I don't think Van Gaal was outcoached, heck I could have coached Costa Rica today, just play a high offside line and then counter-attack.
I thought the goalkeeping switch was a bit strange because in shootouts all the pressure is on the shooter. By making a change all of a sudden the pressure is on the keeper because if he failed the coach would look dumb. Also thought the Dutch were a bit slow, especially forwards lazy coming back causing a dozen offsides.
