World Cup 2014

Holland v Costa Coffee going to be a cracker.

Not much to say. Dutch look the more likely.

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 !

Mate, it is 500-1 shots Costa Rica. No matter the tactics what they have done is incredible.

I was thinking that aswell... bit dodgy of him to keep going up to the players and just be a git ..Bad sportsmanship for sure but it seems to have worked(although I think the regular goalie would have definently saved the first missed one from costa rica) ...

read on the internets today that when a penalty in a shootout is one that would end the shootout in victory then they are scored 92%(or somewhere around there) of the time, the average penalty scoring rate is around 75%.. When the penalty is one that would result in the team losing the shootout(like the last costa rican one today) they are only scored about 35% of the time.. I thought that was fairly interesting.. 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
