I would've liked Holland to win as I've got them in my work sweep stake but bloody hell the Russians played well and 100% deserved the win. Well done to them.

Why not punch Mark Lawrenson, as he was the only tv commentator who went for Russia to win.
I doubt he'd quake with fear at a fat spotty virgin child though.

Gutted that Russia have a couple of suspensions for the Semi final. Would love to see them blitzkreig Spain or Italy en route to the final, which hopefully they still will do.

I was chuffed with the result because the better Russia & Croatia do/did in the competition the better it makes England look.

Holland were truely woeful,.schockingly bad. Totally devoid of ideas, spirit , passion or desire.

Have you noticed that 2 of the teams that are in the semi's (Russia,Turkey)
play with passion, team spirit and no fear of who the opposition are,which is something the big teams including England don't do.

Tonights performance agaisnt Russia. I thought Holland would give me a respite from England, but it was f***ing worse than England!
No spirit
No Passion
No togetherness
Nothing
I feared it, Hiddink knew how Holland clicks, and played his tatics well.
God I want to punch a russian!
You may have lost your Orange, but at least you still have your cherry.
How can you not love a team with a player called ARS HAVIN

I was watching the game last night with a Russian at 4am in the morning in Vietnam, I had a feeling from the beginning that Russia would win but when Holland equalised I thought they could have got to penalties, but Russia were playing very good football and I think they could go all the way to the final if they keep it up.

Agreed - and not least with Turkey, who have a squad desecrated by injuries and suspensions (that keeper was mental though, deserved to get sent off).
Now we'll have to watch the krauts walk to the final as usual, past a second-string squad of (what's generally considered) a third-string nation of football.
So far though, the team that make the play, have won the game. When Holland dominated so clearly, it was them making the plays and asking the questions - and let the opposition see if they could stop them. Last night, it was the other way around, as it was with the Turkey match (albeit a somewhat tenuous way to win)

'oo!?
I'm still gutted that Croatia have been knocked out, as I met a Croatian girl the other night who collected Panini Euro 2008 stickers.
I gave her my spare Fernando Torres, and later that night she showed me her Shaven Bilic.

I thought Russia were fantastic last night. Holland always start major tournaments well, but then struggle in the knockout stages. And that what happened last night, they never really got out of first gear. Maybe Belarhouz tragedy effected the whole squad?
