The Old Tolbooth Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 How good do they look? Superb start by them and didn't think they had that kind of football in them, certainly more entertaining than Germany, Italy or France, that's for sure!

Eckauskas Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I decided to support Russia before the tournament as I thought they could spring a surprise and possibly do a Greece. I think they've been great in all of their games, even despite the hammering by Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Their football is so fluent, it's a joy to watch, they should be a decent price against the Dutch if they get through. I'm hoping Arshavon scores as I stuck a tenner on him to score at anytime at 3/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KisLas Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hope russia crash and burn but it would be funny to see them murdered by Holland in the next round. A win win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I took them at 25/1 before the tournament started. If they get through they will give the Dutch a harder game than most thought. Youngest team in tournament as well, look out for them at the World Cup 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd fancy the Russians in that game, if they were to nick an early goal, I'm not sure how the Dutch would react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejpee Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 They look a very good passing team eh.. Another Hiddink team doing well in a tournament- seems to do it everytime. Can't them beating Holland tho? Hope for a Spain v Holland semi, thatd be a cracker of a game!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazo Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Russia should have 4 or 5 by now. Good side should be a cracking game against the dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sweden can have no complaints, absolutely played off the park by a terrific Russian performance, really looking forward to Saturday nights game now, although I'll be wrecked by that time as I'm out all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Sexington Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Cant wait for the Russia v Holland game now. Who ever loses the first goal will be in soapy. They are both superb on the counter attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only a Game Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 A couple of years to early for Russia to win this I think, but they are worth an each way bet for the next World cup IMO. Russia v Holland might well be the game of the tournament for fans of open attacking football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The hype will probably be too much for The Netherlands vs Russia but it has all the making of a classic. In fact the Quarter Finals all look pretty tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppercrutch Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Russia play quality football. However they clearly don't have the killer instinct. They had so many chances tonight and just faffed about.

No Nonsense Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Looking forward to the Dutchb v the Ruski's in the quarters. Russian full backs are both flyers. It will be interesting to see if they still bomb forward against the firepower that the Dutch have out wide. If they do, it could be game of the tourney.

Samster Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I know they got hammered in the first game by Spain but, in my opinion, if they'd had Pogrebnyak (inj for entire tournament) and Arshavin (susp for first 2 games) available that game could have been a lot different. If Russia had scored first I'm not sure Spain would have had it all their own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
