Russia pulled off another upset to become the first team to qualify for this semifinal, but will come against their Group D rivals Spain, who arrived here at the expense of World Cup champions Italy. Just 90 minutes will separate one team from the Euro 2008 final, but for the other team, 90 minutes are all that remains before a bitterly disappointing end to their title hopes.

Most pundits gave Gus Hiddink’s Russia little chance of beating his countrymen when they played the Netherlands in their quarterfinal match, but Russia played exceptionally well to earn their place in the next round. After several missed opportunities, the Russians managed to go a goal ahead, only to have Rudd van Nistelrooy equalize and ensure the game went into extra time.

But it was here where the Russians showed their true character, scoring twice to win 3-1. The match was a great example of what a difference coaching makes, Gus Hiddink directed his side immaculately and made all the right moves. He anticipated the Dutch attack, which had been so devastating in the group stages, and covered key men closely. In contrast, Dutch coach Marco van Basten made some suspect calls in keeping some obviously tired players on the pitch, and paid a high price for them.

Spain played a rather tentative game in their quarterfinal and failed to score after 90 minutes and extra time. While they created some quality opportunities, they never really hit their stride and did not look as dangerous as they can be, but they did manage to win on penalties and will be the stronger side going into this semifinal, looking to win their first European championship since 1964.

Russia have continued to upset the odds throughout Euro 2008 by beating the Netherlands in the quarter finals and racking up wins against Greece and Sweden in the group stage. On recent evidence, it would be difficult to bet against Gus Hiddink’s side, apart from the small matter of them getting trounced 4-1 by Spain in the opening Group D match. Spain looked a class apart on that night but they will be under real pressure to beat Russia going into the match as the bookmakers favourites. Luis Aragones’ side showed their mettle against Italy in the quarter finals but it will be difficult for them to shake off their “bottlers” tag.
