Re: As I noted in the other thread (none / 0)

I didn't see the match, but I can imagine that Russian conviction was better. The Dutch must have wanted to win just as much, but their confidence was probably mixed with more sense of entitlement rather than an urge to overcome a barrier.

Hiddink demonstrated his class as a knowledgeable motivator. Van Basten was not ready to manage a critical situation like this, was he?

Yes, there is that controversy ... (none / 0)

... whether you should play the game in the state that you practiced for it. I guess it depends on how you thought the practices went.
