Surely that's the first recorded incident of two wrongs making a right?

Linesman said ball had gone out for a goal kick when it hadn't, forcing referee to cancel the booking for Kolodin that wasn't even a foul in the first place.

Brilliant.

Sneijder is a genius player but the rest have been very average tonight

They haven't played as a team, unlike the previous games. Even Sneijder - as good as he has been - has been selfish at times.

Pavlyuchenko hits the crossbar. Cracking effort.

[jonesie]

That Pavlyuchenko is either the greatest striker of all time or just some big lump that keeps getting lucky.

Probably both.

he's really impressive, as impressive as Arshavin, great eye for goal.

absolutely

How did he miss?

[livvy145]

Torbinski should have done better. The game is very open at the moment, wouldn't have a clue who is favourite to win.

Shame either of these has to go out here. I'm supporting the Dutch because I've had a bet on them from day one but I really like the Russians.

[Reece]

From what I've seen of the two, Arseshavin would suit the Premiership better than Silva would.

[Imy]

Kolodin, man can he strike a ball well.

[livvy145]

Kolodin - boom,again. What a shot he has.

I know what you mean. I've enjoyed watching the Russians, but I would like the so called "big teams" to remain in it (although this doesn't necessarily = good games).

I'd make him my number 1 target.

Lets see Alan Smith block one of those!
