"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!!

"It's Krul for the Dutch it's cruel for Costa Rica" is one of the coldest on the spot improvisation lines ever!

as a Costa Rican we will remember Tim Krul forever negatively :(

[Tikolico]

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.

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

I remember watching this in a local pub. What a great penalty shootout it was

[andrewserieys]

Love Tim Krul he served us geordies well

[misterpayah]

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.

[mewtationnation]

This Dutch team was really something else. So much talent and an incredible run. Very much team to watch.

[diablejambe]

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.

[paradigm_shft]

The Netherlands v Argentian shootout was bizarre for the Dutch. Why Ron Vlaar was the first to kick was beyond me.

[SS-stvf]

This moment is legendary. My family and I still talk about it sometimes. I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

Best world cup I've seen so far (from 2002) each & every match was delightful

[jamieleepurdy]

As a Norwich fan love krul phenomenon phenomenal keeper one of the best to play for us

[nymusnymusnymus]

That last bit where Louis van Gaal had this fantastic smile after being remembered with his own quote of "calling penalties a lotery" cracks me up 🤣🤣

[superpantman]

For my old 11 a side team I was part of a penalty shootout. To be honest I wasn't one of the chosen 5 to take a penalty but it ended up going to sudden death. Their keeper was a lot better than ours, he was like early 40's but a real veteran, Allan McGregor type guy so I knew I needed to place the ball with power to beat him. He seemed to know exactly where everyone was going to put their shots so I decided to shoot with my weaker foot since I didn't exactly know which way I would go I figured he probably wouldn't either. It worked, sent him completely the wrong way but I hit the post.
I hate taking penalties.

[nabilinho]

I was so happy for him when he saved the penalty I cried. What a moment!

[PurpleStreak]

One of my all time favourite world cup moments
