Hahah oh god. Dirk Kuyt jumped to celebrate with Krul at the end and had a massive erection.

 

[RandyBobandy]

I'm really glad that in the end football won, rather than anti-football. I was worried this was going to end up being a Euro 2004 thing.

Same. Was scared for a second there though

 

[Maninthemirror]

Its unfortunate for ARG

Like Argentina showed today, when a team does not park the bus, Argentina turns up the heat . Netherlands will lose to Argentina

 

[Don't Laugh]

 

[Kikujiro]

Costa Rica nearly pulled a Greece.

GG to both of the teams, obviously Netherlands deserved to win.

 

[Rad-]

 

[Karkador]

Fuck that noise. First, he didn't dive for that penalty kick, and second, dude's been one of the most exciting players in this World Cup. Damn near everytime he touches the ball he's been a threat.

Because the dude is a constant flop-hazard

 

[Goldmund]

Calling it now Holland Germany final.

I'm calling Brazil-Argentina.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I hope the final is either Brazil vs Argentina or Germany vs Holland.

Only a rivalry will do

Argentina vs Germany confirmed.

 

[Merino]

lol deserve? gtfo

As I tried to say, Costa Rica had a chance to win the game. They just decided to go to the casino instead. Unfortunately they didnt realize the slots were rigged.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

NL needs a good team to play well. They got CRC.

 

[GoxRx]

Congrats Netherlands!!

 

[dakun]

I really want to see Argentina vs Brazil, just because the stadium atmosphere would be incredible and it would probably burn to the ground after the match.

yeah before last night i was rooting for that too.. but without Neymar.. i don't know it's not the same.. it's almost like a dead Ronaldo against France in 98

I'm really glad that in the end football won, rather than anti-football. I was worried this was going to end up being a Euro 2004 thing.

Edit:
Also, holy shit how did they not sub Van Persie like in halftime? Did he do anything right all match other than the PK?

He played great defense for Costa Rica blocking Robben's shot late in the game.

 

[nny]

krul caught 2, but picked the right side for all 5 penalties. Impressive.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Oh, before I forget:
Knock it the fuck off with the inter-confederation bullshit, it's more than a little obnoxious.

Why? How is it different than rooting for a team?

 

[CMojicaAce]

CONCACAF's hopes now lie with Argentina.

Netherlands deserved the win.

 

[John Dunbar]

Ia this a joke? NED dominated this game.

and yet all it resulted in were easy shots at navas.

 

[gutter_trash]

crossbars, posts, 1 inch woofs, Navas stopping shots. The Dutch got unlucky in getting it in. Netherlands deserved this win in the end.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Guess I'm rooting for Germany now.

*sigh*

Don't do that, there's always....uhmm....well anything but Germany

 

[Always-honest]

Hahah oh god. Dirk Kuyt jumped to celebrate with Krul at the end and had a massive erection.

Nah, that's just a Dutch flacid.

 

[Fireblend]

Netherlands, you better fucking take the cup now. If you made it against Costa Rica's great wall, nothing should get in your way now

 

[artist]

Like Argentina showed today, when a team does not park the bus, Argentina turns up the heat . Netherlands will lose to Argentina

I guess we will see, wont we?

 

[MPW]

germany vs netherlands final is my prediction

 

[Soi-Fong]

Damn Man U is getting a better manager in Van Gaal.

If they subbed Van Persie they could not have subbed in Krul

 

[Zoned]

In the end, there were no surprise appearances in the semifinals , Brazil- Germany , Argentina- Netherlands.

Spain knockoff was a shocker though.

 

[Novak]

This. I liked CRC until this game. Now i hope they dont qualify to next WC.
Such anti-football has no place at WC

 

[Nesotenso]

Costa Rica did themselves proud. Van Gaal making the right decisions.

 

[walkman121]

Van gaal is a tactical genius

 

[plantedunicorn]

Lol Van Nisteelroy jumped out of his seat.

 

[dubc35]

A good run by CONCAGAF!

 

[jonno394]

CONCACAF's hopes now lie with Argentina.

erm...

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Football on tonight. Goodbye shitty teams.

 

[Acorn]

Holland V Germany. BOOK IT

All the sending offs

 

[carpediemdp]

Congrats NED, now you roll over OverratedGINA.

This is the only reason I had for rooting for NED.

 

[Star Falcon]

CONCACAF's hopes now lie with Argentina.

Argentina is in South America.

 

[Mobius 1]

CONCACAF's hopes now lie with Argentina.

Wat

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I don't know what to do now. I hate both Argentina and the Netherlands. Who do I want to lose more?

 

[Mister0079]

this all-out defense tactic used by weaker teams is not viable, these teams have always lost out in the end. sure they survive a bit longer but that just adds more to their heartbreak. they don't have good enough forwards to capitalize on the counter attacks.

 

[The Cowboy]

Navas MOTM, well deserved.

 

[Gormless Noodle]

Run little sloth, RUN.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Why? How is it different than rooting for a team?

I AGREE

SEC SEC SEC SEC

 

[CaseyTappy]

I can't believe Van Gaal's tactic worked. It just seemed like the craziest thing to sub your keeper before PKs

Why, it makes sense if another keeper is much better at penalty's to put him in .

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Spain knockoff was a shocker though.

Yeah. Biggest surprise of the cup next to Costa Rica making it to the QF.

 

[Despera]

If the Netherlands didn't win I would have probably stopped watching the rest of the matches.

 

[Arjen]

Krul needs a statue. Fuckiiiiing booosssss

 

[inky]

Oh, before I forget:
Knock it the fuck off with the inter-confederation bullshit, it's more than a little obnoxious.

LOL Why?

Let people cheer for whatever the fuck they want.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

We did what we could, we knew we were outclassed. We lost, Netherlands deserved the win.

I'm happy we got that far, even if it angered, bored, or annoyed some people.

 

[jstripes]

What an exhausting game. x_x
