Cusipz · Jun 21, 2008

on ABC - national network TV, too big for just the Soccer forum!

I expect a close game, unlike most. Russia may pull this out.

GL all !

i need the ruskies cus........good luck

Russia has looked better in the first 10 mins....But Netherlands can strike fast.

-Slim- · Jun 21, 2008

too much magic for the russians to handle. 2-0 if I had to predict a score.

bigtendominator · Jun 21, 2008

As soon as the Dutch put one in, the Russians will crumble like Chernobyl.

Cusipz · Jun 21, 2008

Magic? Seen nothing from the dutch so far. Russia with all the attacks and offense. But still early.

-Slim- · Jun 21, 2008

C, who said in today's game? I mean the Dutch game overall...

has anyone else been gettin errors with pinny?

everything is fine till I submit my wager, after entering my password, then I get an error screen.

Not all the time mind u, but today it happened, as I was trying to get on this game going UNDER 2.5, 5 minutes into the contest.

Wish I could use Pinny, SS !

25 mins - Russia much the better side. Dutch not awake yet.

At the risk of sounding cynical again, I had to turn this off. These guys spend hours upon hours practicing kicks near the goal and we already have had 2 sail 10 yards or more off target. Then we have the requisite dive when the defender gets close.

Wow, Russia just dodged a huge bullet. Ruud usually doesn't miss those !

Cusipz · Jun 21, 2008

Russia dominating again. Netherlands doesn't look like a -150 squad.

Akillies · Jun 21, 2008

where is the neth. squad that beat me the last 3 games, cause they dont seem to be here today

Akillies · Jun 21, 2008

i heard hiddik would have a plan to stop them but russia had looked weak til now, this cautious style dont suit the dutch

Cusipz · Jun 21, 2008

0-0 HT. Both sides with nice chances, but Russia has looked more dangerous and in control on offense.

Russia more likely to make a blunder in the back, though. Should be a very interesting second half.

flmmkrz · Jun 21, 2008

the dutch picked it up that last 15 minutes or so, I would like to see them put Robben in, he can make things happen with his creativity since the russian plans obviously been crowd Sneijder and limit the play to flow thru him

kcameron95 · Jun 21, 2008

their getting nothing out of the wings.

please bring on robben/van persie.

Akillies · Jun 21, 2008

van persie and robben to the rescue, in abut 10 minutes

Legend-I-Aint · Jun 21, 2008

I expect to see the Dutch pick it up a few notches, put one in the ol onion bag and walk out of the stadium with a win at the end of regulation.

Cusipz · Jun 21, 2008

Russia +.5 -110 (5D) seems a steal right now.

I just don't see them falling apart in the second half.

Also like u1.5 -122. If there is a score in the second half, I don't see two.
