June 18, 200817 yr The Russian's really did look good tonight. Arshavin really is SUCH a good player. I'm sure if he wasn't banned for the first two games they'd have given Spain a run for their money. The quarter finals are looking really interesting though... I don't see any real clear winner yet.
June 18, 200817 yr Me neither. Even all the quarter finals are too hard to call. I wouldn't be surprised if the four group winners went through but then I also wouldn't be surprisd if the four runners-up went through, I do think the championship has proved England had a tough draw in qualifying. Russia and Croatia are both great sides and I think we'd definitely have qualified over most if not al of the teams that have gone out!

I know England are getting a lot of stick at the moment, but it just goes to show that Russia and Croatia can compete with Europe's best. Both are very good teams (although I do think England were better than Russia, and it was just down to luck how we didn't qualify) and this is really showing at the Euros. I think the Netherlands may be too strong for Russia, but if Russia play like they did tonight with Arshavin playing off Pavlechenko, then the Netherlands could be in for a shock!

June 19, 200817 yr Oh yes, why exactly don't they do third place playoffs anymore? :o What's the point in them? Just give both of them third place, like they do in most contact sports in the Olympics.
