The Champions?

Russia destroyed Sweden

Guus Hiddink Russia did a great match tonight and beat Sweden easy with 2-0. Sweden was close to score one time in the first half, when Henrik Larsson hit the post, but except for that Sweden was not even close. Russia could have scored more goals.

Guus Hiddink will face his home country in the quarter final and it can be a very interesting game. For Sweden, it was the first time since 2000 that they failed to make it to next second round in a tournament.

I think that Portgual, Croatia, Italy and Holland are going to the semifinals.

The Champions will be the winner from semifinal number two - Italy or Holland

Innsbruck is a yellow town

Tonight Sweden and Russia are playing a decisive game about a place in the quarter final.

I belive that Sweden will win the game, or take the necessry point they need. Russia are forced to win but I don't think they are strong enough. Sweden have a lot of rutin from this matches and haven't failed to make it to the next round in their last four tournaments.

Swedish fans are taking over the city and if Sweden make it to the quarter final it will be a wild, crazy and yellow party here in Innsbruck tonight.

Spain will probably win over Greece, even if they will play with another team tonight. Both Croatia and Netherland showed that they have 23 good players in the squad and I belive that Spain has that to.

Italy, best when they need it

Like I predicted, Italy made it to the finals.

The world champions won their game over France after goals from Pirlo and De Rossi.
France got Ribery injured eary in the game and was reduced to ten men a few minutes later.

Italy will face Spain in the next round, but without Pirlo and Gattuso who both are suspended.
