Euro Cup 2008

I'd say it's by quite a bit. Holland have been stale in their outfield play, the midfielders have not sparked in the way they did previously. They have none of the speed, nor swift passing that characterised their good performances. Russia on the other hand, minus a set piece frailty, have been attacking with speed and verve, as well has having the best scoring chances.

two pretty great chances for russia in the last 5 minutes or smth ...

 

[derek]

If every good chance had been scored by both teams, it'd currently be 8-2 to Russia.

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

looked pretty much penalty worthy for me ... without having seen the replay

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

ok, not a penalty i guess

ok, russia is way dominant now

 

[derek]

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[derek]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

dutch defense is worse than the german one

 

[derek]

This is the best thing to have happened all week.

 

[derek]

Arshavin is the best player in the world. I can't think of anyone better just now.

 

[Anvil]

Wow, HORRIBLE dutch defense...

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

ok... it's done now 3:1 lol

 

[derek]

More like Arshavin embarrassing them.

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

turkey and russia in the semi finals ... wow ...

 

[derek]

Completely and utterly outclassed.

 

[Anvil]

Russia totally stepped it up, and Holland lost their edge this game.

Russia's taking up where Holland would have continued.

 

[derek]

That was an education in total football to its inventors.

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

russia - italy could be an interesting match ...

 

[derek]

I think Russia would beat Italy. Beating Spain would be some task though.
