Incredible Soccer by Russians on Euro 2008

It is quite hard to believe when you see fixtures of today's Euro Cup. Russians are there, they still are.

After 1-4 vs Spain at the very beginning of group round the end was in the air. However we were able to beat Greeks 1-0. Greeks, who were actually last time, Euro 2004, cup holders. The game seemed to be nervous and as usual russians scored the minimum of a great number of possibilities they could have scored.

Then there was a final group game vs Sweden. we both had 3 points at that time, and in a case of draw Sweden would have go forward(due to better goals difference). But russians showed who is master here and 2-0 was quite enough to go into play off.

Play off with Orange Team who had beat Italy and France quite easily. Orange's seemed to be the strongest team on Euro 2008 so far. Both Dutch and Russians showed the most sweet for a soccer fans game, with lots of attacks and elemetns of a show each game.

But from the very beginning of the game russians showd that they are here to go to the next round. Dutch were shocked and act inconfident, they were not able to show their super game, super style and super talented players. Pavluchenko scored and Russia were so close to go into semi0finals, but finaly Rud Van Nisterloy showed why he is playing for Real Madrid. 1-1 and extra time. But here again russians were running all over as at the beginning of the game and Oranges were pretty tired. Dmitry Torbiski and new super star Andrey Arshavin proved that they can play in the top european clubs. After the game Arshavin told that some german and british clubs are interested in him, but he is looking to play in Spain. 3-1 Russia in the last 4.

Here is going to be another try for Russians because they would face Spaniards again. We will see the game soon, but we can say for sure that this game will be different. Central defender Denis Kolodin will miss the game due to too many yellow cards. Hopefully it won't be the last game for russians, so he will show his game again this summer. Looking forward to see the game!

Finally, i should put down couple of nice words about the coach. Guus Hidding is absolutely fantastic, all the teams he is leading are playing wise and wow he is really number one int the world today. Thank You, Guus for your work.

watch the Euro 2008 and do not bet!
