Holland will batter Costa Rica. I doubt that Costa Rica will be able to deal with Robben.
NaijaSpurs
Les Ferdinand
Maybe so, but then the same was said of England, Italy and Uruguay

Very very interesting round of 16 so far.
First 4 games so far have all gone to those who qualified as Group winners. What if the latter half of the round was to go the other way???
Imagine a quarter final line-up of:
Brazil Vs Columbia
Netherlands Vs Costa Rica
Nigeria Vs Algeria
Switzerland Vs USA
Not very likely to happen but THAT would put the World in World Cup

This is why I hate the Dutch ! They are traditional cheaters ! All the teams dive at some times but the Dutch dive all the times. They are serial master divers. Really annoyed to see Robben diving like a frog to win the penalty to beat Mexico. Even more annoying to see him unshamedly admitting he dived 2 times against Mexico. Surely, FIFA should take action against him now that he admitted to diving. Since they banned the serial biter Suarez using video evidence. they should use the admission of serial diver Robben to ban him atleast for 1 match.
As for Mexico, they have only themselves to blame. As soon as they scored, had the feeling they will lose this match. They simply scored too early. For all their talents, Mexico don't have the mental strength to defend a lead against a big team for too long. They would have won this match if they had continued attacking as the Dutch were shyte until then. But they stopped playing and gave the momentum back to the Dutch. It was really stupid of the Mexico coach to take off goal scorer Dos Santos with 30 mins to play. Dos Santos did well to score with a great shot and should have played the whole match. He is Mexico's most influential player and to take him off was really stupid. Even worse Mexico had to play with virtually 10 men when the useless Hernandez came on for the last 15 mins. Almost all the defences have been shyte in this WC. Only a few like Mexico defended really well. So, it is really disappointing to see them lose by conceding 2 late goals.
