[Sakkreth]

So far Costa Rica is lucky to not be behind like 3-0 in first 30minutes.

[Booz Vivic]

Boring match. No team looking like they can win it. Costa Rica could've had a penalty.

[brownmamba00]

good game so far

[Nick Young]

CONCACAF got this. 3 American teams in the semifinals:bowdown:

[Andrew Wiggins]

So far Costa Rica is lucky to not be behind like 3-0 in first 30minutes.

lolwut

there hasn't been a single clear chance

[Godzuki]

So far Costa Rica is lucky to not be behind like 3-0 in first 30minutes.


Costa Rica is doing a lot better than i thought they'd do. To me this game is close even if Costa Rica hasn't had much goal opportunities. they were controlling mid for awhile there.

Go Costa Rica :bowdown:

oh and if he hhit that bicycyle it'd have been sick

[KingBeasley08]

We are all American.

One Continent. One people.

Let's win this Americans

:oldlol:

[Godzuki]

that should've been a PK

[zoom17]

that should've been a PK

right he shoved him.

[b1imtf]

Martins-Indi reminds me of Slenderman.

[1987_Lakers]

These English commentators on ESPN are so boring, Mexican commentators are much more enthusiastic/into the game, it makes the game funner to watch.

[brownmamba00]

campbell being subbed?:biggums:

[Booz Vivic]

its true that america is in fact only one contenant

[pezt]

Most boring match of the WC

[pinhead]

How can you be enthusiastic watching this shit? This world cup has become truly awful. Depressingly dull.

[MavsSuperFan]

To my uneducated eyes Robben seems like the best player of this world cup.
That van persie guy seems useless

[zoom17]

Most boring match of the WC

Just because a game is scoreless its boring?

[b1imtf]

Navas GOATing.

[pinhead]

Just because a game is scoreless its boring?

No, but this is boring. Not NFL boring but boring nonetheless.

[b1imtf]

Holy fuuuuuck.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Oh shit. :eek:

[alenleomessi]

i went to the fridge about 20 times and consumed like 2500 calories during the match.. i understand why americans are so fat now.. you gotta do something during those long and boring nfl and mlb games

[zoom17]

hang in there Costa Rica.

[pezt]

Just because a game is scoreless its boring?

No, because literally nothing was happening except the last couple of minutes.

[Godzuki]

Costa Rica just needs to hang on until PK's

[b1imtf]

RvP shitting the bed there. C'mon man, I don't root for you many times.

[MavsSuperFan]

Is Robben considered a world class player?
What would his nba equivalent be (in terms of talent level in their sport)

Is van persie considered a scrub?

[brownmamba00]

Most boring match of the WC
japan-greece has that title locked up

[JimmyMcAdocious]

van Persie is the suck.

[brownmamba00]

Is Robben considered a world class player?

prime ginobili :lol

[alenleomessi]

RvP shitting the bed there. C'mon man, I don't root for you many times.
why the f*ck would you root for NL?

[Godzuki]

netherlands should just give it to that 11 guy, he seems unstoppable.

[qrich]

That dive

[MavsSuperFan]

prime ginobili :lol
So he is a good but, not great player who succeeds in the clutch?

[Godzuki]

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[JimmyMcAdocious]

lol that sequence.

[ace23]

The fck

[zoom17]

wow

[b1imtf]

Jesus. :roll:

[1987_Lakers]

Costa Rica won't die.:oldlol:

[Sakkreth]

That last episode defines this game :D

[Nick Young]

Dutch seriously living up to their history of chokery. Maybe they are cursed.

[qrich]

:oldlol:

Absolutely pathetic

[b1imtf]

Refs are still awful though...

[fsvr54]

Soccer teams are pathetic

[b1imtf]

Dutch seriously living up to their history of chokery. Maybe they are cursed.

This is some next level shit. :biggums:

[zoom17]

Number 11 is everywhere in this game.

[Sakkreth]

Refs are still awful though...

There was no offside on last possession yes, but refs wasn't that bad in this game, there's been much worse in this tournament.

[brownmamba00]

So he is a good but, not great player who succeeds in the clutch?
never been the best at his position but damn good with some trophies under his belt:confusedshrug:

he choked in the last WC finals tho

[pezt]

So he is a good but, not great player who succeeds in the clutch?


In his best form he is one of the best 5-7 players in the world imo. He was held back by many injuries during his younger years but he managed to stay healthy for a longer period of time now and has been superb this year.

[brownmamba00]

grande wes :bowdown:

[hookul]

Is Robben considered a world class player?
What would his nba equivalent be (in terms of talent level in their sport)

Is van persie considered a scrub?


yes and no... Both players are considered world class. Not top 5 overall but for their given position I think it is fair to say that they are top 10 in the whole world.

[Godzuki]

There was no offside on last possession yes, but refs wasn't that bad in this game, there's been much worse in this tournament.


yeah the spain ref in the Brazil game was horrible


only call i seen missed this one is that off sides, and even then Costa Rica has been on point pulling netherlands forwards offsides.

[b1imtf]

There was no offside on last possession yes, but refs wasn't that bad in this game, there's been much worse in this tournament.
I know there's been worse, but in this game there have been bad decisions. Both ways I might add.

[qrich]

Why do we got the best keepers?

[Sakkreth]

Robben overall is 5-10th player. But this tournament he's been as good as anyone.

[qrich]

On the other end, that is a spot kick, no questions asked.

[alenleomessi]

that gonzales guy on costa rica has been class this tournament

[Booz Vivic]

do costa rica boss all games in concacaf?

[Booz Vivic]

that gonzales guy on costa rica has been class this tournament

first time i ****ing aggree with you. hes been rock solid (just like the whole cosarica defence and navas)

[alenleomessi]

striker for defender, van gaal scared of navas :pimp:

[alenleomessi]

oh shitt f*cking krul

[Booz Vivic]

Costa Rica's offside trap is sick.

[Sakkreth]

1st corner by CR :bowdown:

[Sakkreth]

1st shot on goal by CR :bowdown:

[alenleomessi]

lol crazy ending again

[Sakkreth]

Damn Sneijder again lol.

[dannywpt]

Holy shit this game :roll:

[Godzuki]

Goddamn so much action :pimp:

[hookul]

What a game!

[Sakkreth]

Gosh, this Costa Rica team has already won no matter which results will be.

Lottery that is.

[Nick Young]

Van Gaal setting himself up to become a pariah in Holland.

[Booz Vivic]

shit!!!!

Gotta go for Costa Rica. Lovely story!!!

[Sakkreth]

shit!!!!

Gotta go for Costa Rica. Lovely story!!!

Nah if they win it's pathetic, I barely seen Netherlands gk in this game.

[Booz Vivic]

Robin van Persie's position this match: Offside

[Sakkreth]

Did Dutch actually train Krul just for the shootout?

He's just more suited for penalties.

[MavsSuperFan]

dutch deserve this, but CR seems like the cinderella story

[Sakkreth]

Master class from netherlands so far.

[Sakkreth]

Huntelaar and who else is left, hmm Kuyt ?

[Sakkreth]

Justice. :applause:

[Godzuki]

:( :cry: :sleeping

[alenleomessi]

that was f*cking krul

[LoPro4u2c]

So so Krue.

[kc16]

Van Gaal gets a bunch of credit, great decision to bring in Krul.

[TheMan]

Krul is fvcking huge and intimidating. He was trash talking the Costa Rica PKers :oldlol: Every Dutch player struck their PK beautifully, nothing the goal keeper could do about it.

[Sakkreth]

Exactly, that was master class. Even Krul wouldn't have had chances on any of those. But yes Krul was amaing.

[Nowitness]

Costa Rica sure did play amazing defense all game, have to give credit to them handling RVP, Rpbben and Sneijder all game.

I'm still bitter it wasn't Greece playing tonight though.

[Jasi]

Van Gaal :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Andrei89]

My thoughts on this game and why Costa Rica is the biggest piece of shit team in the World Cup so far

- They started defending with 9 men from minute 1
- Obviously they wanted to go to penalties like a bunch of sad losers
- Costa Rica is sure not better than Mexico or the US they are just a bunch of homos playing horrible anti-football
- Netherlands had 3 huge chances which were called offside although the players were ONSIDE
- Netherlands was dominating
- Netherlands hit the post once and the crossbar twice
- Costa Rica at some point start faking injuries and shit so they can pull time and go to penalties ( I have not seen such disgusting behavior in a long time)
- van Gaal is a genius. It was not because Krul is better at penalties, but because van Gaal realized Costa Rica's plan all along was to go to penalties so they probably studied Cilessen all along
- Dutch players took amazing penalties and Krul trash talking was fking great

To summarize, Costa Rica is a piece of shit team who did not deserve to come this far. Furthermore, they wanted penalties, and they got penalties. Karma is a bitch and justice was served.

Hup Holland!

YOu guys parked the bus from minute 1-80. what a joke of you to complain.
you have robben and Krul on your team, to confirmed shitheads

Did you have to expand your trolling to the off court lounge? Nobody would ever say NL parked the bus in those minutes.

Go back to your whore mothers basement you sad piece of shit.

what a mad mother****er:roll: :roll:

[Godzuki]

i'll give Netherlands a lot of credit for coming prepared with a shootout GK. shooutouts are notorious in World Cup and bringing a long keeper for that specifically was very smart. i wonder if other teams did that.

I've been rooting for the Orange but you sound mad as **** goddamn

Van Goaat gonna GOAT

[LJJ]

Big ups for Costa Rica. We have to consider the gulf in quality here. The second best Costa Rican player wouldn't sniff the Dutch 23 man squad. They were the huge underdogs and put up a hell of a fight. Sure it took a lot of luck for it to go to penalties, sure they dove a lot, wasted time a lot, faked injuries a lot and should have had players sent off.

But that's the license you take when you are the underdog. It's up to the ref to keep most of that in check, and this one did a really, really poor job. Costa Rica did amazing to get this close to being in the SFs.

Costa Rica is a very limited offensive team(and it showed), so they basically played the only way they could win. But I agree with you on the way they started faking injuries at the end to send it to penalties, it was disgusting.

yeah i agree.. especially in the penalty shootout where tim krul was having his way.. should have gotten a yellow immediately..that shit is unacceptable.. nothing new for a newcastle scum though

This was terribly disgusting. Then, their fans go on and cheer when the end signal comes in minute 120 like they advanced already.

Justice is served..

^ btw, to a poster above, I am not that mad. I sure was more mad during the game though, but this anti-football shit is just sad and pathetic.

Actually it is Italian style. Italians won 3 world cups with this style.

Are Italy the only national team that are allowed to play for 1-0 wins without these xenophobic and racist slurs being thrown at them?

So I assume you watched footage of pre WW2 world cups? BTW, they won 4.

[QUOTE=Gr

[Gr]

doesnt matter if I watched it or not (I didnt.)

I am right here.

Euros respect Italy for bunkering down with 10 men behind the ball all game but if Greece or Costa Rica or some other team does it, they are "disgraces to the sport."

Pure xenophobia.

You won't find many Germans who like Italy's defensive tactics. At least when they do it they do it with style.

[Gr]

That you really believe Italy won 3 world cups with such defensive tactics exposes you quite badly though.

Stick to hand egg. You're not fooling anyone.

[QUOTE=Nick Young]How is Italian bunkering any more stylish then Greek or Costa Rica bunkering? It isn't. Don't be a xenophobe, fr

It's because of all the good looking Italian men. Their beautiful, thick, often gelled, shiny black hair and dense, manly beards.
