I know you fancied Belgium from the outset. Was going through this thread from page one just to see what the guys fancied before the tournament started, and those that are still standing. I do fear Belgium big time, was not overly impressed with their earlier performances, but the appear to have hit their straps at the right time. All the best {extends arm for a friendly hand shake}.

Interesting that Costa Rica were not beaten by the sides ranked 7,9,10&11 in the world yet the side ranked 15 is less than 6/10 to settle it in 90 mins!
I do feel that Holland will probably qualify but, on form, I have to lay a little 6/10 that they might not manage it in 90 mins!

If the Netherlands score first in the first half, it will result in an open game with CR chasing and total goals will be 3 or more.

Costa Rica seem very nervous - not as tight as previous and a lot if stray passes- Dutch look as though scoring is inevitable!
