    Sweden 1-1 Spain

    Greece 1-0 Russia

    Spain is no big team yet. And Greece are sure to grab some points from one of the "almost-nothing" teams of the tournament.

    Russia can play offensive football. It's not pretty. But it is offensive football. Greece can't - which doesn't mean it is going to be a pretty sight either.

    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.

    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.]
    it's the **** that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come

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