The same "dolphin" that madrid wanted and were willing to pay top dollar for? Spanish super cup

OT:Its the second half of extra time and the netherlands seem to be pressing the costa ricans.

 

[fiend]

2 times Sneijder has hit the woodwork and 3 times in total for the dutch.

OT- Netherlands have never won a penalty shootout in a world cup, might be a chance for costa rica.

 

[Makoto Uchiha]

They won a penalty shoot out in 2004

Costa Rica. What sheer determination and spirit. Ultimate underdogs. Can't help but love them, their resilience is awesome, dutch under serious pressure.

actually it's a mix of complete luck and disgusting tactics

 

[Luther]

I still see netherlands winning it in extra time.

 

[fiend]

They won a penalty shoot out in 2004

I meant in a world cup

actually it's a mix of complete luck and disgusting tactics

Yes, Netherlands have been unlucky, but Costa Ricans have been resilient

OT- Netherlands might change their history today.

Update:- Netherlands are through.

 

[~Puppet Master~]

Oh my god... Krul was amazing.

 

[narutokage99]

Good game Holland Louis van Gaal the best coaching of this world cup.
200% deserved victory.

 

[Oksus]

Those mind games from Netherlands Lol

 

[Olorin]

deserved victory for holland, the coach knew what he was doing

the real order of world football is back

 

[Six Paths]

That was a game to be remembered....

 

[-Punk-]

As longest I don't see the final the suits want (Brasil vs Argentina ) I'm ok with it , but I'm rooting for Germany .

 

[Silico]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Well deserved U_U.

 

[fiend]

Masterstroke by Van Gaal for bringing on Tim Krul. Netherlands were a little unlucky, their three shots hit the woodwork. In the end they deserved the win.

 

[kmrasengan]

Van Gaal hit the spot with that sub tho. Krul saved them. So many wasted opportunities, and Van Persie was the one who wasted more, not to mention the number of times he was caught offside. Holland vs Argentina in the semis. Let's hope it will be entertaining.

 

[Itachi Minato]

some great penalties by Holland. Kuyt was especially good

 

[Luther]

This Netherlands team wouldn't have it as easy as people think with argentina.

 

[fiend]

These are the thing which one just totally appreciates about Van Gaal, he is one of the best managers, the way he micromanages things, he make absolutely amazing tactical changes which change the game in any grim situation. Just awesome, he is a Genius.

Commiserations for Costa Rica they defended well, Navas made 6-7 awesome saves .

 

[Illyasviel]

Completely deserved win for Holland,should have won in the first 90 mins.
Netherlands ftw!Although,Argentina is my second favorite so at least I'll have someone to cheer for in the finals and for the third place.

Your attempts at justifying what he said is suprising. Under no condition should a captain say such about his team.



"Maybe we're an average team," he said. "It would be a lie to say that we are a 'top' team. We have many limitations and suffer from injuries such as with Pepe [who was suspended] and [Fabio] Coentrao. This limits us a lot. We have a very limited team and we are not at the best level. This does not enable you to beat top teams.

"There are no miracles. We knew we would have a tough group, with perhaps teams better than us. I never thought we could be world champions, we have to be humble and know our level. I'm not a hypocrite, I never thought we could win the tournament "

This all sounds like excuses to me after Spain were thrashed by Netherlands iker casillas even admitted that it was his fault that he should be blamed now thats how a team captain should act.

Tf man, so you're saying he should take all the blame for himself? ''I just won the Ballon D'or and the boot, and even though most of the players in my team have done jack shit, I'm still the worst player in our team. Yeah''? Tf, seriously. He said we're all average.​
