Today Costa Rica, my homeland, beat Greece in Shootout on the World Cup Brazil 2014, and advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in its history.

Since we are really far from home, we decided to get together to celebrate in the streets of Toronto!

These are some photos of this special moment

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL TICOS!!!
