Genius substitution from the Iron Tulip and the Oranje go marching on

LightningBlue

What an absolute shítehawk Tim Krul is.

Joke that the referee allowed that carry on before every single penalty.

Washington Irving

I think we all know what Robben was telling Krul now.

Worked out for them tbf.

Spudmonkey

Krul's an asshole.

Great tactical decision to hold the mighty Costa Rica to a 0-0 draw and scrape through on pens.

TimeToShine

Krul has clearly been studying the Costa Rican team.

Great call, and a win for football that they went through. Argentina Costa Rica would have been a torrid affair.

Larry Wildman

Pathetic stuff from Giles et al re Van Gaal's decision to bring Krul on.

Anything that's innovative scares them.

"Why would you do that Bill?"

Why wouldn't you if you've two 'keepers - One who's better at saving penalties and one who's better generally.

ricero

The dutch should play for penos there next 2 games and they will win it. Great peno takers

Mantis Toboggan

Jeez that's krul on the Costa Rican's.

Jelle1880

What a ****ing ballsy move by Van Gaal.

LowOdour

that was Krul on Costa Rica.....has the Tim krul pun been used yet? Didn't think so

Ulysses Gaze

Gamesmanship by Krul, but the Dutch took 4 outstanding penalties.

Lightbulb Sun

As usual the heroic sub gets no credit, and the manager gets all the plaudits....

jodaw

Anyone but the dutch to win ... oh or the Germans

Washington Irving

Van Gaal's victory. Tactical genius. Greatest manager of all time.

omega man

Ol' Tim, who would've thought it....

Entertainment this WC isn't lacking

efb

I think FIFA should make a statement on that behaviour- it's not on

danbrosnan

Absolute master stroke!

TheFullDuck

some amount of hatred for Krul here. :PAC:

Do ya not think more than likey Cillesen would have been told he'll be taken off if it looks like it could go to penalties?

Billy86

Krul had definitely been doing a LOT of penalty training also, guessed every penalty correctly.

UnitedIrishman

Can someone explain the outrage over what Krul was doing?

Andersonisgod

I'd absolutely love to see Argentina smash Netherlands, their behavior throughout that penalty shootout was disgraceful.

snaphook

Krul. Genius tactics. It worked. They're through. Fcuk off naysayers.

Will I Amnt

Super penalties from the Dutch, well deserve their place in the semis, much the better team on the night.

Headshot

****ing delighted, only one team wanted to win the match and they got what they deserved in the end

You's mad.

Gutted for Costa Rica. Surprise packages maybe but they were fantastic and played some superb football.

rozeboosje

Nou nou hieperdepiep .... I didn't see THAT coming

Turtwig

Van Gaal is a good manager but he's not the equivalent of a messi in management why all the fapping?
