For all we know LVG may have just had Krul solely practicing penalties in training to be a badass if needs be

Hope the England team were watching this effort from Costa Rica and feel ashamed. Hope the FA were watching and finally realise that they should ditch Hodgson.

He may have gotten it right with Krul, but LVG's tactics in general play were awful

Huge call and it paid off handsomely for the Dutch and van Gaal.

That being said, some cracking pens under enormous pressure!

Feel sorry for Costa Rica, if my missus wasn't Dutch I would have supported them

So krul's record with the barcodes is 2 in 20.....he alone put doubt into CR and won it for them

Isn't it funny how we had all written Costa Rica off before the tournament even started, saying we'd comfortably beat them. They were probably loving it tbf.

Great game, Netherlands probably deserved to win. Well done Costa Rica.

Wow, what a performance from Costa Rica and what an amazing substitution of goalkeepers by Van Gaal!
