Arshavin put up the best individual performance in this tournament during that match. He was BRILLIANT. I could not believe how good he was. Ive seen him a few times for Zenit and in some of Russia’s qualifiers, no doubt he was a very good player. But what he did tonight was simply extraordinary. It was magnificent! He was all over the place. Not sure what happened to Holland, guess they never got a spark to spur them on. Its unfortunate, they were a very good side and I enjoyed watching them. Russia have been very good the last couple of matches now. I hope they play just as well in the semifinals, great team to watch too.

an unbelievable performance by the Russians. They outclassed the dutch in all aspects of the game. the dutch were truly scared and chocked as always. What does Guss Hiddink give his players? the man is simply amazing.

Nice performance by Russians and well played by Arshavin. Good luck for black horse Turks and Russian in the upcoming match.

I’m not suprised seeing Arsenal , Chelsea , Man United and Liverpool will start bidding for Arshavin’s signature when Euro 2008 ends.
Wake up Wenger !!!

Three group winners out so far.
Three teams that have rested their stars in the final group game…
I expect a final Germany vs Russia.

i always believe in russia and its the only team having 99% players from national teams, YOUNGEST team and team that ran the most (in km, the distance). i was surprised and im happy
im happy that i ordered russian jersey after match with spain, because even tho they lost 4-1 and were bad in defence, they played football and hit post and had chances.. im russian, im happy and i will die from happinese if this side will be champions. only team i fear is italy. their disgusting game is unpleasant to watch and they kill pace of game.. this is only what gonna edfeat russians..
ROSSIJA VPERED!!
GO RUSSIA!

this result wuldnt have happened if the ref hadnt taken back his red card given to Kolodin. I thought once a decision was made tht was it?
and the ball from sjneider never went out, shows how hopeless the officials are…

Ya the ball never went out but Kolodin didn’t foul Sneijder, it doesn’t show it but when you see it slo-mo he doesn’t foul him so in the end it’s fair.

I haven’t watched the highlights yet but did the ref really give a red then take it back. I thought that was literally impossible. I thought once the red has left the pocket it’s game over no 2nd chance.
Does this completely change the rules of football? Now when players get a red they won’t leave instead they’ll lobby to have the card recinded. Ridiculous.

no, he didnt change his decision because players lobby, he changed it, because assistant ref. confirmed that ball was out. thats it.
it happened before and ref made mistake taking card out not looking at assistent. but THRE WAS NO FAUL FOR YELLOW CARD… so everything is fair…
russia deserved win..
no doubt

Van Der Saar was unbelievably good. One of the best GK performances I’ve seen since Seaman and Kahn.
Bravo Van Der Saar

#9 : I don’t think with his figures and technique style, he will be successful in Premier League. Remember Kiev’s Rebrov and Shevchenko ?
I think his best destinations should be La Liga or Serie A

i dont mind the fact that the ref went over to get help with a decision from the linesman, im just annoyed that he gave a decision, then went over and asked, then changed it. Thats the problem and it shouldnt be right to do that.

The AR signalled that the ball was out of play before the foul was committed. That makes it a dead ball and the foul null and void.

Well done Arshavin! Indeed there’ll be several clubs drooling for his signature! I was hoping Netherlands would go through as I’ve always wanted to see a Netherlands v Spain match.. but to be honest I wasn’t surprised. Holland are very much like Spain and Argentina, they usually conquer during the group stages but fall out flat during the final stages. Holland’s back four aren’t strong enough — they lack someone with the figure of Stam/De Boer..

Those of you that are bad mouthing Van Der Saar need to understand that without this man, the match would have been over long ago,and the Russians would probably have taken a 3 or 4 goal lead in regulation time

Van der saar has played a great tournament until the 115th minute of the game. That was clearly his fault. But had the Dutch played better, they wouldn’t have been in so much trouble at that point. Congrats to Russia, great performance by every single player.

Brilliant Job by the Russians
Simply breathtaking football by the Russians
No Doubt they deserved the victory
Van Der Sar did all he could
Arshavin shown why he is the best player on the pitch last night
What can I say?
If you watch the whole match you will realise holland were struggling with their attack becuz of the absent of robben I think so…
I loved the way Russians played their football breathaking stuff!!!

Goodbye favourite Netherland…
Arshavin put a classy performance last night.He was absolutely unbeliveble.He was still outrunning in the 121th minute.What a condition…
“Revenge is a dish best served cold.” Can they take their revenge from Spain?Go Russia.We’ll be waiting for you to the final, if we can bombard Germany…
