What i can tell u is this Arshavin really impressed me a lot.
Russia thrashed by Spain 4-1 in their opening match.
Then they managed to get a win against the Greeks.
Their final group match, which was against the Swedes, was the decision match for both team.
A draw was sufficient for Sweden to qualify.
And the return of their King Arshavin outpowered Sweden.
I watched the match... really interesting.
Russia kept the ball running around Sweden penalty area, from left to right, from right to center, from center to left, ALL AROUND THERE... hahaha.
Just simply, they scored... And they won 2-0 (which suppose to be higher scoreline).
Then they play the favourites Netherlands (defeated World Champion & Vice Champion).
Again, they showed their ability in attacking the Dutch.
Till the Dutch can't get in Russian penalty zone & kept on long shooting by that Sneijder & Van der Vaart.
A late freekick by Netherlands earned them a draw.
Anyhow, Russian sent the Dutch home by 2 extra time goals.
This time around they will be facing the team that thrashed kao them 4-1 in group match.
I believe this will be a different game.
Russia did mistakes in 1st game. They were pushing forward too much.
They were trying to catch up Spain with offside traps, which they failed.
I believe Hiddink will be playing something different in today game.
Am really expecting they can reach final.
Then beat the Germans, and be the CHAMPION!!!
