had to be one of the most boring regulation time games of the World Cup, but the Extra time to follow was just electrifying.... Costa Rica suddenly carving out a couple of chances right at the end, and Sneijder rattling the crossbar.... another masterstroke of a substitution from Van Gaal.... and the penalties were clinical....
over the course of the entire game, i feel the Dutch heavily deserved to win.... Costa Rica may have performed in the group stages, but i just didnt feel it from them today.... offered nothing at all
