Oh yeah ... how come I missed out Kolodin, another star in the mid-field who gave nigtmares to the Dutch with his control and long range pile drivers.
Guys I miss Euro -no TV with me now. Superb Russia, Excellent job Hiddink
Hey
how about HIDDINK TO COACH INDIA ?
I'm sure he will lose his patience in the beginning, but if he succeeds that will become his biggest achievement and a great energizer for Indian football.
"We get so close near enough to fight When a russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body’s numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan " - Iron Maiden
PACY...CLASSY...SUPREMELY FIT...SUMS THE RUSSIANS...THE DUTCH WERE NO MATCH YESTERDAY...A DESERVING WIN...THEY OUTCLASSED THE DUTCH...EVEN IN THE EXTRA TIME, THE DUTCH REPEATEDLY FAILED TO KEEP UP WITH THEIR PACE...REALLY NICE TO SEE THE SLEEPING GIANTS OF EUROPE PLAYING SO WELL.
Being an Indian, i have always supported Russia. Great to see a resurgent Russian team. Russia, Indians are with you, keeping playing great football.Euro 2008 will be yours.
Come on Rams Russia was one of the tournament Favorites. They were untouchable through out the match , Leave some other day, they deserve to win yesterday, They had control of the ball through out the 120 Min except for few mins in last part of firth half. They were moving with great speed in the field.
If a weaker team upsets stronger team only to lose in the next round(semis here), Footballs becomes unattractive. But I am sure Russia is not like Turkey and are capable of beating Italy or Spain in the semis. Turkey-Germany match will be dull I suppose because of injuries and other problems in Team Turkey.
They are the dark horses of the tournament...i always supported russia whether they win or lose coz their football team always supported growth and training of indian footballers...russia hungary and rumania are friends of india...gus hiddink is a great coach wherever he goes the team starts playing well like korea, australia and russia. arshavin is superb. pavluchenko is prolific. russia is playing superb free flowing unselfish football thats why they are winning.
