FIFA World Cup 2014 - Quarter-finals [4th - 5th July] **spoilers**

[Cosimo]

Well played Costa Rica.

 

[TurnipHead]

Krul to get golden glove.

 

[syke]

Shouldn't have let Krul keep going up to the takers, but fair enough - good decision in the end by van Gaal.

 

[RedvGreen]

Seriously what the heck was that crap from Krul before the first 4 Costa Rican Penalties?

 

[Robbo]

Genius.

Great effort Costa Rica though.

 

[Verponian]

I really feel sorry for Cillessen. He goes up to celebrate and all the players are ignoring him to congratulate Krull. He kept the ball out for 120 minutes, you ingrates!

 

[Guerrilla]

Cruel end for Costa Rica, they managed to take it to penalties though.

Think Holland are the more likely to have a shot at winning it.

 

[manic111]

Krul was shouting vamos during some of those Costa Rican pens. I wonder if they chose him as he speaks Spanish and can get in their heads?

 

[Sgt_Pepper]

Genius my ****.

 

[syke]

Seriously what the heck was that crap from Krul before the first 4 Costa Rican Penalties?

Ref should've warned him after the first one, booked any of the next - same as any fouls/unsportsmanlike conduct imo.

 

[fez]

**** sake. Can't see Netherlands getting passed Argentina though.

Really? Argentina have been poor in every game so far. They beat a pretty dire Belgium side earlier by a single goal with a goal from nowhere. Holland could have score 4-5 this game as well.

 

[the1gooner]

Right team have gone through but wow what excitement that game was.

Costa Rica deserve all the praise that they will get.

 

[Finners]

Looking forward to his interview for why he did it.

 

[Sgt_Pepper]

Could have doesn't win you games tho.

 

[Finners]

Seeing those street celebrations make me sad that England did so badly.

 

[manic111]

Lol, Lineker..."I presume that's his child"!!

 

[Robert]

I've seen lots of keepers play mind games, I've not got a problem with that. Also, that GK substitution was quite obviously pre-meditated.

 

[manic111]

RvP called his kid Shaquille? Oh dear.

 

[Azza]

Really? Argentina have been poor in every game so far. They beat a pretty dire Belgium side earlier by a single goal with a goal from nowhere. Holland could have score 4-5 this game as well.

And Holland had to beat Mexico by cheating and Costa Rica on penalties.

 

[McBain]

lol @ the pundits etc saying it was a managerial master class, hardly.

If Kruul is a better penalty stopper, it's hardly genius to put a better player in his place, it's simple common sense.
