Netherlands vs Costa Rica

Smart from Van Gaal tbh, what's the odds that Krul has been practicing saving penalties all week in training, also he has a massive reach since he is like 6 foot 5. He dived the right way for every penalty, saved 2, narrowly missed the rest which were good pens.
so harsh on costa rica :frown:

Guy can't even beat Chelsea without paying the ref or facing 10men and even then he still ain't beat us in 120mins of play.

Not sure about that really, they really rode their luck at times in the game, you can't say Netherlands didn't deserve to go through on the basis of play, they created far more and looked far more likely to score. Costa Rica defended well and Navas had a great game, but they were somewhat fortunate to even make extra time, let alone penalties.
Costa Rica have come up against Rooney, Suarez, Cavani, Balotelli, Robben, RVP & Huntelaar & conceded just one goal. Wow.

LVG is a tactical genius after winning on pens against the lowest ranked team in the competition? What about the flawless Dutch penalties... :rolleyes:

If he'd flung Klaas-Jan Huntelaar on earlier Holland would have won before penalties in all honesty

Definitely going to be sign by a decent club this summer. He has only conceded a penalty to Uruguay when Cavani scored, which means he has 486 minutes not included penalty shootouts without conceding. That is just :coma:

I want Argentina to knock out Netherlands and Brazil to knock out Germany yet the latter probably won't happen.


brazil v argentina final dayumn.
Wow Robben played soooo fairly and there was no diving AT ALL during this game! Costa Rice totally didn't get screwed over by the refs this match!

Not.:grr:

Costa Rica conceded a goal to Greece just before the end of 90 minutes to bring it to extra time remember He has conceded 2 in 5 games everyone seems to have forgot that.

Costa Rica should have had a penalty so really they should have won.

More down to Ozil leaving and Bale coming in. Class A eggs, class A omelettes, class B eggs, class B omelettes. Ozil is a class B egg while Bale is a class A egg.

Can see what you mean, who can expect Mourinho to get past the SFs in 3 attempt with just Ronaldo, Di Maria, Alonso, Modric, Ozil, Benzema, Higuain, Khedira as his attacking option?

If Mourinho had Bale and not Ozil(who he never felt the urge to drop incidentally despite him being the barrier to success) , then he's have been a success at Real...:rolleyes:

That's how Real operate, there was nothing wrong with Robben or Sneijder when they were dumped either, they just run a Galaticos circus. One of these days Di Maria or Benzema will find themselves transfer listed too.
