Cinderella against a country that should have atleast one Cup. Lost in 1974 and 1978 to the host countries with the best team in both tournaments. Cruyf didn't even go in 1978 because of kidnapping threats to his family. They win it with him there.

That being said, What a story Los Ticos have been.

Damn. I knew there were a lot of ugly incidents in high level soccer. But racisim must be pretty damned bad in soccer to have both captains give a speech in their native language before the game.

Not to mention their chance 4 years ago. LINK

I'm rooting for them to win it all this year.

Yeah, but RVP and Robben are soooooo douchey.

I'm not sure how CR keeps up this kind of energy for more than 60 minutes, especially since they played 30 more minutes their last game than the Dutch did.

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a penalty given off a corner or free kick.

Yea. Part of me thinks it would be cheap to do so. But then I see the replays of defenders just hugging players and something has to be done about it. You should be called for using your hands on defense. On that particular one, the ref was staring right at it.

I'll modify that. I'm rooting for whoever wins this game to win it all.

This thread isn't about banging white chicks or hating on Omar Gonzalez

It's pretty incredible how much this board has fallen off since we were eliminated. I've still watched every game since.

Robben could not be any more dramatic, jesus .
Fouled or not, dude always acts like he's on fire.

I feel so hypocritical for liking Robben and hating Muller.

Nice to see that he only rolled 4 times after that last challenge though. Respect.

I hate everything about Robben, especially that he looks extremely unathletic from the shoulder up.

Robben looks like such an athletic freak. Like he was created in a laboratory or something.
