russia vs spain

[DonDotta27]

Who else thinks russia really has a chance. After todays game is obvious that every team is comin to win, underdog or not. Russia i think has played the best soccer of the four teams left in the tournment. They shut down Holland the hottest team in europe. I think the over is the best bet here again. Russia wont be playing like the italians and will be tryin to put one in the net with their two strikers.I also believe spain will have many chances to score. Any thoughts

I think it will be tight this time,good probability to see it going OT.(perhaps 1-1 correct score),Not sure if Over covers this time as both teams will be careful with opponent strikers and afraid doing any mistakes at that level.Holland was great in group stage and then played bad vs Russia,Germany came so motivated and dominated Portugal and then despite winning today didn't really attend the game,maybe overconfident,and Russia after great show vs Holland might follow same route and won't be as good as they were vs the Dutch.my feeling is Books will not lose with this one,majority will take the value on Russia and Over with the offenses these teams have,and we will see low scoring match this time with the Favorite (Spain) advancing to the final this time.

I am on the over as well. Russians said they will not adapt to spain's style of play and will opt to play defense through offense...

IOW, many men back, looking for good ops in the counter attack?

Not sure how you see spain has playin the best soccer.... They beat shitty teams to move on. Russia was without their star player, Greece was just horrible and they were old, and same thing with sweden. Sweden also almost beat spain. Spain also didnt play good against italy. Yes they dominated the ball but they could not get a shot on net. And only really had one chance to score. I think russia will play there game and be the true cinderella team of this tournment not turkey. Russia also has the best coach left in the tournment. Lets go russia and majority is on spain right now cuz many fan dont know soccer and see all the all stars on spain.. I would be suprised by Ot.

agreed, spain has not played the best. barely squeaked by sweden, the hapless greeks, and an arshavin-less russia. beating italy in pk's is not measuring stick

I think Russia wins this game. They've impressed me more than any other team in the tournament.

Arent you watching the games?
Spain beat russia 4-1

Huge difference though. Arshavin wasn't there for that game and he is by far Russia's best player. Spain might win again, but I think it should be even odds. It's 50/50 who wins this game in my opinion.

 

[Muddy]

thats why i took the ruskies

Taking Spain to ADVANCE @-140.

I can see this possibly going to Extra Time but still think that Spain have the superior side.

Arshavin wasn't there but Russia will still have the same back four that allowed Spain to score 4 goals.

 

[MrCleo]

and torres only played 60minutes

a good offense will be a good defense for russia... they will possess the ball more (with arshavin back) and spain will see fewer chances.

False! The first match Kolodin and Shirokov marked Torres and Villa, today Ignashevich and Berezutsky will play. The two upcoming backs, Anyukov and Zhirkov will play though.

Russia played the best soccer of all teams left. They really impressed me against Netherland. They dominated the best team in the tourney and they play great soccer.
