Pull the other one. Ivanisevic could also play if you hadn't noticed (his serve was by no means the fastest - Philippoussis, Rusedski and a couple other tanks) and if it wasn't for Sampras would have tied up Wimbledon 10 years prior.

Yeah, Ivanisevic was a good player, but without that height and serve, he'd have been beaten, particularly on grass.

The Russians can't win this, most of them don't even have tattoo's ?

The commentator loves Russia. Every block by their ten man defence generates drooling. Each hacking down of Spain’s fullbacks met with “the defender was slightly late”.
The commentator, just like all the foreign staff over there, just wants the chance to see his wife and family again.

Would be really surprised if most of the Russian players hadn't drug cheated in the past couple of years. Come on Spain.

Spain look very ponderous........neat passing about in the middle third but not much more. Ruskies happy to let them knock about in the middle, then take it off them when they try to manufacture something.

Have never seen a formation without forwards before. Russia since their striker went off, are playing with 11 defensive midfielders and defenders.

Even the Chelsea team that set out to defend and defend, left Drogba up front.
