Is no one watching Netherlands v Costa Rica?

[Thunder Bolt]

Krul is good at saving pens. When our youth played Newcastle in 2006, he saved 3 of them.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I'd be so pissed off, is Krul even good at penalties?

 

[Billy the Fish]

what's the point if you don't score?

They've hit the woodwork 3 times and had about 15 shots on target, it's not like they've not deserved it, it's just been one of those wierd games and Costa Rica have ridden their luck.

 

[Razzoo]

Hope that subbing comes back to haunt Van Gaal

 

[Hyperion]

It's either ridiculous or genius. Either way, it is very very strange

Saved 2 in 20 at Newcastle !

come on Costa Rica

 

[Spider]

Can't decide who I want to win now. Always favour the underdog, but I would also like the team with the best chance of beating the Argies to go through.

What the hell, come on Costa Rica!

 

[big nuts]

Tim Krul coming on for the penalties! Wow. I've never seen a sub like it!

Leicester done it once in a play-off final. It worked as after he came on they scored from a set piece in injury time and won the game. Possibly the opposition lost concentration due to the sub.

From memory it was an Aussie keeper coming on for Kevin Poole in the mid nineties.

 

[Puppet Master]

Krul on, this is crazy

 

[catfish]

Sensational extra time - and as for that substitution I just can't believe it.

 

[1066familyman]

That's a CRUEL substitution by the Dutch.

Really hope it backfires and Costa Rica put them out on pens here.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Mabye Krul has been studying all the penalty data in preparation and the other keeper hasn't to keep his mind clear?

 

[Stuart Munday]

I think Costa Rica are going to do it

 

[JOLovegrove]

What a game.

 

[MuppetMaestro]

Still not good enough is it?

Netherland's to lose now, although don't feel the subbing of Cillessen is that weird, why not put a fresh keeper on? Although not as if he's had a busy evening.

 

[TomandJerry]

1-1

 

[Hyperion]

Got a feeling the Dutch are going to bottle it

 

[TomandJerry]

1-2
