Netherlands v Costa Rica: Full Penalty Shoot-out | 2014  

“Krul for the Dutch, Crueler (Krul-er) for Costa Rica” that was some fire commentary

Krul had guessed all the penalty shot directions, and saved 2 shots. What a goalie!

Notice that even the balls that he let in.. he still dived the corner where they shot.

Turns out Tim was Not an expert in penalties. It was just a psychological trick to fool Costa Rica. Well played 👏

You gotta hand it to Van Gaal. Genius.

What a performance by Krul. He shows who is the boss.

I never noticed at the time just how many shots were sent to the keepers left

I remember this game. I supported Costa rica as underdogs, and remember that Holland dominated all the game . If not Navas,it could be 3 or 4:0 for Holland. But Krul saved the day for Hollands !😅

He played the sub conscious mind of the opponent. Before every penalty kick Krul warmed up on one side of the goal and dived on the other side to save the kick. He let the opponent subconsciously think that the other side from where krul did his stretches was vacant.

What an iconic sentence by the commentator when the last penalty was saved

The fact that this happened in the stadium that my heart team plays, make this match more legendary for me

You've reminded me of that Dutch golden generation led by rvp, robben and Wesley

When you influence the subconscious mind, you don’t have to guess the direction. Krul did not guess any of the dives. He knew what influence he had put on their subconscious. He touched Ruiz’s right shoulder, subconsciously telling him to shoot in that direction. SAVE. He would walk around the box, either on the right or left. Subconsciously telling the shooters that that side is covered, so shoot in the opposite direction. Thrice, he dived in the correct direction, beaten by the power of the shot. Third time is the charm, SAVE. Learn about the subconscious mind and use it to your advantage. It’s a “superpower”.

Tim Krul was my hero in this World Cup!

On paper, Navas was supposed to be better than Krul. That was a great move by van Gaal.

Great goalkeeper Even if he ended our Best world cup run (yet).

Van Gaal is a mastermind strategist

Tim Krul, the Soccer's Hero!

Mario Gotze and Tim Krul two legendary substitutions of Brazil 2014

The reason why I am a KNVB fan both Orange Lions and Lionesses. Tim Krul is forever my Hero.

Glad Tim Krul finally getting some recognition. I remember 2014 WC Netherlands vs Costa Rica, game went to penalties but in the 118 or something minute, Van Gaal subs on Krul for Cillessen just because Krul had saved 2 penalties in his career and Cillessen hadn’t saved any. Krul went on to guess the right way all 4 shots and saved 2 of them. Louis Van Gaal looked like a genius because of that move

Tim Krul against costa rica, he saved two in the pentaly shootout

Krul from world cup hero to Luton Town reserve,lots can change in 10 years

Well where was he tonight???

I can't imagine how it feels to send your team to the World Cup final like that.

i remember this so well. the nation's hero lol

In 2014, I only watched soccer/football, but I didn't know much about it and I didn't know many players. So I'd never heard about Tim Krul, however I'm Dutch. But from that moment I knew who he is! What a great penalty shoot-out that was, awesome! / In 2014 keek ik enkel nog maar naar voetbal, maar ik wist er nog niet zoveel van en kende ook nog niet zoveel spelers. Dus had ik ook nog nooit van Tim Krul gehoord, tot dit moment, toen wist ik wie hij was. Dat was echt een gave strafschoppenserie, geweldig!

"It's Krul for the Dutch! It's cruel for Costa Rica..." You know the announcer was patiently waiting to say that

Great goalkeeping

Gotta love that cillessen reaction. Bromance

This goal-keeper was actually trained for Penalty kicks

it was actually mind games, he tricked the players to shoot the ball to the direction he wanted, if you pay close attention you will see that he walks to one side of the goal, this tricks the players and gives them some sort of a block and small space on the side he was walking, and makes the other side look like it has more space, so they shoot to the side they think has more space!

Its been 10 years but this moment is still legendary.

Sadness is KRUL has been cruelly left out by Van Gaal

Tim Krul was the hero of this World Cup

Those two penalties saved had krul step out of the goal line. If the rules had been as today's, Costa Rica🇨🇷 would've had a fairy tale run.

A Great Sportsmann ,FairPlay in Person🏆🏆🏆

Krul played the mind games well.

Tim KRUL, we still haven't forgiven him 🇨🇷

Krul was off his line on every pen lol

Para a Fifa quando é goleiro sulamericano não pode provocar, mas se for goleiro europeu provocando aí vira heroi.

Now that I revisit this, I don't know how Costa Rica's last penalty wasn't retaken, as Krul clearly stepped forward from the goal line. Lower the playback speed and pause before the player kicks the ball and see it for yourself.

Van gaal before this substitution ,he said to his assistant that he is sending specialist

Tim krul played the role of super sub to perfection

브라질월드컵(8강전.8강) : 네덜란드VS코스타리카.사우바도르 아레나 폰치노바 현장생중계

I still remember:'(

07:24 Cillessen just wanted a handskake with the hero, but looked up on the screen and realised he wasn't invited to the party.. :(

The only thing costs Rica had to do was shoot way harder… because normally goalkeepers guess where the ball will go and then jump in this direction… this time Krul waited until they shot and jumped after the ball and because they were more softly he could save them

6:45 the commentator planned that alllll night 😂

he is a genius

“it’s krul for the dutch! it’s kruel for costa rica!” amazing commentary!

how many minutes in total did this match last? from first whistle to final. I remember it feeling like forever

Krill plays for Norwich what a goalkeeper

Van Gaal: I will release my boy Krul and tear everyone to shreds, no one can beat our mind games. Dibu Martinez: hi.. *dance*

Selalu ketebak arah bola nya. Ngeri memang krul. Spesialis penalti

Tim Krul spesialis tendangan pinalti

The streets will never forget that Costa Rica team

Tim Krul hero 🥶 April 9, 2023

For Krul these were the only famous/exciting 15 minutes in his career

If he was the keeper in the semi final against Argentina the netherlands wouldve been against germany tht year

Van persie 😍

Olahraga yg sangat menghibur 😊

when he retired he will be only hero for this so sad yet so heroic

best worldcup

Netherlands was supposed to be champion in 2010 AND or 2014.

Would have made things interesting to see this keeper vs dibu Martinez in 2022

I am pretty sure this is the one and only time that Holland had a perfect shootout ;)

Where were IFAB in that situation? Only when a non european does it, it got "forbidden"

Krul tipo odioso

I like how Navas praying do for his teammates to score

Mate, but Costarica.... I think everyone cheered for them, because that was such a suprise. Seeing them at semfinals would be amazign, so close

Giancarlo gonzales was realy calm and cool

Van Gaal is a master!!!

Van Gaal is great. Krul too. Ronald Koeman should watch.

Martinez ❣️❣️❣️❣️

❤️ jos

O cara acertou todos os cantos kk

If they put tim krul againts Argentina in semifinal penalty they may already winning the world cup in that time...

Krul is the second Chicharito replacing someone makes a result but only at the gate

🎉🎉❤

DIO KRUL

On the next match van gaal decided to dont subtituted cilessen when the penalty shotout netherland vs argentina. And the result is history 🤣🤣

Van Gaal asked Krul if he wanted to this job one more time at the 2022WC in Qatar but he didn't want to leave his family. Wonder what had happend if he was there against Argentina, Noppert wasn't a penalty killer.

Imagine if Costa Rica outmatched Krul and won that shootout, that would’ve been something.

En el 1er penal el arquero de Holanda se adelantó.

pause at 0:43

When Krul does it everybody cheers, when Martinez does it they hate him and they change the rules of the game 🫠

💪💪💪💪💪

7:15 xD

Poker move

Keylor Navas increible

I’ve always randomly thought about these penalty kicks, ever since I saw them, live. I think this is the first time I’m watching it back, since then. When I thought about them, three things always stuck with me: 1. The gutsy call by the Dutch boss to sub his starting GK for one off the bench 2. The camera panning to Cilissen, right after he got subbed, showing him kicking a garbage can. 3. Bryan Ruiz missing - just watched this right now. Var would’ve called for a retake on this. Both of Krul’s feet were off the goal line, while the shot was being kicked.

Hm, European = heroics, Latin American = anti-Dibu rule. Interesting.

The "Ace card" from Dutch

What happened to Costa Rica versus Spain in 2022 World Cup they lost 0 to 7

Contra a Argentina, na semifinal, ele não entrou. Acho que teria defendido também .

😢

They were hyping this goalie up like he's impossible to beat in penalties and then they didnt put him in vs Argentina
