In the first two games the Dutch got ahead early, and that played into their hands and forced the other team to chase - which played into their counter-attacking style
I think there was always a question how would Holland react when they werent able to play the game at their pace... but I personally didnt think Russia has the team to ask the question.
Some of the defensive frailties that were talked about before the tournament are now there for all to see - but Schnejder really is a wonderful player.
Ive read this morning that Madrid are going to offer him to Man United in part exchange for Cris Ronaldo - would love to see him in the premiership.
