    I couldn't believe it! The Dutch couldn't find a way through, I was surprised he didn't use Robben (was he injured?), as I thought he has looked very dangerous when he played, plus Russia asked a lot of questions of the Dutch defence, and if it hadn't of been for Van der Sar it could have been over a lot sooner, that said
    Russia look better and better with each game, which I guess is a testiment to not only the players (Arshavin is amazing), but to Guus Hiddink (you only have to look at S.Korea) and ultimately I guess it took a Dutchman to find an answer to Holland's game.

    I hope he isn't now vilified in the Netherlands, I'm sure he won't but the BBC/ITV commentators were banding the word traitor about (pah!)

    Sadly though if Russia do go on to win this, it will take a bit of the sting off England's pathetic qualification attempts!!

    I reckon a Turkey v Russia final, it just seems to be panning out like that!

    • i think after the pain eased down a lot of Dutch people are proud on Hiddink and envious with the Russian team..janne76
