Quick note: In the 2014 World Cup quarter-final vs Costa Rica, Tim Krul was subbed on in the 120th minute without having played a single minute in the tournament. In the penalty shootout, he went on to save two decisive penalties (from Bryan Ruiz and Michael UmaΓ±a), securing the Netherlands’ 4–3 victory. Van Gaal’s bold decision remains one of the most iconic moments in World Cup history.
