This is the worst game of the tournament so far although we are on the 52 game, so not too bad

Sounds like the fans have gone home

Booing at half time?

They seem to have livened up a bit which didn't last

Glad to hear some boos.

Terrible game, would be good if there was a way neither team could go through.

Greece upon hearing boos must think that they're doing a good job. Its a compliment to them.

Well, that first half couldn't finish quick enough.

Deserved boos at half time for two sides playing cautiously and conservatively - didn't bank on that from the Costa Ricans, I must admit - and lacking the touch to either control the midfield or consistently create chances.

Have to say that Greece did have the best of the chances there were in that half though.

This is the worst game of the tournament so far although we are on the 52 game, so not too bad
Iran v Nigeria was at the bottom of the pile but I think that first half has sunk below it.

Trying to think what other dross we've had; Russia v Belgium and Russia v South Korea were pretty poor, and so was Japan v Greece if I remember rightly.

The Dutch must be bricking it knowing they'll have to play either of these sides next.

Yes, let's have a replay of Holland v Mexico in the QFs (but let them play away from the oven of Fortaleza at midday).

How do some people remember games from 8 years ago (especially boring ones)?!

No joke, I fell asleep 12 minutes in and woke up just before the half time whistle.
Maybe the 7 goals I predicted will come in the 2nd half ?

Russia v South Korea was mind-numbing, there's been very small flashes of decent play here at least.

I still have nightmares about that game. In the dream, they're still taking penalties.

The Dutch are gonna walk over either of these teams....

Van Gaal must be leaping for joy at the way the QF looks.

both teams were devastatingly awful throughout

what happened to the energetic and enterprising Korean team of old?
what happened to the arshavin-inspired dutch slayers of 4 years ago?

kinda let iran off a bit as they were never going to be too attacking and Greece / japan where one team was down to 10
