The first 30 minutes of the 2nd half was all Costa Rica, though they weren't as dominant in that 30 minutes as the Dutch in the last 15. The Ticos may still have a chance if they can muster that last bit of quality on a counter-attack, but the Dutch are clearly more talented and dangerous.cdsfrog said:Netherlands has squandered so many great opportunities. starting to wonder if this doesn't go to PK and they lose. would be fitting for the dutch. Most wins in the world cup without a title.

That's what I meant by "they weren't as dominant" bc they controlled the game, but couldn't generate many dangerous opportunities . Once the tide turned the Dutch held the ball in the Ticos' penalty area for 15 solid minutes.cdsfrog said:
All Costa Rica is a stretch. Possession wise yes, opportunity wise definitely not. Costa Rica keeper is legit
Yup. I think they missed one earlier on Joel Campbell, though.cdsfrog said:Gotcha. Horrible flop by Costa Rica, fortunately not called
