At least we get penalties! Come on Costa Rica!
Costa Rica vs Greece - ITV 9pm KO
17 of 25
Penalties!
That's almost a moral victory for Costa Rica; a quite magnificent effort to improbably survive the whole of extra time with ten men.
Either side could've won it, though, in that second period - one of the most thrilling I've seen in a long time.

A moral victory is nothing compared to a real one. If they lose the shoutout, it won't matter one bit.
Costa Rica have done really well to make it this far, both in the tournament and in this game after the red card.
If they do win this then the keeper deserves to have schools named after him.

I'm not talking about your box of Bics
Does anyone know what the record number of shootouts are in a WC?
1990 was known for a lot of shootouts but they only had 4.
We've had 2 already from 4 games so far.

Oh, I agree - I'm just saying what an achievement it was just for them to get to this stage.
Seemed like the Greek coach was complaining about which end the kicks would be taken.
And he's been sent to the stands!

No other team would have been any different. Certainly not in a knock out match at the world cup. If you're up a goal and down to 10 men in the second half that will have a very significant impact on the way you play.
I'm hoping for an attempted chip down the middle (think Pirlo vs England in Euro 2012) that someone executes spectacularly wrong.
