Day 21: Netherlands vs. Costa Rica

[Dutch-Moroccan]

I think Belgium showed to much respect for Argentine.
Netherlands should easily win from Argentine... If di Maria (probably) and Aguero are out upfront only Messi scares me

 

[Tomassonl]

Eventhough Im Dutch, Im posting this trailer for the match some Costa Rican made. I can only imagine how they must be feeling over there and what a great atmosphere it must be:

[DomesticTadpole]

Well then. This is certainly different.

 

[kiwired]

We need at least one upset in these quarters.....

 

[Tomassonl]

I found the match Brazil - Colombia, and what Argentina just showed upsetting enough. I hope we get to see some quality goals from Robben and RvP now!

 

[FromTheBench]

We need at least one upset in these quarters.....

We need a upset in the knockout stage totally so far.

But not the dutch. As much as would like Costa Rica to go through the Dutch can challenge the other 3 teams i dislike better.

Plus Van Gaal and RVP factor.

 

[.Phil1968]

Hopefully we will see a good open game with plenty of goals. I'm expecting a 1-0 Dutch victory though.

 

[justboy68]

We might actually see an underdog side give it a real go in this game.

 

[DWelbz19]

Will there be anything on the right, like match updates or anything? It's just that all the cool stuff is at the top of the page and as people to continue to post, the right is just all white.

Got to get past CR first mate!

 

[Name Changed]

I don't want Germany to win.
I don't want Argentina to win, even though I bet on them.
I'd be disgusted if Brazil win.
My only hope is whoever wins tonight wins the whole thing. So Holland presumably.

Plus if that happens we have a World Cup winning manager for ourselves.

 

[Dutch-Moroccan]

I will give you the starting eleven in a few minutes

 

[Dutch-Moroccan]

Cillessen, Kuyt, de Vrij, Vlaar, BMI, Blind, Sneijder, Wijnaldum, Robben, Depay and RVP

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Cillessen, Kuyt, de Vrij, Vlaar, BMI, Blind, Sneijder, Wijnaldum, Robben, Depay and RVP

5-3-2, then.

 

[Cheech Wizard]

I'm left rooting for Holland now to win this whole thing, don't want any of the other three. Like some other have said I'll be surprised if the Dutch don't win this in normal time.

I think Costa Rica's rollercoaster has run it's course. But, if Costa Rica score first it might are things more interesting, I hope there's goals and late drama because the other quarter final games have been disappointing up to now I think.

 

[Dutch-Moroccan]

Depay-------------RVP---------------Robben
------------------Sneijder------------------
------------Blind-----------Wijnaldum-------
BMI---------Vlaar--------deVrij---------Kuyt
------------------Cillessen------------------

I think something like this

 

[Dutch-Moroccan]

5-3-2, then.

Van Gaal said they'll play 4-3-3

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Depay-------------RVP---------------Robben
------------------Sneijder------------------
------------Blind-----------Wijnaldum-------
BMI---------Vlaar--------deVrij---------Kuyt
------------------Cillessen------------------

I think something like this

I was thinking more like this:
-------------RVP------Robben-------------
-----Depay------Sneijder-------Wijnaldum---
-Blind------BMI-----Vlaar----De Vrij----Kuyt--
-----------------Cilessen-------------------

Edit: Saw your reply now, never mind.

 

[ThanksBoss26]

Interested to see how Depay does from the start.

 

[Dutch-Moroccan]

I was thinking more like this:
-------------RVP------Robben-------------
-----Depay------Sneijder-------Wijnaldum---
-Blind------BMI-----Vlaar----De Vrij----Kuyt--
-----------------Cilessen-------------------

Edit: Saw your reply now, never mind.

That's possible too. They had a discussion in the studio. Some are saying 5-3-2 other 4-3-3.
But van Gaal said 4-3-3, but he was very vague

 

[gooDevil]

C'mon Kuyt!

I feel dirty.

 

[ottosec]

Apparently 3-4-3 from LVG.

343, 532, 433. They're having more fun with their formations than the lads on here for our line up next season.

 

[shahab]

Blind was in the previous match really 'stupid'. Lots of times just Blind (ahahaha lolololo) shots from distance leading nowhere, while he had to space to pass to wingers like Robben.

Normally a smart player though.

 

[Spiersey]

Am I being really stupid or is only Holland's line up displayed in this new match day thing?

We don't care about Costa Rica enough.

 

[Damien]

Holland is representing United in the trial. Next season there'll only be United's lineup in the sidebar as it's too much work to do one for every team.

 

[Niall]

The match day section will only track United lineups, data etc. Managing every team United play is way too much work.

Holland are the standin team for United during this test.

 

[Niall]

Or what Damien said

 

[gooDevil]

I have to say I like a manager who is so comfortable with changing formations.

 

[shahab]

Why is Holland representing United?

Belgium has Fellaini ffs.

 

[Niall]

Why is Holland representing United?

Belgium has Fellaini ffs.

Couldn't fit all that hair in the player picture so had to go with the Dutch!

Was originally meant to be England but we didn't last long enough.

[Ish]

Gotta love LVG.

Great work modmins/Niall. New MDT layout & features looking great.

 

[Big-Red]

But...he plays for United.

 

[Niall]

But...he plays for United.

Don't remind us!
