Some good games in the quarters.

Turkey!

What About That Equalizer In Extra Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!

my sweep pick is looking good now

 

[Smokin Joe]

I'm glad Russia won, they deserved it. Holland had peaked too soon and were unlikely to play so well all the way through.

Italy v Germany final.

Holland did not play well as a team tonight. Russia, from the off, looked the better team. They had an air of confidence about them.

 

[Keith Oates]

Don't see any of it out here, perhaps it's just as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Haitch]

Yeah, Holland deserved to go out. Limp, listless and none of the form of the first three games.

So instead of one of the 'big' names winning the tournament what are the odds of one of the little fish repeating Greece's performance last time?

Agreed. I thought Russia got their tactics spot on; kept the pace up, didn't allow the Dutch to rest on the ball, always challenging the man in possession.... much like Holland did to Italy and France! Holland didn't play well because Russia didn't let them!

Hiddink is a genius. The Russian team prior to his taking over was a group of talented by disparate indviduals. He's made it a team and got them to believe that they can do anything, just as he did with South Korea. Actually, the quality of the management is one of the really noticeable things about this tournament... and probably another reasons why England aren't there and don't deserve to be.

I have given up making predictions now - quite clearly Germany are still the Germany of this championship and the Netherlands are not going to win it. Spain remain the one team that appear to have broken their usual pattern, but that's probably put the kiss of death on their chances and not they will lose too!

Hiddink is a genius.

if i was the head of the fa i would have moved heaven and earth to get him to take the england job. what he has achieved over his international career is nothing short of astonishing.

i reckon italy will see off spain in a dull display of catanaccio as usual tonight.

I'm, er, watching the commentary on yahoo (haven't got a TV); doesn't sound like much of a game!

I am just off to the kitchen to watch some dishwater...

 

[Dayvo]

Be careful! There might be a fish lurking in the sink!

 

[marinyork]

It's not much of a game. Looking like penalties (well someone might score in stoppage or ET but I'm not hopeful).
