be a major accomplishment. ------ Squad: Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas (Levante), Patrick Pemberton (Alajuelense) Daniel Cambronero (Herediano), Esteban Alvarado (AZ Alkmaar).

Serge Ibaka of the Thunder and Matt Barnes of the Clippers were ejected, and Griffin received a technical foul for his part in the altercation with 6 seconds left in the second quarter.

Jamal Crawford scored 20 points off the bench for the Clippers, who had six players in double figures while winning their third in a row. DeAndre Jordan and J.J. Redick scored 15 each, and Chris Paul had 14 points and 16 assists. The fireworks began when Griffin was trying to put the ball up and his arms and Ibakas became entangled. Barnes shoved Ibaka hard in the chest. Griffin kept trying to get at Ibaka as players from both teams formed a scrum. Ibaka cocked his right fist, but didnt take a swing as Barnes smiled at him. Durant made the free throw on Griffins technical and Westbrook hit a 3-pointer to give the Thunder a 62-53 lead at the break. The exchange certainly riled up the Clippers.

The Thunder couldnt get a sustained run together while turning the ball over against a team they swept in three games last season. After his ejection, Barnes used a derogatory term in a profane tweet that began "I love my teammates like family," but went on to seemingly suggest he was tired of backing them up because his actions "cost me money." The Thunder led by 14 points in the first half before the Clippers closed to 62-53 at the break. Durant, Ibaka and Westbrook all reached double figures in the half, when the Clippers were all in single digits. Ibaka had 13 points on perfect shooting before his ejection. He hit all six of his shots from the field and was 1 of 1 from the line. Barnes was scoreless in just under 8 minutes.
