he stopped 2 pks and almost stopped the other 2 as wellComment -
He's obviously their best pk goalieOriginally posted by SportsMushroomComment -

best ive seen anyway
goalkeepers generally choose where to dive at random during a penalty kick and hope to get lucky, this guy is so fast he can actually wait to see where the ball is going before diving, so he always dives on the right side which makes it very likely that he'll make a saveComment -
i bet he was the only one studying CR pk tendencies all week
brilliant move by the coach he won them that shootoutComment -
Typical American soccer know-how. The guy keeps for Newcastle and is shit. Tall GK jumping to the left all the time - odds say he has a good chance to make a couple of saves.
Leave it to Bryan Ruiz to miss - he was shit in Fulham and was shit all game for CR.
On the bright side - CR didn't win, which would've been declared a national holiday for weeks and we wouldn't be able to get a dime from the CR sportsbooks for months

I couldn't believe the taunting you normally don't see that in soccer
What balls that guy hadComment -
Seems like he is built for PK's. Did look he got in their head.Originally posted by jjgoldComment -
Everyone missing the point here. He saved the pks because Costa Rica was practicing all week for the starting goalie so the Dutch coach surprised them. It's all psychological.Comment -
Yes, the element of surprise was a big part. Definitely effects mental state of pentaly taker which already is a high pressure situation anyway. Also, quite simply Cillesen is smaller than Krul...Krul is a few inches taller and thicker so a bigger presence in goal. Cillesen is also a lot less experienced...he only jus became ajax first team GK last season so would of been a a lot of pressure for himOriginally posted by pavyracerComment -
The taunting did get in their heads
I thought the Costa Rican players were somewhat confused by the tauntingComment -
The dutch goalkeepers always do this. And the referee never does anything about it.
Just watch Van Breukelen at the 0:50 mark and again at the 2min mark.

he just block 2 of the last 23 penalties in the premier league. Its all bullshit.
Comment -
He took care of buisness when it counted,stopping penalty kicks is tough as hell for any goalkeeper,and he stopped two.Originally posted by akphideltComment -
Always guess one way all five times in a shootout don't try to mix it up
As far as the offense of player always hit the ball highComment -
You're stupid.Originally posted by jjgoldComment -
They need to stop goalies like Nava lying around on the ground purposely inorder to try and kill time.Originally posted by ParetoThe dutch goalkeepers always do this. And the referee never does anything about it.

Van Gaal, Rule 1: Use all your changes in 120 min game. People get tired, they are not robots.Comment -
There are some true in your commentOriginally posted by jjgoldComment -
I know the game of soccer
I should probably coach itComment -
JJ you could start coaching the new york red bullsComment -
i wonder if the Costa Rican players could understand his words? dont they speak different languages?Originally posted by jjgoldComment -
Costa Ricans aren't tough like those Europeans they were scaredComment -
They are very shyComment -
What is this? International hockey talk?Comment -
Whatever it was it did work
A goalie intimidated to players
This guy is big timeComment -
Unlike Puerto Ricans who get somewhat confused by school books.Originally posted by jjgoldComment -
that's where costa rica's inexperience really showed,
they've never been on the big stage while krul is an animal monster,
he guessed every shot correctly too.Comment -
This has always been Krul's game and almost all of the tall goalies.Originally posted by jjgold
It's not the keeper that won it for the flopping Dutch, it was the CR players not knowing the first rule of penalties against tall goal keepers - ALWAYS SHOOT IN THE MIDDLE!
Anyhow, pissed off because now I have to watch fuckin Robin and van Persei diving all through another game. People from Holland should be ashamed of themselves for cheering the biggest dolphins in soccer!Comment
