it was hustle and determination. russia wanted it; we didn't. we played the worst match i've seen us play since euro2000, and far and away the worst we've played in this tournament. russia, on the other hand, played lights out and utilized their talents. so yeah, that does go back to hiddink firing his guys up, but it wasn't tactics...there was no need!
I really wanted Larsson to score when he hit the crossbar in the first half, shame really, would have been a better match. I like both Russia and Sweden, it's a shame one had to not go through..Spain was lucky with Arshavin not playing.
Arshavin is awesome.
