#4 Substitutes GK for a penalty shoot-out at 2014 FIFA WC
With Netherlands and Costa Rica heading for a penalty shootout in the quarter-final of FIFA WC 2014, Louis van Gaal would make a shocking substitution in the final minute of extra time – replacing goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen with Tim Krul. With the eyes of the whole footballing world watching and weighing up this move, Krul would go on to be the hero – saving 2 penalties to see his side through 4-3.
Whether through sheer luck or a master stroke, Tim Krul and his mind games will live on as one of van Gaal’s greatest moments in international football.
