Re: Euro 2008
Well, that's the trick. Russia does not have an excessive offensive capability where Greece can stop that. What's more Greece have better strikers this time and one of the counter attacks will knock the Russkis unconscious.Russia can play offensive football. It's not pretty. But it is offensive football.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

Matchday 8 Predictions
Sweden 1-1 Spain (1800)
[Spanish bubbles usually tend to burst a little later, but I think Sweden might contain them and be able
to exploit their defensive weaknesses just enough to bring them down to earth. Sweden are missing a
couple of critical players to injuries, though I've been led to believe their more youthful alternatives
aren't half bad. I trust they'll do me a favour here, then.]
Greece 1-2 Russia (2045)
[Greece have to change to a more positive system, as they are quite capable of doing. Whether they
do or not, Russia might just prove too strong for them. They were unlucky early on against Spain, and
I think their endeavour could pull them through for a repeat of the result four years ago.]

Re: Euro 2008
Looks like Romania will sneak into second spot if they can get a decent result against a second string Dutch side next week.

Re: Euro 2008
They've surprised once before with winning the championship while I cannot remember Russia ever getting far.
