LETS HOPE NOW THAT THEY GO ALL THE WAY AND WIN THE EURO 2008 COMPETION! LONG LIVE THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION!

Answer 1

They were absolutely awesome. I particularly enjoyed the fact that their style was so offensive, technical, creative and fast. At the same time, they were considerably more polite than the Dutch team, which was quite violent in the beginning of the second half. It seemed to me that most of Russian fouls dealt with harmless stuff like holding people, whereas the Dutch often hit the Russians with their elbows in the face and things like that. The referee was decent, but at times it seemed that he favoured the Dutch team, so it's particularly pleasant that the Russians won in such a fair manner as they did. For instance, I think the foul against Zhirkov deserved a penalty. I liked his just gesture of revoking Kolodin's card, an act that excuses the referee, though the credit largely goes to the assistant referee.

The Dutch played very well as well. My heart stopped every time I saw Sneijder approach the goalposts, and van der Sar was quite impressive. Besides, it's sort of a partially Dutch victory as well, after all, they can relate to Guus Hiddink.

All the Russian players were really memorable and their personalities shined. Had the Russian team played like that when I was a teen, I would have probably got much more interested in football than I currently am.

P.S. People are cheering in the street, even though it's a quiet neighbourhood near a park, and it's late night (1:40 AM).

Answer 2

GO RUSSIA!!!!

They played a great game. I expected a high scoring match between the two teams. Maybe 4-3 or something. But if Russia can keep this up, then its off to a championship. Their next match will be tough though. Spain/Italy are good teams but if Spain wins, then I know Russia will seek revenge for that embarrassing loss. Im exicted for their next game. It's been a while since the Russian/Soviet Union soccer have done anything good in a tournament. This year their this hope and the way they've been playing, they can actually win EURO 2008.

Answer 3

All people are rejoicing due to our triumph!!! Russian team was strong and fought for every goal. I'm sooo happy that Russian football is getting better and they get experience during every game. I like their strategy because it seems that they always play logically. Holland used their physical strengh more. I was so nervous when I watched the last competition between them. Unfortunately many people thought that Holland would beat Russia, anyway believe or not Russia won!!! They were amazing. The forward Arshavin has showed us a fantastic football. Russian team is very young in spite of that they have big future trends. I hope Russia will force through next team and win Euro 2008!!!
