What the f***. Orlando City? Fly in for every home and away do ya. Nah, Sky Sports season ticket? As if the measure of any sort of fandom is based on if one attends matches in a stadium or not.

I got 109. Comeback is on.

Wanted Costa Rica to win, but quality tactics from the Dutch.

Krul Costa Rica

Tim "Bad Motherfucker" Krul

What happened to the Costa Rican class pens from the Greece match? Fucking shit now.

Fuck that man, imagine the scenes if Costa fucking Rica wins the lot.

Says they've been warming Krul up for pens only on the sidelines.

Can also see some logic in using a keeper that hasn't been playing 120 minutes for something such as penalties. But still...

Now I'm conflicted. Fuck you Netherlands.

More pen than Robben.

The £20 back on Costa Rica advancing.

Would've been if Robben could fall over like a normal person when tackled.

I hate Robben so much.

Feel you're robbing the CR defenders of some glory there. They've been solid at cancelling just those threats more than Robben and RVP have been shit. Nope, he's been useless. Have you watched Costa Ricas other matches? Their defence have been immense throughout.

I so hope Costa Rica makes it through. Commentators over here have been all "Who's gonna send the Dutch through?", "Argentina vs the Netherlands will be an entertaining semi", "Costa Rica have done well to get so far, but the Netherlands will rape them." Fuck you commentators. Fuck you.

Almost their entire squad (many of 'em at least) have history in the Norwegian league or are still there.

I don't mind the Dutch. Of the "big" ones left they're most canny tbh. Just want an underdog to get their moment in the sun more than anything else, and it just so happens that if that should come to pass the Netherlands need to lose.

They're worried about the Dutch counters, and rightly so. If they didn't sit deep the Dutch would be ten inches deep in their ass by now.

If you can't appreciate the prospect of a World Cup final in Brazil between Brazil and Argentina you should stop following football tbh. As I say it looks cracking on paper but both sides must not lose mentality will see it overshadowed by the so called 'dark art's of football. Appreciate what the Prophet is saying tbh. In my head, the semi-final line-up is fucking mouthwatering. Germany-Brazil and Holland-Argentina... but I'm superimposing stars and teams of bygone eras on to those glamour names of international football. The reality will be excellent for the occasion, but the footballing spectacle, I suspect, will be underwhelming, scrappy and undignified in the extreme. I think play-off football really need an underdog or two to be entertaining tbh. If it's the same old same old, there's no "real" excitement or nerve in the matches as there's not as much at stake going out admirably to a quality opponent as there is if the opponent is meant to be a lot worse than you.

Bit of both. There is no middle ground.
