Russia played their second best game at the tournament. The best would be against Holland!

HollandFan4life · 1 year ago

Holland should be worried, Ruissia is playing great, but Russia should also be worried! Cause Holland is playing magnificant!

LeFooty · 1 year ago

The main thing for every team is , do not under estimate the opponent team because it will make the team over confident.

:d

I'm a Russian fan and I'll enjoy Holland - Russia game. Thanks so much Guus, thanks to you Advocaat! You Dutch guys are great for Russia! We love Holland and it's super exciting to play such a splendid team in such long awaited quater-final!

If you guys win, you gonna become champions! :-)

Aww look at you being all homophobic. "I love Guus and I love Advocaat".

Can't you just say Dick? /:)

nohomo · 1 year ago

And Pavlyuchenko is a Russian Toni or whatnot. We'll see him waste his moments while Holland are going to be fruitful.

Chelsefan · 1 year ago

It was one of the best games I have ever seen!:)>-

The dutch are going to tear through Russia.

Mikhail · 1 year ago

We just call Dick Advocaat simply "Advokat" and Guus Hiddink "Goos". But that's a good point, he's name is sure cocky ;-) Gus said "it's not enough for him", he wants to beat the crap out of his own country squad. What a man he is!

Also watch Toni and Co (- Pirlo and Gattuso) getting pounded by Spain. Coming soon. :-)

rossijaaaa
rossiijaaaa
rossijaaaa
but if pavlyuchenko will waste moments with his colleges with holland, then we r pretty **** up, but if we consider that hollands defence isnt same as its attack, game could go both ways, depends who scores first
rassija vpered!

but CROatia - Hollannd (russia) is final..

dlan4327 · 1 year ago

Arsharvin and Pavlyuchenko Vs Sneijder & Van De Vaart. yeah I'll watch that. :d

Bigbird · 1 year ago

Russia played good today. They played exciting and pretty, kinda like the Dutch so it should be a fun game to watch. However sweden is a 2 or 3 man team and the oldest team in the tournament so the netherlands should be a real test.

Still a Ibra fan!!!

DutchFan · 1 year ago

Russia played a great game, as Holland did so far, so I am really looking forward to Saturday!

Roman pavlyuchenko must be the top scorer of euro 2008.He miss many change to score a goal.I hope he can score a lot of goal againts netherland because netherland will score many goal too.

gezbrady · 1 year ago

Well Done Russia! what a positive game they played. Even 1-0 up they still attacked and some great chances it really should have been more. Gus has the golden touch, or so it seems... Holland 4th 1998 World Cup, South Korea 4th 2002 World Cup, Australia 2nd Round 2006 World Cup and now Russia into the Quarters of Euro 2008.

BarryLiverpoolbenchwarmer · 1 year ago

Where did that performance come from? Unbelievably one sided! Brilliant!

wijs1 · 1 year ago

You guys are forgetting to mention that Hiddink is Dutch and knows the Dutch players very well. This can give Russia a slight advantage...even still, Holland will take it.

I can see why it was hard for England to qualify, Second Choice Steve, sure, but both Russia and Croatia are playing out of their skins in this tournament.

Kukubuku · 1 year ago

Great performance! BUT, how many chanced he needs this Pavlyuchenko?

Last year we won 4-1 against the same Russia with Guus Hiddink.. Russia is playing nice football and i respect them and Hiddink but we will still win i think ;) We are used to Italy, France and Romania so if we can beat all of them with more then 2 goals difference we can surely beat every team on this EC. Only teams that i think come close are Spain, Portugal and Italy of course and maybe Croatia

Shell · 1 year ago

Everybody is saying holland has a bad defence, which might be true. But with the great v/d Sar and the strikers also defending as a team the defending will be easier. Don't forget we are nr.1 on fairplay this championship until now and we have a 9-1 goalratio (against france, italy and romania) So that says enough about the defending of this squad

dsl · 1 year ago

it's funny because I believe this match will be more "interesting" at least than any of the other Dutch matches because they are playing a team with a similar style vs teams that play a generally more defensive-minded game from their group. However I don't see them losing. It will be fun to watch though.
As for this match, very well done by Russia. They really outplayed the Swedes and it was quite suprising to me because if someone asked me earlier where I would put my money I would have said Sweden but not anymore...

I'd like to see more games of russia and holland against other teams, too bad they meet so soon.

Hendri · 1 year ago

Awesome!

Guus Hiddink, survived with every national team the groupphase.

Netherlands in ‘98(semi final), South Korea in ‘02(final), Australia in ‘04(Quarter final but they deserved more against Italy) and now with Russia in ‘06. That’s not an accident! My deepest RESPECT for this man! Again, what a suberb effort!

Perhaps biggest trainer ever, every land he visit makes it to the finals! Holland watch out! Cause the way their playing is unpredictable! Perhaps the same as Holland, great combiniations and demonstrations of counter attack!

It is going to be tough for Holland, that’s for sure!

Well done, Guus!

nohomo · 1 year ago

:d Are you saying he has made it to the quarters of Euro 2004 with Australia? And I'm pretty sure S Korea weren't in the 02 final.

I also think it's 2008, thought the name of the tournament gave it away in some form.

Akuma · 1 year ago

Yes to be fair Russia and Croatia both have a lot of desire to win and are teams that would never give up easily.

danman · 1 year ago

It should be Netherlands in '98 WC semifinals (awesome team, lost to Brazil on penalties), Korea in '02 WC semifinals (beat Spain and Italy controversially, lost to Germany), Australia in the knockout stages of '06 WC (beaten by Grosso "dive" according to Australians), and Russia in '08 Euros. Fabulous record.
