I am Dutch and my wife is Swedish. The Ruskies wiped the floor with both of our teams. I arrived at my office this morning to find an image of a hammer and sickle hanging on my door. So much for total football.
The Russians are young and fast and finished well. And they consistantly got goal side of the KNVB defenders. Van der Sar made some amazing saves and his defensive line deserves a good lashing. But much respect goes to the Russians. They've put together two great games. But the squad may miss a few players due to cautions in Saturday's game.
I was very glad to see Spain knock out the Italians. If it comes to penalties with the Russians, Spain clearly has the edge with Casillas.
