stop quoting his stupid loving post and talk about how Costa Rica are in the quarter final of a World Cup

its real cool and impressive for sure i like watching them they have some sick players. Navas was so good, so many big stops not enough can be said about him tonight and that Ruiz finish was slow as gently caress but placed perfectly.

They are gonna give it to the netherlands good and hard

Those really were some nice penalties. 3 or 4 of them were in the roof of the net, ballsy stuff on a stage like this.

As much fun as these 120 minute games are the players all looked completely gassed by the end. Wonder if we will see any affects of that when Costa Rica takes on the Dutch.

Doubt it, they dont play until saturday

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.
I hope Joel Campbell is getting IV fluids and O2 in the locker room cause drat!

Fair point, I forgot that the gap in games got so large. Group stage is always so frantic in comparison.

Spain went out in the group stage.
Italy went out in the group stage.
England got one point.
Mexico choked in the Round of 16.
Luis Suarez did something retarded again and it probably cost Uruguay a chance of going past the Round of 16.

All of the above things are pretty great.

Would be super dumb concidering that he was also denied a penalty when he deserved one once before his "dive". The Mexicans foot was inside and over Robbens, the ball was long gone. It was a legit penalty, now stop whining about it. Mexico really had it coming given it was the third time they tried tripping him.
