  • "ITS KRUL FOR NETHERLANDS,ITS CRUEL FOR COSTA RICA" One of the best commentaries in the World Cup
  • @shawnzorf
    Louis van Gaal had plenty of moments of brilliance during that World Cup. That flexible 5-3-2 formation put Spain into a lot of trouble, and then he made a few switches to use Dirk Kuyt and Daryl Janmaat to mark Alexis Sánchez individually against Chile. Then in the Round of 16 against Mexico, he put Huntelaar especially for the penalties, and it came in handy for that infamous Robben dive. And then this happened.
  • An unforgettable night for real. One of the most intense games of WC 2014 for sure!!
  • @patricija4179
    "It's Krul for the Dutch it's cruel for Costa Rica" is one of the coldest on the spot improvisation lines ever!
  • @thedonsz9186
    I remember watching this in a local pub. What a great penalty shootout it was
  • Louis Van Gaal didn’t deserve the criticism he got at Man U. The guy’s an ingenious manager and deserves success with the Netherlands
  • He actually selected a specific penalty killer this time aswell. His name os Andries Noppert, he's 6"6 and plays for a mid table team in the dutch league. He's a penalty specialist, just like Krul. Quality wise, we had atleast 3 better goalkeepers that weren't selected, so the assumption is that this one is only for penalties aswell.

    Even though Costa Rica lost and I am Costa Rican, this game is legendary, it was such a tight game, both teams fought to the end to get the win, I could not take my eyes off of the TV, this is the kind of game fans dream of. Hopefully we will see more of that in this 2022 world cup. Best of luck to the Netherlands team, or as we call them in Latin America "La Naranja Mecanica" which loosely translates to "The Orange Machine", they are one of the teams I always like to watch in the world cups.
  • Went back to college after the summer, played fifa with a friend and chose the netherlands. Put krul in goal cuz i was like "ah, just in case it goes to penalties". And it did and i pulled a krul myself by beasting that shootout lol.
  • The Netherlands v Argentian shootout was bizarre for the Dutch. Why Ron Vlaar was the first to kick was beyond me.
  • Really appreciated the explanation of the distraction tactics and the empiric data on it. Just 10 minutes in the limelight but that's all he needed to be immortalised.
  • @SS-st5vf
    This moment is legendary. My family and I still talk about it sometimes. I'll remember it for the rest of my life.
  • This Dutch team was really something else. So much talent and an incredible run. Very much team to watch.
  • Best world cup I've seen so far (from 2002) each & every match was delightful
  • If he only didn't refuse to participate in the WC... Imagine how it might have turned out with the penalties... (He refused because he didn't want to do a goalkeeper test/training with van Gaal)
