I mean Costa Rica are under the cosh a bit, but they're not 'doffing their caps'. They're well organised and determined. Unlike France and Belgium were.
I think Depay might be the key. They are defending brilliantly against van Persie and Robben, but eventually they will forget about Depay. The boy is good (alas).
Holland will score in the end, I'm sure, (or maybe not that near the end), and probably more than once, but Costa Rica can attack on the break, and Holland's defence can be got at.
You see what I want is for Costa Rica to step it up like they did against Italy, score a couple, control the game, etc., etc. Why shouldn't they? Holland aren't really all that.
Had to leave the pub, as some vacuous head-shaver (tautology) was insisting on playing a standard US violence/swearing film on his tablet. Still, it means that I can watch the second-half drinking Cumbrian gin...
I look forward to seeing Joel Campbell on loan at Wigan or Blackburn next season. There's no chance Wenger will consider him good enough to get a game for Arsenal.
