Costa Rica got what they deserved from that game. They had no intention of attacking, just time wasting and spoiling tactics. They were shite. Their goalie must have had 15 minutes of treatment. He had more resurrections than Jesus.
I don't particularly like the Dutch but they deserved the win and I thought Robben was outstanding.
I can see Messi tearing the Dutch defence apart, here hoping anyway :)
Costa Rica were dead on their feet after 90(plus) minutes,they gave their all,especially the last 25mins,which was as entertaining a period of football as any in this tournament.They resorted to spoiling tactics in extra time simply to give themselves a chance of progression,who can blame them?
Robben is a fantastic talent but he's also a cheating twat,he and his team have been experts in 'game management' this tournament,as such,i don't think they were owed fuck all.
Well done Costa Rica,i'd be shocked if even one of their players would make our team and yet,
through heart and desire, they deservedly made the quarter finals and did their nation proud.
