    In the event, Krul guessed right and they were good saves.

    Did he guess? It seemed to me that he might have waited before diving. That would explain why he went the right way each time. Be interested in other views on this if you have access to a recording.

    I can't imagine Costa Rica have been in that many shoot-outs to research in that much depth?

    The fact that the No.1 Dutch goalie has never saved a pen might have helped make Van Gaal's mind up.
    And he still hasn't saved a pen as the Dutch go out.
  • Shilton went down like a Subbuteo goalie!!

    Apparently, LVG asked 2 players to take the first pen ahead of Vlaar and they refused!! I bet one was Huntelaar who was a sub in extra time for RVP! What a waste - and what a pussy Huntelaar is, especially after his pressure penalty winner against Mexico!!
