Krul acted like a real **** there.

Jeffrey Dahmer saves the day

Two touches on the ball was all the substitute goalkeeper needed...

 

[Spizz]

Yep.

 

[AthenianOwl]

KRUL!!! YOU ****ING BEAUTY!!!!!!

 

[Creag]

Tense finish. So chuffed for the Dutch. Could this be their year? I hope so.

+1000

 

[Creag]

Thank you all. Bedtime for this humble scot.

Krul acted like a real **** there.

He acted the same as any goalkeeper who has ever saved a penalty in a shoot out and sent his team through to the next round in the history of ever.

LVG HAS HUUUUUUUUGE BAAAAAALS!!!!!

Absolutely. Big ups to the coach for making the sub. Must have psyched the lads from Costa Rica something horrible.

 

[Replay]

It worked. All that matters

 

[Creag]

LVG HAS HUUUUUUUUGE BAAAAAALS!!!!!

And they are both made of titanium.

What is worrying is that Netherlands with all that possession couldn't score..

Costa Rica keeper and defence were quite solid.

Yep, at face value it's a bit of a weird one to sub your first choice keeper in such a fashion. Obviously must've been a plan with maybe Krul having trained at stopping penalties and of course as you say, the psychological aspect must be a factor as well for Costa Rica.

Well done the Duchies and LVG.

Costa Rica keeper and defence were quite solid.

which is also the reason why I don't have much hope for them against Messi and company....looking at their game today
