Russia vs Spain

Spain will meet Russia for the second time in this EURO 08.

No one will underestimates Russia after they crashed Holland 3-1 in quarter final. I'm really impressed with their performance, especially the display of playmaker Andrei Arshavin. Meanwhile, Spain performs as stable as they should from the beginning of this tournament. So, which team will win???

Russia team showed their qualities with great teamwork, speed, stamina......more importantly, they have genious Hiddink and superb ARshivin in their squad!! However, their set piece is weak. Any freekicks or corners for Spain maybe costly.

Spain, on the other hand, is having the strongest squad in this tournament (I think). Even Alonso and Frabegras not being in the start 11!! They got the combination of Torres and Villa in front, which is the hottest "pair" at the moment. Anyway, their defence are weak in my mind. They have to stop the brilliant Arshavin, if not BYE BYE lo...

For me, Spain will still win this semi final tie in the end. GO GO SPAIN!!!
