Don't know if you watched the game or not. Russian well deserved the win. If not for Van Der Sar's big frame, they would have scored at least two more goals, easily. Dutch was good in the group stage because they scored first and their counterattach was very sharp. But when Russians solidified their defense when 6-7 people packed in the middle, there was not much the Orangje could have done. They just did not have the personel to crack it. Robben might have made a difference, but unfortunately he was injured. On the other hand, Russian did not have to commit to many players on offense. With Arshavin, the ball just went where it was supposed to go. That's exactl what a star player could do for a team.
