Russia stomped into the semi final when they beat Holland 3-1 (aft, fulltime 1-1) this morning.
They look set to beat Holland when Roman Pavluchenko scored in the 56th min, but Nistelrooy delay their party and equalised in the 86th min with a diving header.
The Dutch looks tired and their defence couldn't keep in pace with the Russian's attack. Guus Hiddink's team up the tempo in the 2nd period of extra time. Man of the match, Andrei Arshavin (10) floated a cross over the top of Van der Sar and Dmitri Torbinsky (7) need no invitation and tap into the empty net.
Andrei Arshavin killed of any hope for a Holland come back when his shot went thru Van der Sar's leg.
Looks like Vodka or Black Russian are not Holland favourite's drink!!
