    its such a shame that costa rica are having to defend, they should at least try a couple of attacks,

    when i see teams sitting back to play for extra time (no names mentioned arsenal) it inevitably ends up with the attacking team usually scoring a goal..

    Their legs will fall off before they get to penalties; both teams, especially Cota Rica are shagged out here

    I couldnt run in that heat for 5 minutes, just a steady walk along cretes waterfront last week was killing me..

    And costa ricas goalie deserves so much praise from his country whatever happens, talk about putting 110% effort in:T

    sO GLAD ITS A PENO SHOOTOUT - oops - Its exactly the right way to settle this match!

    (WOW 22 minutes since end of extra time)

    ''Thats my OH out! - at least i saw 10 goals - woohoo!!!!!!!''
    Costa ricas goalie was the star! 5 from 5 penos, not bad!

    Yeah, the best team won in the end

    Gotta feel a bit sorry for my ex Man City player, Samaras; but he can't complain too much, having won the Eurovision Song Contest earler this year. So not such a bad year 2014 for him.

    Big yawn first half, better second half - brilliant Costa Rica pens soooo made up for them. Campbell looked like a fun runner finishing the London Marathon in extra time but great result.
