Of course Russia’s going to win, since Gazprom has bought out the EURO 2008, just like it bought out the Eurovision:). How can a team that hardly could move and lost 1:4 to quite a mediocre rival, overnight become a winning horse? Only it’s “managers” persuade its rivals and what’s more important, motivate them not to strain themselves.
Europe is becoming a well paid “sparing partner” of Russia, in politics, in sports in everything they can get a little bit of that oil-gaz share.

This Euro 2008 is a disgrace not only to football , but to the human dignity as well.
The final game will be between Russia and Germany, and who know better how to bend over to Russia, if not Germany:)))

The Russian team does not have the right…ah…tone for Aragones to be able to use his famous motivational methods to get the his players to perform for this huge match. The Russian winter wins again!

Yes
Russia is very good.
Yes
Russia have confidence.
Yes Guus is a tactical genius.
BUT
1. Aragones isn’t a bad coach himself (maybe he talks too much and says things that he shouldn’t say but he is still good)
2.Spain have an amazing team.
3.Spain beat Italy so they can beat anyone if they play well (and they weren’t even playing that well that day)
4.Spain also have alot of confidence as well, but are eager to kill the sayings that Spain are underachivers
5.Bringing the past into the argument is stupid because this is a new team.

Soccer Slut,

Spain is playing against three things. A red-hot Russian team, Aragones and most daunting of all, destiny.

Russia 2 Spain 2, Russia scores in OT.
