Van Gaal explains Krul substitutionpublished at 08:37 British Summer Time 6 July 2014
Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal says Tim Krul's greater height and reach was the reason he sent the Newcastle keeper on for the World Cup quarter-final penalty shootout win over Costa Rica.
Krul, who is 6ft 4in (1.93m), replaced the 6ft 2in (1.87m) Jasper Cillessen with seconds remaining in the 0-0 draw.
"There is no question about who will start next game, it will be [Jasper] Cillessen. But we felt Krul was the better choice here," said Van Gaal.
"We told Krul that he would be a possibility for the penalties, but we didn't tell Cillessen, as we didn't want to ruin his preparations. We have practised penalties - I believe when you're used to a certain shot you'll be more comfortable taking that shot. It worked out - that was beautiful. I'm a bit proud of that."
Costa Rica leave 'with heads held high'published at 08:30 British Summer Time 6 July 2014
An emotional Jorge Luis Pinto said he was proud of his players after Costa Rica's quarter-final shootout defeat by the Netherlands.
"We leave the tournament unbeaten and with our heads held high," said the Costa Rica coach.
"It can happen to make mistakes in a shootout and we did all we could against great players. It's true we defended well and were also a little fortunate, but we had faith in ourselves. There can be a bright future ahead, but we need to analyse and understand the situation calmly."

Former England defender"Manchester United fans will be buzzing to see Louis van Gaal making big decisions like that and them coming off. They will be thinking: 'What a manager we have got coming in'.
"I would have thought Jasper Cillessen knew before the game that he would be taken off for a penalty shootout. His reaction to Tim Krul's saves shows you the spirit in that squad - it was all about the team going through and he knows he will start the next game."

In a World Cup described by many as the best ever, the drama reached new heights in Salvador on Saturday - and all from 12 yards.

Dutch coach Louis van Gaal took the unusual step of substituting his goalkeeper, Jasper Cillessen, and sending on Tim Krul. It could scarcely have worked out better.
Here is the story of the shootout told through the eyes of Match of the Day's punditry team.
