Astafjevs Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Strikes me as a sub to make the headlines really. Not many are going to forget van Gaal subbing his goalkeeper in the QF, regardless of whether they win or lose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Is Krul known for saving pens? Very, very odd. This could backfire. Obviously if Krul is the hero LvG looks a genius but Cillesan must be wondering what's up. If they go through he starts the semi? Costa Rica not overly ambitious but damn that defence, man. Unreal organisation and discipline and then they have those late breakaways About the only country I wouldn't be terrified of facing in pens is the Dutch though Considering how well the Costa Ricans put their pens away against Greece *gulp* fear for the Dutch Costa Rica this tournament's South Korea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Gonzo Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 van Gaal is a nutter, has anyone ever subbed a keeper for this reason? Yes, German cup Fürth against Dortmund.

ri916 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The outrage in here .
