Tim Krul and the Greatest Substitute Ever Made | The Long Walk On FIFA+ 

"ITS KRUL FOR NETHERLANDS,ITS CRUEL FOR COSTA RICA" One of the best commentaries in the World Cup

Louis van Gaal had plenty of moments of brilliance during that World Cup. That flexible 5-3-2 formation put Spain into a lot of trouble, and then he made a few switches to use Dirk Kuyt and Daryl Janmaat to mark Alexis Sánchez individually against Chile. Then in the Round of 16 against Mexico, he put Huntelaar especially for the penalties, and it came in handy for that infamous Robben dive. And then this happened.

An unforgettable night for real. One of the most intense games of WC 2014 for sure!!

"It's Krul for the Dutch it's cruel for Costa Rica" is one of the coldest on the spot improvisation lines ever!

I remember watching this in a local pub. What a great penalty shootout it was

Louis Van Gaal didn’t deserve the criticism he got at Man U. The guy’s an ingenious manager and deserves success with the Netherlands

as a Costa Rican we will remember Tim Krul forever negatively :(

Krul introduced himself to the world

He actually selected a specific penalty killer this time aswell. His name os Andries Noppert, he's 6"6 and plays for a mid table team in the dutch league. He's a penalty specialist, just like Krul. Quality wise, we had atleast 3 better goalkeepers that weren't selected, so the assumption is that this one is only for penalties aswell.

Even though Costa Rica lost and I am Costa Rican, this game is legendary, it was such a tight game, both teams fought to the end to get the win, I could not take my eyes off of the TV, this is the kind of game fans dream of. Hopefully we will see more of that in this 2022 world cup. Best of luck to the Netherlands team, or as we call them in Latin America "La Naranja Mecanica" which loosely translates to "The Orange Machine", they are one of the teams I always like to watch in the world cups.

Love Tim Krul he served us geordies well

Went back to college after the summer, played fifa with a friend and chose the netherlands. Put krul in goal cuz i was like "ah, just in case it goes to penalties". And it did and i pulled a krul myself by beasting that shootout lol.

The Netherlands v Argentian shootout was bizarre for the Dutch. Why Ron Vlaar was the first to kick was beyond me.

Really appreciated the explanation of the distraction tactics and the empiric data on it. Just 10 minutes in the limelight but that's all he needed to be immortalised.

This moment is legendary. My family and I still talk about it sometimes. I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

One of my all time favourite world cup moments

This Dutch team was really something else. So much talent and an incredible run. Very much team to watch.

In Tim Krul we trust!

Best world cup I've seen so far (from 2002) each & every match was delightful

If he only didn't refuse to participate in the WC... Imagine how it might have turned out with the penalties... (He refused because he didn't want to do a goalkeeper test/training with van Gaal)

Van Gaal wanted to win in the extra time to avoid penalties. That's why he brought in Huntelaar. He used up all his substitutions and couldn't bring in Krul for the penalties.

As a Norwich fan love krul phenomenon phenomenal keeper one of the best to play for us

For my old 11 a side team I was part of a penalty shootout. To be honest I wasn't one of the chosen 5 to take a penalty but it ended up going to sudden death. Their keeper was a lot better than ours, he was like early 40's but a real veteran, Allan McGregor type guy so I knew I needed to place the ball with power to beat him. He seemed to know exactly where everyone was going to put their shots so I decided to shoot with my weaker foot since I didn't exactly know which way I would go I figured he probably wouldn't either. It worked, sent him completely the wrong way but I hit the post. I hate taking penalties.

I was so happy for him when he saved the penalty I cried. What a moment!

These techniques like trash talk and visual distraction really do work. As GK i once read about it and did same in my school team zonals. I remember i saved 3 penalties. You need to once get in the shooter's head and then watch knees and non striking foot position. Obviously it doesn't always work it's just an approach and not a cheat code cuz at higher levels where there are pros like Ronaldo, Kane they will most likely score.

"it's Krul for Netherland, and Crueler for Costa Rica" Absolutely beautiful

As a Costa Rican, I still haven't forgave him

I watch both of these matches in 2014. I was surprised at the decision of sub-ing a gk. Then as an argentinian fan in the semi I was not hopeful about Romero but I was hopeful because Tom wasn't there.

That Costa Rica team was stuff of dreams

Well, as a Greek dude, watching Tim Krul save those penalties made me extremely happy. Costa Rica broke my heart when they beat Greece on penalties so it felt like justice to me when they went out on penalties too.

Love from faridpur Bangladesh 👉🔔❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩

Best thing about this was that Vorm actually had a better penalty record than Krul, van Gaal was playing mind games with Costa Rica and it worked. Edit: I wrote this comment before watching the video fully, and this fact was mentioned at 2:58

what a great interview. love the ending. well done fifa.

Bryan Ruiz was phenomenal during the wc2014

I love the way they flip from English to Dutch without any subtitles. I don't speak dutch

one of the biggest mistakes in sport is not choosing Krul on the shootouts vs Argentina.

I remember watching this game as a Mexico fan rooting for Costa Rica and when the change was made I immediately knew something was up

Ever since I was a kid I would always think of the same thing. You’re allowed 3 goalkeepers and most only ever use 1. Why not have specialist or options

Krul is the most under appreciated goalkeeper ever. We didn't deserve him.

Legendary moment!

One of the best days in my life

With him they had won the penalty shootout vs argentinia

I remember this moment and the whole build to him arriving at United. Knew as soon as I saw this, he had a master plan here

I remember that match so well. That performance was on another level

This moment is definitely up there with Italy/France in 2006

4:37 Krul:I know you Ruiz:Yup , we can be friends

Great clip. Just watching it and listening to what they say get me really nervous like being in their positions.

the most underrated keeper of all time

Love the subtitles

This is the first time I’ve every heard Van Gaal, speaking Dutch lol

Great journey

As a Toon fan I was going mental watching this shootout. I was so happy for Krul.

Great short video, thanks FIFA

HEROICS tim Krul.

Maravillosa jugada :(

Wow,I remember this game and I was shouting why Krul wasn't used again and I'm Aussie.

Este Mae es muy querido en Costa Rica 😂😂 no son bromas en Costa Rica lo odian 😎👊🏻

tim krul was on fire that season

Lvg has just taken some 6.6 ft gk from sc Heerenveen. His name is Andries noppert. Its very likely that guy is to become the next penaltykiller for Netherlands, kind off a joker card like Krul was.

Iconic World Cup moment

Our keeper!

Netherlands finally got the taste of their own medicine against Dibu Martinez's Argentina 2022

Physiological trick The Netherlands prepared well for the Costa Rican Shooters 👍👍👍 So happy Netherlands won🇳🇱♥️♥️♥️

Thanks for information 🇮🇩

Toon legend!

Van Gaal jonge. Wat een wissel was dit🙌

That was epic….. one for the books

I think it's quite remarkable to note the double standard between how a lot of people approach what Krul did on that game compared to what they said about Dibu on the games vs the Netherlands and France. If a European guy does it, then that's perceived as being part of his preparation and his genius. If a South American guy does it, it's viewed in a totally different way.

Yeah that was brilliant sub

Tim Krul, best goalkeeper.

Great moment

This was the moment I trust that Louis van Gaal can win the WC. He knows players

I saw this live and we were so baffled at this Sub But we were more baffled how well this Sub was. Experience do beat fitness under huge pressure

KILLERR!! 🔥🔥🔥

Cost Rica was one step away from reaching the semi-finals of a World Cup, think about that for a moment.

Louis van gaal : RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!

Why's this legendary commentator not at the current 2022 world cup

Such an iconic moment. Still doesn't beat Ricardo taking his gloves off and defending a penalty that put Portugal trough England in 2004.

As someone who drew Costa Rica in the World Cup sweepstake, this broke me.

When it works he's a genius and when it doesn't he's a madman

For those people who don't watch football its like Mahendra Singh Dhoni turning to Joginder Sharma rather than Harbajan Singh for THAT last over during the 2007 world cup final... Krul i am sure will be remembered for years just for this one substitution...

Forever etched his name in football folklore… legendary…

This reminded me of the Emi Martinez masterclass at the 2022 world cup!

It was awesome. I have a fantastic cat named Jasper Cillessen - He’s oranje and he can’t stop a penalty, either.

Imagine if van Gaal had put Krul in for the penalty shootout against Argentina. That might’ve made the difference for them and we might’ve seen a Germany-Netherlands World Cup finals. While Germany would’ve probably still won, it’s crazy to think that the Dutch came so close in 2 world cups back to back

I'm gunna be that guy; this dude comes off his line early for every pen he ever faces.

Deserves to be playing for them rn

Whats a night for Krul, Memorable save for Netherland

⚽ Tim Krul 🇳🇱 best performance WC 2014 VS Costa Rica ⚽

Awesome video, keep them coming, they bring back all the nostalgic moments from the 1990s

How I wish I could go back to 2014

All hail Krul and his glorious new Regime.

Genius

I remember thinking this was so bad to Jasper, but Krul pulled it off, you just had to give to Van Gaal, it was brilliance and ballsy to make that decision.

So relevant

Did the same thing for Norwich against spurs in the FA Cup too

I love how you can hear a Geordie accent coming through

La sustitucion mas recordada por nosotros los ticos.

Probably the only time in a shootout where the keeper was under as much pressure as the taker!
