Damn the Di Maria injury is a big blow to Argentina, not as big as Neymar injury but still big. Hate when big players get injured at this stage of the tournament.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Rooney's ghost continues to haunt the games.

Gave me chills

 

[jamesinclair]

Get the fuck out Costa Rica has made way more fouls this game

That was a clear penalty gtfo

 

[Fireblend]

Can we comment the match and not the referee calls =/ he didnt call the PK, I dunno if I would have. End of discussion.

 

[ronito]

Apparently no one here knows what defines a PK in second half at 0-0 in a qtr final match. A minor butt-bump on a 50/50 play is not PK worthy.

b....b...but mexico!

 

[ashecitism]

VP is useless. He never performs at this level.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Fucking Costa Rica. START PLAYING!

 

[artist]

What should i think, gaf?

Only dutch will say no to that PK.

 

[GingerNathan]

Fucking refs. Ok so that wasn't a pen but in the next play they call a foul on Van Persie for a very similar play lol

You often get different decisions from similar fouls based on whether it's inside the box or outside.

 

[lastflowers]

sad to say it, but huntelaar needs to get in. RVP looks knackered

 

[WAR recon zero]

Hey remember that Van Persie header?

 

[KingSnake]

It's a miracle that he could continue the game after this horrible foul. He got shot in the back or something, right?

 

[dakun]

8 of 12 goals for Netherlands scored after 60 min mark... no goal conceded

 

[Road]

You mean dove

Dove and dived are both correct.

Maybe I'm missing the joke... *shrugs*

 

[Cosmozone]

What should i think, gaf?

That Gaffers are biased.

 

[Firemind]

That was a clear penalty gtfo

Okay.

Shhh You'll spoil their fun

 

[Chakan]

Someone please score.

 

[maximum360]

CR has been horrible on these free kicks

Foul count for NED is more, look ot up.

I know that, it's stupid and wrong.

 

[sabertoothzombie]

that was a good try

Ref calls are a huge part of the match, especially this match.

 

[Tubie]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

[ronito]

Netherlands, the Ticos are knocking on your door are you going to do something?

 

[TheOctodad]

It's a miracle that he could continue the game after this horrible foul. He got shot in the back or something, right?

Again, not a Netherlands fan, but it looks like he was running full speed and jumped to avoid collision. I probably woulda done the same.

 

[Fireblend]

Good call. It's not Joel's day.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Campbell out, finally.

 

[Gustav]

Okay, USA. You were right. Soccer IS boring. This WC has convinced me. 90 minutes of passing a ball around is mind dulling.

 

[KHlover]

CR has been horrible on these free kicks

Yes Cristiano Ronaldo has just wasted his free kicks
CRC also isn't doing much with them right now

 

[artist]

ORANGE bricks being shat at the moment.

 

[entremet]

Refs don't want another Neymar situation.

 

[Chakan]

Dove and dived are both correct.

Oh, ok. Thanks for clarifying this =)

 

[K' Dash]

Fucking Costa Rica. START PLAYING!

we're trying

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Put huntelaar in

 

[KillerMan91]

Costa Rica is the Greece of Americas.

 

[Ertai]

Yeah, not much fun to be had for the neutral viewer with this match

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Dove and dived are both correct.

Both are correct and can be used as both past tense and past participle of "dive". "Dove" is more popular in the US while only "dived" is used in Britain.

 

[Fergie]

RVP died after that Australia game.

 

[Boss Mog]

Props to Costa Rica, they're not parking the bus and really attacking even in this second half.

 

[KingSnake]

Again, not a Netherlands fan, but it looks like he was running full speed and jumped to avoid collision. I probably woulda done the same.

Do you throw your legs back like a horse when you jump?

 

[Tragicomedy]

Seriously, replace him with a random fit Brazilian fan and you're better off up front. Dude is a guaranteed turnover.

 

[maximum360]

Another waste

 

[Acorn]

Bring Paulo Wanchope on.

 

[Aressa]

Campbell is out! No goal for CR then :/

 

[Ganzlinger]

I won't sleep ever again.

Bring Paulo Wanchope on.

Marshall could've done it RIP

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That puttered out.

 

[dallow_bg]

Bring Paulo Wanchope on.

I wish.

Costa Rica is the Greece of Americas.
