Great performance from the Dutch last night. Their games are always great entertainment, I'm rooting for the Oranje. :up:

hells yea, Netherlands have kicked a lot of ass this time.

Fortunately for me, Russia squeezed into the quarterfinal... to face the Dutch.
Seemed like everyone had high expectations of them Russians, but they've not lived up so far, they just barely passed in their group. I think NL will end up swiftly kicking them out of the tournament next game :(

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA


TOO MANY LITTLE MEN ON THIS TEAM :uhoh:



(seriously, that was an AWESOME game. I didn't expect it to end that way, in fact after the Dutchies tied it I thought it was the end, but two goals in 5 minutes in the last time, when I thought the Russians were about to die on the field, there they went!)

PS, BBC says "destroyer-in-chief Arshavin". I tend to agree :o

I should say, this was the best game I've seen in a long, long time. And I don't mean just cause the Russians won. The Dutch had a great team, and they were way more organized than the Russians. The Russians were just a bit more aggressive on the attack, and let's face it, having a Dutch coach probably helped them prepare a strategy to create opportunities. They had more opportunities by the end of the game, and with tiredness setting in after the 110 minute point, probability finally did its job.

Stupid Russians... where the hell did they come from? I didn't expect them to even get out of pool play.

Um.

Actually I was surprised they did so poorly at the beginning. The Russians have been tipped as an exceptionally strong team this year. I think it would've been very stupid to expect them to have done poorly. Although I should say I thought for sure the Dutch were unstoppable.

Otherwise, Russians and soccer? Let's not forget UEFA Cup, which was won by Zenit St. Petersburg this year. With giant amounts of money from whales like Gazprom being pumped into Russian football in the last 3-4 years, I would say Russia is going to be a major force to reckon with in this sport in a few years' time. They have popularity, official support, money, and help from foreign talent (especially in management/coaching) to build up a strong domestic soccer base rapidly. So watch out, etc.

Come on, they barely qualified. Russia squeaked by that power house Andorra (yes.... sarcasm) and still needed Croatia to win in England. It's true... group D was not the strongest... but with Arshavin suspended first two games I really figured Russia was done and I'm not the only one.

Congrats Germany!

The Turks put up a good game, but as usual, the cautious if determined German approach got their results. Not very impressively though.

Admittably, when it tied with 10 minutes to go I was a little worried... Germany shouldn't have let them to get that close to beating them.

PS - trying to keep my healthy skepticism for tomorrow so I don't expect too much... honestly, I think Spain are the ones with the best chance against both of their next prospective opponents now.
