    "Costa Rica know Robben wants to play on his left foot and they are not falling for it. Really good defending by Costa Rica, they have done their homework."

  2. We are at the stage now where one error could do it. One flash of genius, one tired touch, a goalkeeping howler...

    Stuart, Glasgow: Costa Rica. What sheer determination and spirit. Ultimate underdogs. Can't help but love them.

  4. The Netherlands have only been in one World Cup shootout - they lost it to Brazil in the semi-final of 1998.

    Costa Rica have won one from one - against Greece last Sunday.

  5. YELLOW CARD

    Players on ground injured

    Johnny Acosta in the book for baulking the run of Arjen Robben.

    "Klaas Jan Huntelaar will make the difference. Netherlands still just have to believe that they will get chances. They have dominated the game but you have to give Costa Rica credit and the goalkeeper has been magnificent.

    "Penalties are a lottery but psychologically Costa Rica might have the edge, because Netherlands will have tried everything."

  7. Got your 'Dirk Kuyt positional bingo' sheets to hand? Put a cross through right-back now. Dutch with a back four.

  8. Vote: Goalkeeper of the World Cup

    Keylor Navas may have had a blinder in this match but he's not done enough to be your goalkeeper of the tournament so far.

    Tim Howard's heroics have given him 30% of the vote for the World Cup's best keeper. Navas comes in second on 24%, while Mexico's Guillermo Ochoa is third on 22%. Full vote results on this page, thanks for voting.

  9. KICK-OFF

    Klaas Jan Huntelaar

    Klaas Jan Huntelaar on. Game back on.

  10. Former England midfielder Danny Murphy
    MOTD

    "Huntelaar coming on is probably half an hour too late. They can take a risk because it is not like Costa Rica have the legs to cause the Dutch many problems."

  11. Former England captain Rio Ferdinand
    MOTD analyst

    "Huntelaar is a goal scorer, if he gets a chance you can rely on him putting it in the back of the net. Good substitution."

  12. SUBSTITUTION

    Here's a change for the Dutch. Klaas Jan Huntelaar - who takes penalties - is on in place of Bruno Martins Indi.

  13. HALF-TIME

    Players come off at half-time

    Half-time! Are Netherlands heading for the 'Aztec curse?'

    The side which has beaten Mexico in the last 16 in the last four World Cups has always gone out in the quarter-finals...

  14. Crampy Costa Rica player

    We are into cramp territory now, players going down all over the field.

  15. Arjen Robben takes this free-kick and hits it tamely into the wall. Wesley Sneijder - who hit the post in the second half - looks suitably unimpressed.

  16. Former Ireland international Kevin Kilbane

    "Costa Rica are very tired and are just trying to kill the game, they're staying down if they are a bit injured. The manager will just be telling them to see it through because what an achievement it will be to take the game to penalties. And if they can win and knock the Dutch out. What a result that would be."

  17. Dutch free-kick again in another good area...

  18. Into the last 20 minutes of this tie. Twenty minutes from Lionel Messi. Twenty minutes from Sao Paulo.

    Or 20 minutes away from losing to Costa Rica...

  19. Louis van Gaal

    The Dutch look flat. Louis van Gaal pensive. Still no Klaas Jan Huntelaar...

  20. Former Ireland international Kevin Kilbane

    "Ron Vlaar is the wrong side of Marcos Urena, I don't think it is a penalty but the referee might have made the decision because of the side Vlaar found himself on."
