Netherlands midfield enforcer Nigel de Jong will miss the remainder of the tournament with a groin injury.

Wesley Sneijder has been nursing a slight back strain picked up in the win over Mexico and will be assessed.

Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas should be fit despite missing training earlier in the week with a shoulder injury.

The Central Americans have defensive problems, with Oscar Duarte banned and Roy Miller out with a foot problem.
 

Fancy the Costas here ya know. The Dutch are prone to embarrassments.
 
after opening my World Cup sweep envelope earlier to discover I had Holland, my colours are well and truly nailed with the lunatics in orange.


Yay the Dutch!
 

Have a sneaky suspicion that all the crap that went on in Brazil v Colombia that was uncarded will suddenly be amarillo-time should Costa Rica play a physical match.
 

If the Dutch win today, could they be feasibly seen as the favourites? Brazil and Argentina still haven't clicked. Germany look strong, but if they were to come against the Dutch, you wouldn't bet against Van Gaal getting the better of Loew.

If it came to a Germany-Holland final I could see Germany nicking a goal early from a set piece and winning a dreary 1-0.
