Di Maria on the right wing plays like Andros Townsend

some nice deliveries from vertonghen so far. is he sure he doesn't want to be a left back? would save us a few bob if he did. back 4 of walker kaboul vlad and JV is quite beastly

 

[Maccer]

Cracking finish by Higuain, as jimmyriggle says , some quality crosses from Vert, but nothing made of them, maybe Lukaku could benefit from them in the 2nd half ?

 

[Drewinho]

Should bring Lukaku and Dembele on. Origi is having exactly the same problems as Lukaku did because of the way Belgium play.

Vertonghen´s crossing is fucking superb.....shame he hates playing LB for us. Seems to thrive for them..

I just don't get why he doesn't like playing there. It's his best position IMO. & since he is paid by Spurs he should play where he's told to play without bellyaching. If he does leave...I wonder where his new club would play him & whether he'd complain...

Maybe its because our own LBs just don't seem to able to cut it skill or fitness wise and he was hired as a CB!

last bit right there looks like a bit of gay porn

You seem to be familiar with gay porn .....not that there is anything wrong in it..

CB is his best position, no doubt about it for me

After the first three knock-out matches, i'm hoping for some more entertainment this game! Thank god we're playing 4-3-3 again. 5-3-2 against CR would have been embarrassing IMO. Line-up:

I used to think that, but at LB he's got more of a license to get forward, and he can really do some damage in the opposition half IMO.
I think for a 'defender' he's got really good natural skill on the ball, it just seems wasted if he sits back all the time.

Kuyt at RB - what a player

Great team player, very under rated when at the scousers, you only miss him when he's gone !

I think he just wanted to play centre back at the world cup and realised that wasn't going to happen if he was playing club football at left back.

I also think he would've moaned until sherwood was gone anyway.

Geez the dutch could have given a penalty away a couple of times tonight, especially during the set pieces

 

[ArtyB]

Can't help but think that after seeing van Gaal's difficulty in finding a way to break down a defensive team he would have been a perfect Spurs manager.

 

[Melspurnian]

Why costa rica took off their most dangerous player for a guy who hasn't scored in over 2 years at club level i will never know

 

[Joe Clash]

Don't fancy the Dutch if it goes to pens.
