Costa Rica's Louis van Gaal's surprising goal on Saturday produced a bizarre quarter-final in the tournament in Brazil.
Very little people had faith that Costa Rica would make it through the tournament's top stage, given the fact that it's a small isolated South American country. Costa Rica though, surprised spectators with its winning moves that enabled it to advance to the next levels of the tournament. Joel Campbell and Bryan Ruiz could not beat the challenges of Jorge Luis Pinto's two goals and score of 5.
Costa Rica has yet again, reached the round 16 of the tournament, just like how it did in 1990. The team next tackles Netherlands, a team that poses challenges, with several victories against other leading teams under its belt.
The 2010 finalists produced victorious Spain, at the end of the whirlwind tournament. The team's counter-attacking style was questioned, in a win against Chile, combined with two late goals and Dirk Kuyt's left-back strike.
Fans ceased to empathize with Oranje Arjen Robben's diving in the last-16 tie drove fans away. Fans seek to empathize with the underdog team, who obviously suffered injustice against the opponent team. Several fans feel that things need to equal when it comes to competing in the matches, and no one team should take advantage of the other team's vulnerability.
Authorities in FIFA seek to rectify this unjust sporting move. The organization wanted the fans to feel that they can always count on the fairness in the field when it comes to watching a FIFA match.
