Celso Borges is dreaming of emulating his father's achievements as Costa Rica quietly sets its sights on a second qualification for the World Cup knockout rounds.
Back in 1990 in its first World Cup participation, the Ticos stunned everyone by qualifying from a group that included Brazil.
And playing a crucial role in that surprising success was Alexandre Borges, whose pass set up teammate Hernan Medford for the goal two minutes from time that gave it a 2-1 victory over Sweden and secured its place in the last 16.
