YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Russia is in the semi-finals of the Euro 2008, winning over the highly acclaimed Holland team 3:1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As far as I am aware Russia never being further than quarter-finals. The Russian coach (who is actually Dutch) Guus Hiddink is made of awesome as far as I am concerned. I will be making picspams and icons in between now and 26 of June.

- THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT TOURNAMENT SO FAR!
- I was impressed by the Turkey team as being able to shoot penalties is such an important skill. And ability to score a goal on the last second is even more important.
- Germany has always been one of my favourites and Ballack is in a good form. He is fantastic!

GO GO ITALY TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!! I didn't believe it could happen. :d This is the first time Russia is in semi-finals and I can't be happier - football is a very popular sport there but for some reason they have never been any good at it, until now.

You beat the Netherlands with their own weapons. :D

I guess Guus taught them a trick or two. ;D

But as it's often the case, the real games only begin after the group phase is over.

By math approach, for a team that have won 3 games in a row it is more likely that they will lose their next game. I go by math, you know. :D
