What the local media say

“Costa Rica awoke in a euphoric daze,” muttered a massively hungover Tico Times, “after its beloved team become one of the eight best in the world. Facing incredible odds, they showed unmatched tenacity and determination. 4.8 million Costa Ricans flooded the streets. The party lasted all night. A proud president who upended half a decade of traditional political rule celebrated with his people.”

哥斯達黎加時報報道“在國足挺進世界杯八強之后，哥斯達黎加終于蘇醒了”，“面對巨大的差距，球隊表現(xiàn)出了超凡的堅韌和決心。480萬哥斯達黎加人涌上街道，徹夜狂歡。總統(tǒng)也打破了政治慣例與民眾一起慶祝。”

The Dutch were too relieved to go on the lash. “Holland is through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup and it’s nothing short of miraculous,” wrote a heavily perspiring Algemeen Dagblad. “Not Oranje, but Mexico were the more dangerous side. The final six minutes were the Miracle of Fortaleza.”

荷蘭《共同日報》表示“荷蘭已經(jīng)挺進世界杯四分之一決賽，一切都那么不可思議。比起橙衣軍團來說，墨西哥才更危險。比賽最后6分鐘可謂是‘福塔萊薩奇跡’。”

Key battle: Arjen Robben vs Keylor Navas

關鍵對位：羅本VS納瓦斯

The Ticos would probably not have made it to extra-time, let alone penalties, without their superb glovesman, who beat away a late Gekas effort to stop the Greeks winning it at the death of normal-time, as well as pulling off a worldie against Dimitrios Salpingidis earlier in the game.

正是由于納瓦斯在緊急時刻撲出耶卡斯的射門，才使得哥斯達黎加在常規(guī)時間內鎖定勝局。如果沒有這一神奇撲救，哥斯達黎加很可能在加時賽甚至點球大戰(zhàn)中失利，而且他在開賽不久成功撲出了迪米特里奧斯·薩爾皮吉迪斯（Dimitrios Salpingidis ）的世界波。

His palms will probably have steam coming off them by the end of this one. Robben had a quiet first half against Mexico – a good penalty shout being his best contribution – but in the second period he was relentless, winning 4 out of 5 take-ons, creating 4 chances and securing the crucial spot-kick.

這場四分之一比賽過后，想必他將汗?jié)袷终啤Ｔ诤商m對陣墨西哥的比賽中，羅本上半場表現(xiàn)平平，只貢獻了一記點球，但是下半場像換了一個人，4次傳中、4次創(chuàng)造機會并獲得了那一記制勝點球。
