They haven't played better than the Russians throughout the game which is why they lost but when they did play they were clearly better than the Russian team.
Congrats to the Russians makes it an easier road to the final for Spain so at least both semi's should be a cake walk for the finalists meaning nobody gets an advantage that way but with the way Euro has gone historically perhaps one of these crappy teams will win again.

I thought you liked the underdog!
We'll have to disagree then. I thought the Russians dominated the tempo of the match and the Dutch only looked dangerous on free kicks. The Dutch spent so much time chasing the game that they had to make early subs and then they were totally gassed in extra time as the younger Russian legs kept going and going. You can't make the argument about being better in the group stage because we all know that in major tournaments (like the Stanley Cup playoffs even) what happened previously means nothing.
