:awyeah:

lol, didn't know about that, would be too funny if it happens again but I doubt it. With the exception of Croatia in 1998 every other team eliminated lost against a title contender.

If it happens then it will make the competition "interesting" again :D
I'm not saying if Netherlands win, the world cup will be boring ... but so far this world cup became a boring competition since it entered the quarter final :D

I'm predicting a very dull boring match..

Depay is starting! Van Gaal is using a 3-4-3 with Depay and Robben behind Van Persie.

The Dutch should trample CR but how amusing would it be see a small Central American country with relatively unknown players in the Semi-Finals of the World Cup? FIFA would be pissed.

If Costa Rica wins this game I say let's get their coach. They are very organized, don't depend on individual qualities, play as team and no player really stands out. They were underdogs in this tournament and look at them now! About to qualify for the semi finals!

Although, their coach's CV is not impressive at all..

Obviously I prefer Van Gaal but ManU would disagree..

If Costa Rica win this game I think they can beat Argentina.

But so far they are not creating that many chances against Netherlands.

Netherlands hasn't lost against a team of Concacaf since 1961 against Mexico in Amsterdan.

Looks like they are not going to lose now either.

I think it is going to go penalties and then Netherlands wins.

Such a dive by Robben!!!

He is pissing me off!

Oh shit!! What a shot by Sneijder!!

If he had scored it, it would've nit been fair at all.

I celebrated the 4th with a bang.... you dudes really need to get a gf. Nothing gets you less angry about being robbed then a BJ.

He isn't well liked in Colombia he coached us in 2006. We lost 5-0 to Paraguay, then 4-2 to Argentina..... guy will never get a job with our NT again.

As for him coaching Inter or Italy. Guy is a total A-hole. He only works in small teams with 0 stars that won't say anything to him. He got into shit with Ivan Cordoba because he thought he was lazy and didn't train hard enough. He said well we just won the title with Inter and never train 2x a day. Every player on the Colombian NT that had him as a coach hates him, most players that have had him as a club coach dislike him as well. Media and management are big fans of him

Would be cool to see him coach in Italy or Spain but it would be a Genoa or Chievo at best. Dude is ultra conservative.

As for this game the post doesn't want Holland to win.
