Russia play the best football right now. Italy and Germany aren't even capable of playing like this, with this kind of attacking ferocity as slav mentioned. The ref last night was leaning heavily towards the dutch, even wanted to give Kolodin a second yellow but opted against it after consultation with the assistant and then he didn't give a clear penalty, but even after all that Arshavin pulled through and passed to torbinsky, who was a sub but still wont play in the semis cuz of two yellows, he ten scored (futsal like play). I think that every player on this Russian team will play like crazy for Gus Hiddink and even with dodgy refereeing they have the football in them to be called the best in Europe. WIll it be official? Who knows, but they proved for now that they play the best football, the prettiest football. Well done Russia
