    Gutted. Awful team with a world class keeper. Hope the Netherlands pump them silly.

    I would feel bad for Greece but it's their own fault they didn't win in 90 minutes....so many wasted chances.

    Gutted for sammy but that's some achievement for Costa Rica. They're hard not to like

    A country of 5 million is in the last 8 of the world cup...gives us a little hope that IT CANT BE DONE

    Poor Greece, getting goals has been their downfall for years and it continues.

    Costa Rica are the surprise of the tournament for me. I didn't think they would get out of their group, never mind into the quarter finals. Reckon the Dutch will pump them though.

    Greece couldn't break them down with 10 men, Costa Rica were much better than Greece in the group stages, I have Joel Campbell in my fantasy footy team

    Feel for Sammy but happy with this overall

    9 times out of 10, Greece are boring as * to watch

    They don't even pass to Sammy enough when he's clearly one of their most dangerous players

    Love seeing the smaller countries going through, it's great. I know Costa Rica are the most exciting team to watch but Greece rip the * out of it. Defensive * with no excitement at all. Lucky to get to the last 16.

    Costa Rica work well as a team, they've got a couple of good players as well. Navas is top class, he'll get a move to a big club this summer probably. Would love it if Celtic got Ruiz but it's extremely unlikely.

    Sorry but this is a * way to end games .

    I don't give a * how long it takes , you play as a team , you lose in as a team .

    Bad enough the embellishing when someone gets touched , diving is brutal .

    * PK's

    Aye.

    Although penalty shoot-outs are quite exciting and tense, it's a poor way to decide matches.

    Take it back. Still gutted for Greece and thought they deserved it more (look at the statistics) but well done Costa Rica. Hope you do well. Some keeper you have there.

    Costa Rica weren't given a hope in he'll of getting out the group and they won it. They've not missed a penalty and kept Greece out with 10 men, fantastic acahivement for them.

    Particularly that moment in ET when they were like 5 Greeks vs 2 defenders...

    Can't understand why Samaras didn't take a penalty, considering he got them this far.
