Oh My God! was the expression that came to mind when I saw Russia play the Dutch. Play? sorry they literally took the Dutch apart in every aspect of the game..whether it was pace, attacking the ball, playing from wide or just running straight down the center; they did it all and with aplomb! In extra time the Russian simply out ran the Dutch and deservedly won the game. Van Basten's side looked like a 33+ year old team that simply couldn't keep up with the Russian renaissance.....Can't wait for the semis now to see the Russians have a go at the Spanish armada...Spain with all its talent, flair and attacking style of play much like the Dutch will be wary of this Russian side that seems to have been infused with extreme passion and belief. This isnt the same side in spirit that Spain beat earlier in the tournament 4-1.
My vote come on ROOS!
