No one on the forum is talkin about this game much. It might be one of the closest games of the tournment. Russia played very well against Greece and is getting their best striker back. But sweden has also been playing good.. keeping up with a spain team. Sweden also has ibra who is hurt and will not play the whole game.. I am leaning on russia but the under is also a very good bet .. Any thoughts:ohno:

I also think Russia are more than capable of winning. Sweden are solid but apart from Ibra they lack creativity.

I have been impressed by Russia. They play attacking football and with the addition of Arshavin I think they get the win tonight.

I have a hard time betting on either team. Sweden didn't attack at all against Spain and it cost them in the end. Plus all they need is a tie to advance so not sure how many chances they will take. However...

Russia's defense isn't very good and I see them attacking more this game (as they need the win) so that should open up some chances for Sweden but also more chances for them to score.

Lean towards Sweden but again, I could see them playing for the tie. What to do, what to do...

I think the best play here is Russia pk. Sweden will probably play very cautiously the entire game, unless they get down a goal because all they need is a tie to advance. Russia is not not a premier squad, but they are good enough to beat this Sweden team.

Neither have really been impressive so far in my opinion, but since Sweden will probably be playing for the tie and Russia is more than capable of putting a couple goals in the back of the net Russia pk seems like the best play in this game.

Pavyluchenko has been one of the more impressive players in the tournament to me. Think he is the difference maker today.

Yup, Russia completely dominated and that was an impressive performance as I've seen all tournament.
Will be looking forward to the Russia-Holland game the most out of all of them. If nothing else, should be some entertaining soccer.
