The Sorcerer, Gus Hiddink put the Apprentice, Macro Van Basten to the sword last night as the 'unfancied' Russians beat the Dutch 3-1 after extra-time to reach the semi-finals of Euro 2008.
It is quite a remarkable acheivement. Remember Russia were firmly slaughtered 4-1 by Spain in their first group game.
What is it with Hiddink and International competition? Remember he took South Korea to the World Cup semi-finals in 2002 and got Australia to the World Cup finals!!
Russia will now play either Spain or Italy in the 2nd semi-final, next Thursday.
In the space of a couple of days the competition has lost two of its favourites - Croatia and Holland.
Spain and Italy play tonight in the last quarter-final, kick off 20.45 (local time).
FORZA ITALIA
