... yeah, Furia Roja!!!
I was worried for a minute b/c of that stupid ref. He was clearly making it easier for Italy. But yeah, Casillas was amazing in the penalties. Hopefully they repeat the gameplay they had against the Russians in their first match.

Well,arshavin wasn't there when they beat russians.and for me,it's like russia is having their first time big game(tourney) when they had to fight agains spain in the first match.

If Russia can show again what they showed against Sweden and Holland...Spain shouldn't win.

^Yeah, maybe..
I'm actually not very satisfied with Spain's gameplay against Italy. It's like they lost their touch.

ahh, I guessed wrong in this tournement for the first time. Well, spain couldn't do much, cause Italy was playing pretty clever and organised. There was almost no room for spain to pass and they blew most of their opportunities by losing their calm. Never thought, that the game would last longer than 90+ mins.

Listen to this man. If Russia plays the way they did on Saturday, winning the Euro should be easy for them.

I hope they can win the whole thing.
at least IMHO is better seeing Russia being a champion with a well known Coach
then Greece as a Boring champion.

I didn't like Greece as a champion; the Euro 2004 should have been won by the Czech Republic, in my opinion.

They did have a great team at the time. Even Nedved was still playing. Baroš was great too. Koller the telephone pole too. The greeks just did what they did so far in that euro... defended with all players and lucked out from corner kicks.
