As another World Cup game was decided on penalties, these are the best tweets and jokes from Netherlands vs Costa Rica.
A thrilling period of extra-time and a valiant effort from the Central American darlings of the competition ensured that the final quarter-final in Brazil finished with style.
Holland eventually won the penalty shoot-out after the score was left at 0-0 by the end of normal time.
Experience the game all over again with the best tweets and jokes from Netherlands vs Costa Rica:

I'm all for Robben leading the Dutch gymnastics team in the next Olympics. One should be surprised if he doesn't win a gold. #NEDvsCRC

Football's much more fun to watch when it's played without a referee like Brazil v Columbia #NEDvsCRC

Netherlands clearly hoping to win tonight by boring the Costa Rica players to death #WorldCup2014 #NEDvsCRC

Not saying this match is dull but it's like watching England v England #NEDvsCRC

Clearly the goalposts were paid off by Costa Rica. That’s the best explanation for how #NED failed to score there. #NEDvsCRC

Ochoa + Howard + Navas should form their own superhero team. They’d save everybody. #NEDvsCRC (Thanks for pointing out I forgot Ochoa!)

Cillessen kept a clean sheet for 120 minutes and is going to be the 3rd most praised keeper from this match. #NEDvsCRC

Surely if Louis Van Gaal was such a tactical genius, #NEDvsCRC would never have gone as far as even Extra Time? #WorldCup
