have to say that i thought Russia thought the Dutch a lesson in football last night. tactically better, more creative, more passion, much fitter, it was astounding.. They have improved so much from their opening game hamering against the Spanish. they might face them again in the semis id nearly fancy them to reverse form..

Spain Italy now is more chess, but interesting.. Italians are wiley old guys but are missing their two key players in midfield Pirlo and Gattuso. Spain usually choke when they are favoured, and have lost 3 times in a quarter final on penalties on June 22nd, in 1986, 1996 and 2002. Could it be 2008 as well?

What club team does he play for?
It may have been the horrible Dutch defense,
but I saw some hesitation moves I have never seen before.
He is extraordinarily gifted with the ball. He had to make
an impact on some professional team? (Unless the Dutch made him look good)

You got the matchup.

I hate the Italian's style so I am glad they lost.
Spain v. Russia should be much more interesting.
