Unreal stuff, what a story mind. I fear for them though they were getting ripped open at the end there, the Dutch are so much fitter. That Costa Rica keeper is outstanding. Absolutely superb.
Just can't see it mate. Been Googling Costa Rica mind, beautiful place, I might go in February, got me wondering, I reckon a few more folk will have done similar, could a World Cup run bring millions into a countries economy? I bet they have increased tourism numbers off the back of this run like.
I don't think even bent FIFA referees will get Brazil past Germany without Neymar & Thiago SIlva mate.
I'd definitely take half the CR team on this form. Big tourism industry as it is mate. Massively popular with the Spanish and Argentinians according to an ex of mine. Supposed to be a paradise.
Looks amazing, we usually go Caribbean or Mexico that time of year, so it's summat to consider. We were looking at Trinidad like.
I said recently Sneijder isn't the player he was. This world cup he's been one of the stand out players for me.
Not sure why they're making such a big deal about this change. Clearly a better penalty stopper. Not a big deal, sensible if anything.
wtf bringing Krul on? I've never seen that before in a match... I hear what you're saying about "why is it a big deal" but he's not an expert at them from what I've seen.
He plays a different role now, less busy, he just kind of hangs around picking passes and knocking it about, he's a fantastic player still. Less eye catching maybe, no less effective. What an amazing World Cup this is by the way. Even if Costa Rica go out on pens, they go out officially unbeaten, and given the opposition, wow. What a story.
I can't say I know anything about either of them with penalties but I can't imagine Van Gaal is too daft.
