I can't imagine this match is fun for the neutral viewer.

 

[John Dunbar]

This is the team that slayed the giants? I've seen San Marino try harder.

they didn't slay giants with suicide attacks.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Ugh I hate parking the bus with all my heart.

Welcome to 3 of Argentina's 5 matches. Apparently we're awful though for not being able to score more goals on that tactic, even though we won all of them.

Also, sorry guys, but Iran still did it best. They're the model for it.

 

[m0t0k1]

Why? On earth shirt pulling on header and pushing in the penalty box is ignored?

I did miss the shirt pulling since i only started watching during the second half, but that pushing was definitely a penalty.

 

[Wind's Howling]

It's a smart move. NED is a counter attack team. If they have nothing to counter they've totally fallen apart.

Totally fallen apart? If it were not for Costa Rican luck we would have scored 2/3-0.

 

[nny]

CRC won the coin toss; It's a sign!

 

[Dion Blaster]

At this point I'm rooting for CR just to kick Robben out of the tournament. He has no shame.

 

[Envelope]

well i lost my bet, so now i really want costa rica to win. so of course they will fold right away.

Quick make a new bet!

 

[zroid]

This game, man. What the hell more could Netherlands possibly do to score?!

dive more

Spoiler

 

[Tecl0n]

Costa Rica playing for PK shoutout from the very first minute. What an embarrassing display.

Cmon man they can't go toe to toe with a better team, this is the correct course of action.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

and Spain.

And Cameroon

 

[hemo memo]

Why not implement similar technology for offside too?

 

[MrS]

and Spain.

At least Spain won a match!

 

[JLG-]

Get ready for some epic time wasting

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This is the Costa Rica people were losing their shit over? What have they done besides scramble on defense for 90 minutes.

What an embarrassment.

WTFJESUSSPONGBOBANDGHANDI.

That's the one. Lovely.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Cmon man they can't go toe to toe with a better team, this is the correct course of action.

Chili tried and almost won.

Costa Rica has 0 shots on goal. ZERO

 

[MMaRsu]

He's just not dutch and hence not blinded with bias.

Lol are you kidding me refs are obviously poop.

If you cant see that ur blind.

[Cosmozone]

Lol, she wants to look at thevcamera and see herself at the same time.

 

[plantedunicorn]

I don't think RVP has played that bad he's just been ok. He's been a little wasteful and unlucky but maybe it's time to bring on Huntelaar to see if he can do what Lukaku did for Belgium.

 

[SargerusBR]

30 mins of turtling. PK's please

 

[pulsemyne]

I wonder if the dutch will be tempt to swap keepers if it gets close to Penalties. Vorm was known as the penalty killer. He is good at saving penalties.

 

[Carn82]

I can see us loosing on penalties

 

[QuicheFontaine]

At least Spain won a match!

Oh yeah? Well England...

England...

...

 

[D4Danger]

Expecting a goal in the first 2 minutes

 

[Major Gripex]

WTFJESUSSPONGBOBANDGHANDI.

God, the look on his face was even "it made it in, didn't it?"

 

[KingSnake]

You're clearly on a different planet mate. Hope you'll make it back to mother earth some day to watch the replay.

I understand this is difficult for you and I'm not that involved in this game, so I'll stop now. You'll see the replays in the next days and decide for yourself.

 

[Ulumsk]

I can't imagine this match is fun for the neutral viewer.

Nope, but reading all the insane bullshit in this thread makes up for it.

 

[ronito]

Totally fallen apart? If it were not for Costa Rican luck we would have scored 2/3-0.

NED should have wiped the floor with Costa Rica by all accounts. And yet, here we are.

 

[Noema]

Its the Mexican Curse, no team that eliminates them is able to go through the quarter finals

La verganza de Moctezuma.

 

[The perfect Dark]

120 minutes incoming

I'm god

 

[XenoRaven]

I can't imagine this match is fun for the neutral viewer.

I'm enjoying it but I live in a country that only cares about this sport once every four years.

 

[cilonen]

A defender blocked it with his thigh.

Yeah, just seen that on a replay. Still brilliant

 

[DJ--UK]

Just chiming in. Holland got a penalty forgiven and Robbin is already diving near the goalie. Fuck this noise. Ref should red card his ass.

Post of the thread right here

 

[Santiako]

Just read that DiMaria misses the rest of the WC! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Clydefrog]

i wish they would call illegal throw-ins

 

[neorej]

Costa Rica is aware that this is the WC Football right?

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Score NL if this goes to pens you're done

 

[dallow_bg]

Fight for the PK Costa Rica.

Park the strongest, tallest, most beautiful bus you can. I believe in you. Slay the dragon. Destroy the dreams. Make the ghosts of CONCACAF proud.

Heh.

 

[Envelope]

These matches are always enjoyable due to schadenfreude

 

[DukeBobby]

This is the Costa Rica people were losing their shit over? What have they done besides scramble on defense for 90 minutes.

What an embarrassment.

Well, the strategy is working so far.

I can't see it working for another 30 minutes, though.

 

[Dr.Acula]

At this point I'm rooting for CR just to kick Robben out of the tournament. He has no shame.

Salt! Amidoingitrite?

I'd rather CR score than advance on penalties.

Imagine if CR knock off Argentina? Barf.

 

[The Last Emperor]

Offside lmao

 

[plantedunicorn]

Ha more offsides

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Yeah, it'd be way better if we had gone blindly on the offensive. We would've lost by now. Yay!

This is as frustrating for pro-NED fans as it is for us. Zero shots on goal is pretty bad obviously, but then again it's The Netherlands we're uo against.

By lots of goals.

 

[TheOddOne]

 

[Raist]

That line ref is really shit.

 

[zroid]

for once, they actually WERE onside

ref'd

 

[WonkyPanda]

lol ESPN:

"ET1 ends at 105; ET2 ends at 120"

Math lessons ftw.
