I guess they are made by the same person. They all originate from the Tico Times online and print newspaper http://www.ticotimes.net/ first English speaking news source in Costa Rica since 1956.
Let's hope there will be plenty more to come!

Sneijder's freekick just reminded me about David Luiz's screamer for Brasil yesterday - I find it incredible that he got that much power kicking the ball with his instep!

Yeah, that bit was very good, but it reminded me of this
forgive me father for i have sinned...
..."go on" says the priest. "I swore the other day" says the man. "continue" says the priest. "I was on the golf course the other day and i hit my drive, it was looking perfect, heading dead straight. About 200 yards down my ball hit a power line crossing the fairway". "and this is when you swore?" asked the priest. "No father, my ball then ricocheted of the power lines and flew off into the deep rough" continued the man. "this must have been when you swore?" the priest exclaimed. "No father, not yet. As i was walking over to the rough to hit my second shot a hawk flew down from the trees, picked my ball up in his beak and proceeded to fly off with it" continued the man. "Ahhh I see" says the priest "this must have been the point where you swore" "Nope not yet, as the bird flew over the green the ball fell from its mouth and landed two feet from the hole" The priest pauses for a few seconds "you missed the fucking putt didn't you?".

My takeaway from this game apart from the fact that the keeper sub was a good one....
Robin van Persie's son is called Shaquille.

Back luck Costa Rica, but Holland deserved the win in the end.
Semifinals should be interesting. Europe vs South America. Messi vs Robben. I can see Brazil going out at this point, no Neymar, no Silva. The Brazilians will continue with their ugly football to try and get a result, but the Germans will handle that easily enough unless the ref is a lame as the last game. The other game is too close to call.
Brazil (toby.d)
vs
Germany (okem)
Holland (Bassie)
vs
Argentina (DOR)

What?He's married to a Muslim woman of Moroccan Dutch descent.
Who
a) did her third year abroad at LSU or
B) has a thing for baritones with a sense of humor.

so in the end the big boys all took care of business, and Holland also made it.
I think both Belgium and Colombia were a little overawed by the occasion, and their early defensive mistakes fucked them up for good. The ref in Brasil v Colombia match was an absolute disgrace though, that game would have been 1000x better if Fernandinho had received a yellow early on, and if the referee hadn't made a thousand stupid little calls that killed the flow of the match. Neymar getting zangiefed in the spine was a natural consequence of the shit ref never asserting any authority.
The semi-finals look pretty tasty though. Argentina aren't brilliant by any means but they're starting to look more comfortable and Messi is beginning to boss the game for longer periods, maybe he'll finally have one of those brilliant matches and tear the dutch to shreds? Brazil is going to turn the blood and thunder up another notch, I think that game will depend on how much the germans can resist in the first 15-20 mins. If they hold on long enough the mood will cool down and they'll have a good chance of winning. Lucky for them that Brasil already has a scapegoat in case of failure now, there's less expectation now.
Argentina v Brasil in the final though, that can only end one way:
