Chapter 1230 Chapter 1221: The Netherlands VS Costa Rica, a header shot, leading by one goal!
Although Brazil won, Neymar was injured in the game, which made Brazilian fans worry.

After the game, the Brazilian team announced that Neymar suffered a torn muscle and would definitely not be able to participate in the semi-finals, which dealt a heavy blow to Brazil.

The two semi-final teams in the upper half were selected, and people turned their attention to the lower half. Can the Netherlands meet Argentina in the semi-finals? Will Chen Fan and Messi have a chance to confront each other on the stage of the World Cup?
If both the Netherlands and Argentina reach the semi-finals, who will have the last laugh?
For the two of them, this is a World Cup for the king.

Although Chen Fan helped the Netherlands win the World Cup in South Africa in 10, he was not well-known all over the world at that time.

According to his current status in international football and his achievements in the European arena, he only needs to win another World Cup to become a new generation of football king.

As for Messi, he has proved his strength at the level of the world champion in the European arena, but without the World Cup champion, he will never be crowned king.

At one o'clock in the afternoon on July [-]th, the Brasilia National Stadium was crowded with people, and the battle between Argentina and Belgium started on time!

The last time Argentina reached the semi-finals dates back to the 1990 World Cup in Italy. In that World Cup, Argentina entered the final again under the leadership of Maradona.

It's a pity that they lost the last goal to the German team and failed to defend their title.

Of course, some people think that Costa Rica may beat the Netherlands in an upset, because this is a game held in the Americas, and they have the advantages of timing, location, and harmony.

The Guardian predicted: "Unsurprisingly, the Netherlands will win this game, because the whole world wants to see a direct dialogue between Chen and Messi in the World Cup.

Two hours after the quarter-final match between Argentina and Belgium, the match between the Netherlands and Costa Rica began at the new water stadium in El Salvador!

After the start of the game, the two teams were quite cautious, because the two teams had never met in the big game.

As time went on, the Netherlands gradually took possession of the ball at their feet and launched an attack on Costa Rica.

In the 8th minute of the first half, Chen Fan took the lead. After receiving a pass from Sneijder in front of the penalty area, he played a two-on-one with Van Persie, and suddenly shot!
The football blasted towards the left side of the goal like a cannonball!

Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas jumped up and bravely saved the football to the bottom line.

Four minutes later, the Netherlands made a comeback, Robben cut in front of the penalty area and shot the ball just wide of the goal!
In the 203rd minute of the first half, the Netherlands created the best chance to score. Sneijder made a long pass near the center circle.

Navas bravely blocked the football with his left hand!
"boom!……"

Fight back quickly!
Chen Fan kicked the ball over the header, and the football flew past the Costa Rican defender and headed for the frontcourt!

Like a bolt of lightning, Robben overtook the Costa Rican defender to control the football, and headed towards the Costa Rican penalty area like lightning!
One-handed!

The air in the stadium was tense and suffocating. The Dutch fans saw the hope of scoring, while the Costa Rican fans felt extremely dangerous.

Robben raised the toe of his left foot, and the football flew up from the turf, flew over Navas' head, and flew towards the goal!

The Dutch fans waited, ready to cheer, while the Costa Rican fans smelled death.

"Pong!..."

An unbelievable situation happened, the football hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area!
"boom!……"

There was a loud noise in the stadium, Robben covered his face in pain, and he missed the Netherlands' best chance to score.

Surprise appeared in Navas' eyes, and he quickly ran towards the football, and he wanted to hold the football in his arms.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the left side of his field of vision, and this figure was about to overtake him!
Navas was shocked, and instinctively stretched out his hand to pull the figure's jersey.

The next moment his left hand brushed past the jersey!
