Changing keeper for the penalties!
Never seen it before. Imagine the praise for Van Gaal if this comes off.
lots of pressure to put on tim krul though... I hope it doesnt work out and costa rica pull it off !
Penalties Krul is a cunt
The Dutch deserved that they were playing to win and were unlucky a few times were as Costa Rica plays Italian type style defense minded lets keep it nil nil shit lookin football
Mate, it is 500-1 shots Costa Rica. No matter the tactics what they have done is incredible.Quote:

This is just a statistic from world cup penalties though
Sneijder also seems to really up his game every world cup.. He certainly has his moments at club level but when it gets to the world cup(only 2 to be fair) he just seems to be on the best form he has... Robben is also maintaining his great form too... The dutch would be deserving winners for sure.. Infact I dont mind who wins it now :S
Brazil.... Germany.... Argentina.... Netherlands.
A "Who's Who" of powerhouses.
Without Neymar, I don't fancy Brazil's chances much against Germany.
The Argentina-Netherlands semifinal is much harder to predict.
I'd like Brazil to win, but I'd also like to see at least one South American team in the final.
I got a feeling it will be an all European final. :cool:Quote:

Yeah Brazil aren't up to the task and Argentina will leak goals at the hands of Robben and co.Quote:
