Time for the penalty kicks
This is just like Chile and Brazil all over again this is a close round in the top 16
Looking forward to this finale.
Edit In: Hurt goalie for Costa Rica vs no coach for Greece to decide the order up to the captain on this one or subcoach.

I got Greece at 17/2 to win in extra time. I had almost given up then.
Phew.
Phew.
Goal for the greeks
Now I was honestly expecting this game to settle but were going into extra time Boys!

I hope for Greece
lets see if Costa Rica can hold on here with a red card
Mitroglu comes on. Fulham's strike force at display on the world's biggest stage 
Go, Costa Rica! Hope you get to the semis
Bryan Ruiz, was not he the one destined for big things at some point? Think he ended up at Fulham or the like.
Think Costa Rica has this in the bag.

Both teams deserved to win, but I'm happier that Netherlands was the one to win(they disclassified would mess my parlays);
Hope that Costa Rica wins by 4vs0 against the greeks, Greece has an awfull defensive football and they deserved to lose al their group stage matches

Agreed. Greek football is terrible to watch. They barely squeezed by group stage competition and will be up against a formidable Costa Rican side. Hopefully they get destroyed
Costa Rica is a real inspiration. They have shown how 11 players playing for each other as part of a team can achieve.
Their energy is incredible.
I think Greece could nick this one.
Its pretty reserved so far and there is no interesting odds either both teams are around 9/4

Beautiful pass and a beautiful save. Barely off the leg of the goalkeeper.

By far the most dramatic match of the tournament for me. Chile - Brazil was close but it really looked like Holland was dead and out. And the ref made up for his mistake in not giving Robben the penalty in the first half so it's all fair.
Indeed it was, I even changed the channel after 85 minutes of game, but suddenly I check my bet and saw I won. It was really surprising that Netherlands won.
The Greece players have showed just how admirable they are after rejecting their World Cup bonuses – and instead asking for the money to be used to build a new training centre for the team.
That was unlucky for mexico. Very soft pentaly too.
The penalty was given for something that normally would not result in a penalty, but it was the 3rd time in that match already that Robben fell down near the goal (and the first two times were a little more intense), so that's probably the reason why.
With all the pressure in the late-game they would most likely win in case of additional play time.
Didnt think it was a penalty but i did think the time previously where robben got taken down twice was a clear pen.
Mexico ran out of energy and to be fair to the dutch they came back awesome when going 1-0 down.

Holland had a penalty not marked by the referee in the first half, so its not a injustive, even if it in fact was not a penalty

Exactly, even if you think the last minute penalty was soft, the one in first half was a 100% foul that should have been a penalty. So Netherlands won fair and square.
