    They showed how to take a spot kick there! Tough luck Greece but they should have made the extra man count in normal play...

    Fair play to them. They beat three former winners in the group stages and progress with ten men onto the quarter finals.

    I guess they did achieve that by equalizing late on and almost winning it at the death - I guess like a cat they only had so many lives?

    Well chuffed for Costa Rica, amazing achievement for one of footballs minnows. Keylor Navas came through with a very good save.

    But there is only one winner tonight, the Netherlands are as good as ready for the semis.

    Ho-hum. More importantly that result cancels out anyone in my dream team with Greek and Costa Rica defenders and GK's and paves the way for me to win a nice cash prize. Hopefully...........:cry:

    winning with one shot on target... sound familiar?

    Fortunately WE didn't need to endure penalties. There's the danger of having your one shot on target too early :)
