Twitter world goes in frenzy as Crossbar makes max number of saves

Not only Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas, the post and the crossbar too come in the way of the Dutch in their quarter final clash. Fans liven up the buzz on Twitter following the standout performance from the woodwork.

Netherlands enjoyed 64% of the possession against Costa Rica but could not beat the lower-ranked team in normal and extra-time.

The Dutch finally defied their dodgy history to subdue the plucky Costa Ricans in a penalty shootout, but would feel they could have won in regular play.

Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Nevas made multiple heroic saves. The Dutch, however, will be more aggrieved about the post and the crossbar.

Diminutive Dutch midfield star Wesley Sneijder struck the post and the crossbar once each.

Then there was a goal-line save, with a liberal dose of help from the crossbar again! The goal-bound shot went off Costa Rican midfielder Yeltsin Tejada’s leg to the crossbar.

Even as the deadlock continued, Twitter wits kept their tempo up. Here’s a look at the lively action on the microblogging site during the match.
