Russia owned the Dutch, sad to say. The Dutch didn't have it together at all. When the Russians had the ball, they had the best footwork and when the Dutch had the ball ... they played like Austria (as much as that pains me to say).
Most deserved win for Russia, they had Netherlands in a tight grip almost the whole match ... very good defence by Russia blocking the Dutch offence ... i find it strange how Van Basten used up his substitutes so early, poor tactical decission ...
Congrats Russia

wouldn't surprise me tho if Robben is injured for the 5th billion time, like a news reporter said here "Robben is made out of sugar"
Van Basten had the formation all wrong, he needed to play attacking, 4-4-2 or even 4-3-1-2^*AlphA*^ wrote:
utterly fucking played, worst match ever....
the defenders shit, sneijder didn't show shit, same for van persie...
only good player on our side, van der Sar...

Deserved win for Russia. Pavlyuchenko and Arshavin will be at big clubs next year.
right defender. his wife gave birth way too early (complications) daughter died shortly after.CapnNismo wrote:

Dutch just had an amazing chance at a penalty kick. Amazing that they missed that.
Why are all the Dutch wearing black arm bands, though? Did someone from the royal family buy the farm?
Robben was out with a groin injury, he stretched it in the last match ...

The Austrian commentator kept saying how the Dutch would do almost nothing except play through the center. Meanwhile the Russians were sneaking around the side of the Dutch defense and that maybe the Dutch should try that.
Heitinga did some huge mistakes but Mathijsen sucked the whole match. Van Der Saar did good as always. I dunno what was with the Hollanders, they were so confident they will beat Russians that they started drinking Vodka before the match?^*AlphA*^ wrote:

our defenders have always sucked (after 2000), it is that Italy/France didn't have anything to bring in those matches....Sup wrote:

I miss Stam and De Boer brothers
Jens is envy on Ronaldo. Hes good, runs a lot and passes the ball nicely. Arse Shavin' ftw!Jenspm wrote:
Arshavin = my new favorite player.
He's fucking brilliant, and he isn't one of those crying pricks that use too much time on their hairstyle and whining and doing stupid unneaded tricks (yes, Ronaldo, I'm looking at you).
Abramovich, bring him to Chelsea. Please.
I'll be honest-i never like De Boer brothers, Stam was okay though. I dunno they just didn't seem that good to be playing for Holland, for Papua New Guinea maybe.^*AlphA*^ wrote:

still better then what we have now running there... 1 thing you shouldn't let De Boer do is taking penalties but at least he could put some free kicks in, corners whatever....Sup wrote:

not bashing the team after this match, but it's going like this for years on and on now.... great attackers but our defenders are like women playing tennis.
+ letting B teams play is bullcrap, who did it? Portugal = out, Croatia = out, Holland = out, and tomorrow Spain = out.
Turkey might just as well beat Ze Germans and if Italy beats Spain there will be no easy match for them against Russia ...^*AlphA*^ wrote:

Luca Toni will show his qualities tomorrow as he scores atleast two goals against a shocked Spain

LoL how the three teams who finished top of their groups are out...

Go Russia i would just like to applaud them, offense beats defense. Holland got stripped naked and exposed their defense was the akilles heel and everyone knows what happens when you have to start defend yourself all game you offense gets teared apart.
I hope Russia goes all the way unfortunely i think Spain will come through beat Russia and loose the final agianst boring Germans
