I didn't say they were great did I? At least they got this far which is more than I could say about certain other teams.

They've made a habit of it. Hell, they won the Euros! That's more than England have done lately!

Fair enough.

I think Costa Rica's biggest problem was that, like so many teams, they sat back after they scored and it just doesn't work most of the time. They're just lucky Greece don't have any quality finishers in the squad, otherwise they could easily be 2 or 3 goals down.

That was a decade ago. This Greek team isn't on patch on the 04 Greece team.

Hands up, who feared the worst when the Greeks broke 5 against 2 there?

And Campbell nearly breaking free at the other end - this is a thrilling period of extra time.

5 on 2 for a moment there. What a chance that was!

We've seen quite a few 5 on 2 counters messed up in the WC.

Jesus, 5 against 2, just needed a quality pass and it would have been easy but again zero quality on show.

Not being used to those situations, they clearly panicked!

I can see Costa Rica switching off again with a few minutes to go.

Erm, you did notice that they went down a man not long after they scored? That's a major difference between this match at the earlier Mexico-Netherlands match.

Greece were fortunate to avoid a pk after the handball in the area as well.

Shocked that costa put so many people up front for the corner

Almost worked as the corner was excellent

I don't think the locals are too enamoured with Greece, loud boos when they have the ball.

Holland will be more than happy with playing either of these.
