RUSSIA thoroughly outplayed the NETHERLANDS in Euro 2008 Quarterfinal action today winning 3-1 in extra time.
Russia produced the better quality soccer over the course of this day leaving the NETHERLANDS wondering what hit them.
After ROMAN PAVLYCHENKO’s goal gave Russia a 1-0 lead it looked like it would stand until with five minutes left a Ruud Van Nistlerooy header tied things up. At that point you might have begun to favor momentum swinging in the Dutch favor but it never came throughout the day nor did it come in the extra sessions. In fact Russia took the second overtime session over slicing apart the Dutch defense producing two goals from DIMITRI TORBINSKY and ANDREI ARSHAVIN.
ARSHAVIN who plays for ZENIT ST. PETERSBURG throughout the day was fantastic…….RUSSIA deserved this one as the NETHERLANDS exit disappointingly………….TOMORROW it is SPAIN and ITALY for more must watch tv.

Both the DYNAMO and COLORADO are expected to play a number of players back from international duty tonite in Colorado.
Dynamo Richard Mulrooney did not make the trip due to a sore knee and will be rested which means the Dynamo lineup may shift around a bit tonite for Dominic Kinnear.
Same goes for Colorado and Fernando Clavijo who has used youth in the abscence of name players like Pablo Maestroeni and Ugo Ihemulu.

FREE KICK MASTERS are putting on a tryout for one lucky player to participate in the FREE KICK MASTERS event July 5th at RELIANT STADIUM. Head over to KICKS INDOOR on Sheperd tomorrow to tryout to be in the competition with RONALDINHO and LIONEL MESSI…..pretty cool stuff for the lucky winner. For more info FREEKICKMASTERS.COM

THE DYNAMO are at COLORADO tonite but you wouldn’t know it by the newspaper coverage here in Denver. But what I did learn in the paper today is that the COLORADO CRUSH and DENVER OUTLAWS the Arena Football and Lacrosse team will both be playing at the same time a the RAPIDS and DYNAMO tonite Both are apparently owned by Kroencke Sports. Amazing.
BRIAN CHING will be back in the lineup for the DYNAMO tonite which will be a welcomed addition on the large surface at altitude. His ability to hold the ball will be important tonite.
PABLO MAESTROENI and UGO IHEMULU should be back in the RAPIDS lineup but don’t expect TERRY COOKE to get a start who seems to be out of favor. The Dynamo will need to keep in check OMAR CUMMINGS who can fly up front and CHRISTIAN GOMEZ who did not start in Toronto. TOM MCMANUS also has three goals up front.
DWAYNE DEROSARIO scored twice against ST Vincent last night in a 4-1 win and both he and PAT ONSTAD are expected to fly in. How will they be used?

I am just catching my breath after watching the repeat of Croatia and Turkey. Amazing drama and unexpected which just reminds us about the surprises the game can bring us all. So today on ABC the NETHERLANDS will take on RUSSIA . This is can’t miss television. Will ARJEN ROBBEN, ROBIN VAN PERSIE and company keep advancing to that GERMANY AND NETHERLANDS final that I desire?

THE FREE KICK MASTERS tryout will be tomorrow from 9am to 5pm at KICKS INDOOR on Sheperd near Washington.
Tryout and you could be the lucky winner who ends up on the field to compete in the skills competition on July 5th at RELIANT STADIUM with the likes of LIONEL MESSI AND RONALDINHO, FERNANDO TORRES, ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO, DECO, HARRY KEWELL to name a few.
This is reality TV in the making . For more information go to FREEKICKMASTERS.COM
