Please.... let it end in extra time.... penalties are like the lottery system.....
This is the first time I saw a referee does that. Very brave of him.
If it goes to penalties, will Holland break the curse?
Hmm..The better team didn't win, yet. I felt it was a spirited performance from the russians...Such a tatical master class from hiddink yet again...
Wonder what he've been saying to his team...Such a different team from the one that got drubbed by spain...
Go russia go...
Kolodin's long-range shots are a delight to watch.
holland seems exhausted
Arshavin is really impressive too ... lives up to the hype ... Darting runs and shimmys and also the part he plays in Russia's goal ...

x2.
They're leaving holes in their defence as a result.... which the Russkies are pretty quck to exploit.

Playing a high-tempo game for 120 minutes is really tough.
Aiyaya.
Why like that?
wa lau.
Guess Russia are going through to the semi-finals.
Russian back in front =D
Brilliant work by Arshavin to set up the goal
GOAL!
Okay.... now the Dutch are really screwed.
In ther exhausted state, they've got six minutes to pull one back.
WTF?!?!?!?!?! ![]()
3-1 !
Arshavin definitely the MOTM
now is 2 ![]()

They are really exhausted.
Maybe they used up too much energy during the group games.
Wah lau.... I'm really sad to see Holland go....
They played some really entertaining football.
There's no shame in losing to Russia here..... the Dutch did play their guts out, but the Russians really stretched them pretty badly.
Another disappointing tournament for Holland.
So promising at the beginning...
so disappointing.
it's over
Perhaps Singapore can hire Hiddink to work his wonders with the national team.
Russia deserve to win with his flowing and counter-attacking football... Well Done to a Dutchman, ironically,
Can we see a Turkey vs Russia final?

That's abit anti-climax.
But the best team wins so who knows?

If the Sg Govt is really committed into getting singapore into the world cup sooner or later, they need to hire hiddink fast...and with LOTS of money.
Hiddink say he likes to take on challenges right, then lead singapore into the world cup!

Haha I think this maybe too big a challenge even for him.
