Re: 18th June Russia v Sweden

I am with the Russians here also.

Sweden now are placing their side on too much emphasis on the experience of their side. Players like Ljunberg, Larsson etc might have moments of magic but over full 90 mins they are nowhere near as dangerous as before.

I dont even think Ljunberg should be anywhere near the starting line up but thats for another arguement.

They are your typically stuffy swedish side to break down but Russia have the Techinical players to break through them for sure.

Ibrahimovic is the star of the side but even he has scored 1 goal in 2 and a half years and he is nowhere near as prolific for Sweden as he is for Inter.

The Russians are a team i like. Got rolled over it seems 4-1 to Spain but they werent really that bad and created chances and caused the Spanish problems.

Technically they are a very good side in the competition and with Arshavin back from suspension will be good news as he will be pulling the strings.

And lets not forget we have Hiddink who for me is the best coach inthe world. Never failed to get out the group stages with ANY side and I have faith in him to get the job done.

Russia win for me!!
