Netherlands vs Russia Quarterfinal- Euro, 2008 [R]

[footyfan1]

Holland should have scored right there. That was so close!

Which has me thinking this may not be their night. I hope I'm wrong, because I certainly picked them.

[Inklink]

super counter by the Russians, nice save!

[Inklink]

Van der Sar again!

[sinner78]

In the 2nd half im sure we will be seeing robben and van persie.

[JediMindTricks]

shooting practice for russia. wow.

[Inklink]

Koladin tries another long range and just misses!

[Hungry Dave]

Van der Sar again!
That was a great shot and Van Der Sar made a fantastic save off it. VDS has been under pressure for a couple minutes.

[JeremyEritrea]

The Russians are definitely dominating this game. I find this very surprising.

[Hungry Dave]

Yeesh not as good shooting from the Dutch.

[JeremyEritrea]

Nice run by the Dutch there.

[Hungry Dave]

Yeah that was a good turn and shoot move. He did good to stay on his feet.

[JeremyEritrea]

BTW, that field in Basel looks like crap.

I think the Russians are definitely the better side, but you and I definitely have different meanings of the word "dominating."

Well, the Russians have had the better run of things so far, and the Dutch seem to have been on their heels most of the half.

Nice attempt there, De Yong should've done better on that ball.

[Suyuntuy]

The Russians look tired already, they have given 150% in the first 30 minutes.

Halftime

Netherlands 0:0 Russia


Great match!

[JeremyEritrea]

The Dutch seem to be picking up the pace a bit, but I think it's too late for the first half.

And it is - 0:0 at half time.

[ChicagoAzzuri]

Hmm, in the group stage the Netherlands buries those chances at 30' and 38'...don't sleep on Russia boys, they def have the ability to send you home

[Suyuntuy]

As I see it, the second time is likely to be an Orange Party. The Dutch look like they still have full tanks, and the Russians seemed dejected at the end of the half. They expected to score.

Too bad it's half-time, now the Russians have time to regain some energy. :mad:
