It's been a fun ride Costa Rica. No one expected you guys to get a single win in this tournament and yet here you are, in the quarter finals for the first time. Not to mention you took the team I liked the least in this tournament (Greece) out in some good old fashion penalties. For that you have my utmost respect as my Oranje continue their quest for that elusive world cup trophy.

Good job, good effort Costa Rica.

Really like what CR has done this tournament.
I pulled for CR over Greece.
I think Dutch look strong.

Though I'm one of the germans who doesn't actually mind the dutch, especially their propensity to fall in love with themselves enough to fall apart when it matters, I can't not root for the Greek Killers in this matchup!

Speaking of chokers, when was the last time Germany won when it mattered?

Probably the easiest opponent of all quarter finalist for the Dutch but I think they kind of deserve that considering they probably had the hardest schedule so far of those eight, in particular in the second round.

If you ain't Dutch you ain't much. Holland will win this one. Los Tikos seemed to have trouble keeping their cool. How many guys got booked last match? I think the Dutch will score in the first half and then essentially cruise.

Yeah, predicting this. 1-0, maybe 2-1 Dutch.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.
