Costa Rica Quake

A magnitude 6.0 quake struck southern Costa Rica on Friday, close to the border with Panama, the US Geological Survey said.

Roy Hodgson's England were pitted against Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica in Group D, which the English press have labeled the "Group of Death".

A strong 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck Costa Rica on Tuesday, US seismologists said, but there was no threat of a destructive widespread tsunami, and no immediate reports of victims or damage.

Costa Rica suffered remarkably little damage from Wednesday's magnitude-7.6 quake - a few blocked highways, some collapsed houses and one death, of a heart attack caused by fright. Officials credited the relatively deep location of the quake and building codes that Costa Rican officials call as strict as those in California and Japan.

A powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake rocked Costa Rica on Wednesday, rattling buildings and cutting power in some areas of the capital.
