Costa Rican national soccer star Raquel RodrÃguez helped New Jersey's Sky Blue FC win 2-1 over the Seattle Reign in her National Women's Soccer League debut Sunday.
"I tried to behave like a boy on the field: I had to bump into them and knew that the boys I played against would not feel pity towards me." Gloriana Villobos talks to The Tico Times about her rise to Costa Rican soccer stardom.
Costa Rica was close, they tried hard, but their efforts fell short as a late goal by Brazil’s Raquel Fernandes just seven minutes to the end stopped short the Women's National Team’s dream of advancing to the round of 16 on its first participation in a FIFA World Cup.
