To Jan and To All EUROPE:

Thank You for your words and thanks for all Dutch Fans who with dignity accepted own defeat I can understand your grief, but I can’t stop own rejoicing!!!! For the first time for 20 years (since 1988) we go to play-off, and moreover we have made the way to semi-final. This victory was very difficult, the match with Holland was not simple. Dutches are the big good fellows too, but I don’t stop being in surprising, that with Gus we began to play not only in defence, but also in attack with such strong teams! GUS is just our SUN! ) It is very symbolical, that he is Dutch. So for consolation of Dutch it is possible to tell, that you indirectly have enclosed a part of Russia’s victory too

Once again I wish to express the big gratitude to all European fans of football, that they treated our victory so positively and kindly! I agree – it’s NOT PLACE for racism here!! It is very insulting for me to read Russian-speaking forums where our *slavic brothers* (including Ukrainians) assert that our victory is bought…. Can You represent, that favourites of the European championship just *sold yourselves*???… So it is a pity, that our most close neighbours very assiduously were ill not for us at this night, and say that it is a shame for all football, that Russia and Turkey in a semi-final…. If national team of Ukraine has achieved the same successes, I would be sincerely glad for them… Unfortunately, Ukrainians of other opinion… I think this is simply politized opinion.

I FOR SPORTS OUT OF the POLICY!!! NO for nationalism!!! From Russia with love to Europe and to our guys, who made so much for our pleasure!! YAHOO!!!!! Bravo, rebiata!!!!! Molodcy!!!!! OLE OLE OLE!!!!

Thank You, Holland for Guus! His a great person and I saw his joy was mixed with some part of sorrow.
Its a pity we came to semi-finals by means of Holland. I would better see this in the final.

for some of you lot, dont be sore losers.

Dutch fans were never sore at losing. they have always been better at it then the rest. so if you think you’re a Dutch fan, and your arse have been shaven too heavily, take off your Oranje shirt, man, and quit watching football. you’re a disgrace for your own team.

try to learn something from Van der Sar and Van Basten’s after match commentary. these two weren’t being polite or politically correct. just as Hiddink is not trying to be with his taxes, his place of living, or his excitements.

anyway, the Russians learnt shipbuilding and table manners from the Dutch. now they learn to play football again, from the Dutch. i personally, have learnt alot from the Dutch fan who shook my hand when we were watching it in a Dutch-owned pub in Jakarta. awesome! V Peryod Rossiya!

I used to play football, so beyond the fact that i am russian, i also enjoy the sport itself. And yesterday, the team in white did something amazing. I was completely overwhelmed. One thing is winning a game by luck/missfortune of another team. Another thing is making orange juice from the “orange machine”. By all “sporting rules” russia should have been smashed in the overtime, because the dutch scored the last goal. But thank you Akinfeev for your terrible mistake in that goal and for letting us watch the overtime….. i think i saw Shneider almost crying after his 57th longrange kick. They just didn´t have any more arguments… Hope Russia will keep on surprising. Cheers
