Well Done Costa. Superb effort.

Now lets make Van Gaal look like a Dutch Dick

I hope this GK sub change blows up in LVG's fat smelly face.

Unbelievable. Crazy. LVG really fucked up bringing on huntelaar so late and bringing on lens(waste of a sub). Then bringing on a new keeper for penalties.

If this sub pays off, LVG will be hailed as the greatest of all managers.

Will these idiots stop saying it's insulting etc, it just a tactical move.

LVG getting his plums out for the whole world to see this time.

Very good point made by Rio there actually about gk's not normally being under pressure in pens, but due to this change, all the focus WILL be on Krul. I'm impressed.

Smart move then if that's the case.

To be honest this is pretty smart by Van Gaal. Costa Rica would have most likely focused penalty training on Cillessen, now all of that goes out the window.

Would be slightly ironic if 5 got smacked past Krul though.

This world cup has brought the best finishes to the matches

Nearly all of them have finished with two teams just turning in to sunday league teams and defending like their life depends on it

Very good point by Rio, Krul's got to save at least one now.

There is of course the reverse psychology where the Costa penalty takers are now facing what they think is a Penalty specialist.

The pressure isn't on Krul..its on LVG...he's the one who's made the call.
