Congratulations to Hiddink and Russia

Russia won through last night to the seim-finals of Euro 2008 with a technically outstanding performance against the much-fancied Dutch. Despite the blow of conceding a late equaliser, Hiddink's men in white have a lot of resolve and belief to add to their ability. In truth, they were better than the Dutch the whole night and thoroughly deserve to progress. Hiddink's teams have always been difficult to beat and the Russians must now be in with a great shout of winning the tournament.
