Netherlands enters the Quarter-Finals of the World Cup tournament after defeating Mexico by a score of 2-1 in the "Round of 16" on June 29. Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal is hoping his squad can build upon his team's recent performances.
"I have to give credit to my players: I think they were in much better shape and much more focused than our opponents. They never stopped believing, right to the end. They showed belief and a lot of confidence. We took advantage of the water break to tweak our system and created loads of chances, some of them denied by the woodwork and others by a keeper who has been fantastic. [Wesley] Sneijder is one of the most on-form players in my team: he's the one who covers most kilometers and his technique is outstanding," said van Gaal to reporters.
Costa Rica recently defeated Greece in a hard fought match that ended 1-1, with Costa Rica winning 5-3 in penalty kicks in the "Round of 16" stage.
Costa Rica's goalie Keylor Navas gives all the credit to God for his tremendous performance versus Greece on Sunday.
"I'm happy and grateful to God for this feeling after another important win for us and the whole country. It was not an easy game at all, and while there were times when we had control, there were also periods when the opposition were on top. Obviously being a man down made a difference, but we never gave up. As for my save at the end, I can't remember what was going through my mind. All I did was react and keep it out. You can practice penalties and study what the takers do, but I have to hand it to my team-mates, who were 100 percent on target. We're making history and we want to have a place in people's hearts forever," said Navas to reporters.
