Its a classic "two counter punchers" type of game - but Russia have done well and probably had the best of the first 90 mins.
Just goes to show, like Germany I guess, form in the group stages doesnt always carry forwards into the big games. (and I dont count beating Sweden - who are an ageing team with one attacking threat who also has the honour of being the most frustrating player in world football - as good form)
Did Netherlands make a mistake by playing their reserves against Romania though?
Russia obviously came into the game on a high, and Netherlands dont seem to have done, despite their great form in the first two group games.
