WC 2014 Netherlands v. Costa Rica

[double d]

I am really enjoying this game. Fully expecting Costa Rica to punish Holland for their bad finishing. And seriously.... how many offsides!

oxf*rd robben and all his bullshit, and oxf*rd the ref for listening/falling for his shit. in no universe is that a handball

[Royal Rother]

Good game but I am getting sick of the obvious bias in this tournament against the smaller nations.

And I'm also getting sick of Danny Murphy's stupidity.

[Royal Ginger]

If they can draw it out to penalties i fancy Costa Rica. The set they put away against Greece were world class.

[Whatevs]

DMurphy is also getting on my tits

Really don't want Costa Rica to go through

[brighton_royal]

Holland have been playing some great football and Robben continues to be one of the outstanding players of the World Cup. Will be better for future games if Holland win but anything could happen.

Agree with him that the substitution of Campbell was poor though, he was linking up what little they showed and Urenya (sp?) hasn't done an awful lot.

I really want a moment of magic from Ruiz or Bolenos. Netherlands have done enough that you couldn't say it'd be unfair if they won though. Just not quite finished well enough and met a 'keeper on fire.

[brighton_royal]

It would be massively unfair if Costa Rica won though.

[WoodleyRoyal]

lol tim krul warming up

[Ian Royal]

Ungh, so close to that magic.

[Ian Royal]

It would be massively unfair if Costa Rica won though.

Dunno, they've played superbly to keep out the Dutch. Yes they've not shown much going forward and their game plan has been defensive, but if they take a chance and keep a clean sheet then they've played to perfection. If they win on penalties, then they'll deserve it too.

And they're really going for it now.


oxf*rd me this is amazeballs.

Watching a team park the bus for 120 minutes makes me want them not to win tbf.

[wingnut]

Only caught extra time and it's been gr8 to watch.

+1 Agreed

[wingnut]

Quite a vote of confidence in your keeper there

+1 Agreed

Kes doesn't seem to mind...

[Ian Royal]

Don't think this one is going to be 0-0 come FT.

moaning bastards, this has been fantastic.

[Whore Jackie]

Last 15 minutes was good at least. Really hope Krul is dreadful at penalties.

[wingnut]

Come on Costa Rica, you can do it

[tulip]

Come on Costa Rica, you can do it

I think they probably will.
