Dutch team just fell to pieces, and Russia were all over them at the end.
What a tournament though.
Some wonderful play from the Dutch at the start, breathtaking comebacks from the Turks, the emergence of Russia...
Its all starting to look good for the Azzurri for me, but Spain is going to be a tough game, and you can never discount the Germans... and Turkey are playing like their name is on the trophy... and Russia just took Holland apart... so its anyone's game right now!
I'd back Italy right now though, even with a very tough QF to come.
I dont care how bad they play, or how many chances Luca Toni misses (or how slow he moves), how many senior players they miss:- at the business end of a competition they are a very hard team to beat.
