I agree taka - there's not a lot of love for the next game, but I'm expecting a good battle.
That's the first time a team has won a World Cup knockout game in regular time after trailing in the 88th minute, by the way.
JC, I'm going for 2-0 Costa Rica - you?
That's specific, wagen, but if it comes in then you have impressed the Gillette Boot Room for all time.
RL, that should surely read "When Suarez bites."
Louis van Gaal: “The payers showed that they have faith and belief until the very end. Otherwise you can’t pull through like that. The humidity was not in our favor. A big compliment is due to our players. Physically, they prepared and focused so well to play this match and this gives us enormous confidence.”
Louis van Gaal on Nigel de Jong's injury: “It was a physical problem, a groin injury. He is one of my most important elements in terms of my team. This was a big setback.”
Drew, that's fair - it's a strange paradox.
I wouldn't say so Franco - managers are always giving players instructions throughout the game, and the clock wasn't stopped for the drinks break, so I don't see why he wouldn't be allowed to talk to them during it.
