    Feel so sorry for Costa Rica. They did themselves and their country proud though.

    Why was Krul allowed to walk up to the pen takers?

    Why shouldn't he? Shootouts are 50% psychological. Whatever you can to to tilt it in your favour.

    Anyone who makes a joke about how "Krul" the loss is deserves a punt in the bollocks

    The longer the Dutch are in this tournament, the happier Koeman is, and the shorter time Man U have to adapt to Van Gaal's methods.

    Deserved winners I think. Costa Rica had a wonderful tournament but I'm happy that Holland are through, as they are a super side. Masterstroke from Van Gaal in the end bringing on Krul. It may be controversial, but I would want my keeper to do what Krul did. Put the opponents off, and pile the pressure on them. Its part of the game, and a good game it was.

    Fancy the two European teams for the final.

    I want a Argentina-Brazil final in the Maracana. Would be mental.

    If not, Germany-Holland please.

    I think it might be Germany-Argentina. I think the Germans have enough organisation about them to see off the Brazilians, and the Argentinians have enough flair to see off the Dutch.

    I'm not firm on this opinion though. :)

    Without Thiago Silva and Neymar, Brazil will have trouble with the Germans.

    I am going to contradict myself. I said I wanted more European sides through, but, although Holland were by far the better side, I felt for Costa Rica. The ref lost control of the shoot out and allowed the Dutch GK to intimidate the Costa Rica players. What was he thinking of? All goalies try a bit of psychology, but he went beyond that and all the ref did was wave him away afterwards and not be firm with him.
