I just got home from an outing and am really surprised. Go Ticos!
First corner of the game for Costa Rica.
And they made the most of it. :rolleyes:
End-to-end stuff now. I’m on the edge of my seat.
Great game! Another off the post!
Sneijder hits the woodwork for the second time.
Never seen subbing a GK for penalties before.
Holland bringing Tim Krul on for the penalties.
And here they come!
Go Ticos!
Wut? That’s the strangest substitution I’ve seen. Change keepers just before a penalty shootout? Brave.
Fantastic stuff!! 2nd ET was all sorts of back and forth!
Yeah, I was just about to ask why they subbed out their keeper. I guess the backup is better at penalties? Seems a bit of a slap at the starter.
I guess van Gaal thinks Krul is better at PKs. Odd that he held back a sub for that contingency!
Odd. The announcers said he gave up every penalty last season.
I guess the results will determine if it’s a great strategy 
Oh dear. Will Robben step up for a kick?
Well Krul saved one…
Dammit.
Well, looks like van Gaal was vindicated with the Krul substitution.
Van Gaal is a genius.
I guess it was.
Yep.
Sorry to see Los Ticos out, but it’s a fair result for sure.
