The dominance of the Dutch in the group stages was quite surprising really. They pretty much relied on their attacking game and got away with it because when you look at their back four on paper it doesn't really inspire a great deal of confidence, with the likes of Ooijer, Van Bronckhurst (ouch) and Johnny Heitinga not firing on all cylinders you could say it was easy pickings for Arshavin in the Q.Final game. Tonight he was up against the likes of Ramos, Marchena, Puyol and Senna.. after a couple of challenges he wasn't interested and never got into the game.
