As much as I like the idea of dudes from the Columbus Crew winning in pk's here, I want a real semifinal with the best teams going through.

Again with the post.

Wesley Sneijder has to be beside himself right now.

CR were assassins in pk's & the Dutch often choke. This is going to be nutz, you guys.

[wolf stansson]

If Klinsy tried to put Rimando in as the pk specialist, Timmy would fatality him by yanking his spine out.

You mean you don't want to see another 90 minutes of bunkering against Argentina?

 

The Dutch better win this shootout.

CRC is going to go to a semifinal after all this. With all respect to their group, they played the worst attacking team in history, and then bunkered and timewasted their way into a shootout.

this has been one of my favorite games of the whole tournament. so much nonsense.

[USSoccer]

That was a great penalty there by RvP

[Guest]

Terrible penalty by Ruiz. Not in the corner and not very hard.

[wolf stansson]

Real gangsta ass Van Gaal's don't flex nuts, cuz real gangsta ass Van Gaal's know they got em.

[USSoccer]

Tim Krul running his mouth there was fantastic.

[Guest]

Four great PKs by Holland so far.

OK, let’s play. Does Cameron start? RT @RobStoneONFOX I don't care. I'm still treating the day as a buildup to #ARGvs #USA

 

Rob Stone ‏@RobStoneONFOX 10h

@AlexiLalas Yes...but where? Stay strong. Home stretch.

@RobStoneONFOX If you put him at RB then no Yedlin. If you put him at DM then no Beckerman. If you put him at CB then no Gonzalez.

I was thinking what would happen.

 

Highly entertaining game but I'm glad the better team advanced.

[shnsajax]

Justice. Really this is a perfect final four. Can't ask for much more.

[Derwood]

Netherlands should've won like 5-0. Insane.

 

Also amazing how much cleaner this game was than Brazil v. Colombia.
