day 4 group d preview

Well, its the day all you fliers of the Spanish flag have been waiting for. They kick off their Euro 2008 campaign with Russia in 20 minutes followed by the Greeks, who will start their quest to defend their title against Sweden. Aragones appears to have decided to go with a 4-4-2, with that dream pairing of Torres and Villa up top at the expense of Arsenal playmaker Cesc Fabregas. This is a depleted Russian squad, Spain shouldn't have any problems, I don't think Russia will win a game this tournament. Spain 2-0.

As for the other game, Henrik Larsson is what, 38? There has to be a better option to play alongside Zlatan. But Sweden are somehow the favorite in this match, which goes against all logic I can conceive. Greece look poised to make another run deep into this tournament. We won't know their names, well Nick might, but they'll find their goals. Greece 1-0.

That really is a dream pairing.

i don't know which team bores me more, chelsea or greece? one more thing about the greeks. samaras is almost as ineffective as eddie johnson, but at least samaras saw time in the premiership. that is something johnson can't say and won't unless his first touch improves.

the man to watch is luka modric tomorrow. come on you spurs......
