But he was, for once he dove skillfully. Anyhow it was clumsy of the defender to put his foot out infront of him like that. Where's Nietzsche? Has he survived this ordeal?
AoG for President of the World!! I promise he will put George W. Bush to shame!

Go Costa Rica!
Bollocks.
Gonna be difficult for Costa Rica to score on Grecce's tight defense, Grecce is not good, but I doubt Costa Rica can score when they're not going to be able to live on breakaways. Expect Grecce to play a tight boring game and win with 1-0.

Yes, happy for costa rica too. I can t help not liking the greek team. Would ve been nice for the greek citizens though, they never made it to quarter finals either.

They did win Euro 2004 and have been jammy in the World Cup to even get to the knockouts.

Why, was there no contact? Got what he deserved putting his foot in when Robben was going no where... silly play. No doubt Robben made the most of it but a lot of refs would have given it. Plus he was denied a clear pen in the first half when he went down to late.

Felt sorry for the dude who missed though.
Well that s exactly why I don t like them. They got till here the same way they won the euro, comming back from nowhere playing like shit, always 1-0 or eventually 2-1 if ever they receive a goal. Oh, and you probably forgot how they even managed to get a ticket for the world cup between their crappy qualifying phase and their crappy playoffs. They are consistently annoying. Not this time! Well done costa rica. Losing on penaltys is what they deserved.

Mexico's coach made a mistake by taking Dos Santos out.. Holland felt comfortable to over press. Dos Santos would have forced them to be wary about a counterattack.
The same mistake made by Comobia's coach in 2006 when he was Argentina's manager. His team had a 1-0 lead over Germany and he refused to use his fast demons at the time... he had Messi, Saviola and Tevez.
The problem with world cup.. one mistake means you are out.
Apart from that, it's Sunday and I had to watch the shitty Greece vs. Costa Rica game to write the match report. Imagine how crap I have felt when the boredom extended to extra and penalties!
