Some interrestings citations:
These two teams met in their opening match of the tournament, with Spain convincing 4-1 winners. Since then, Russia had surprised everybody by not just recovering but improving enough to demolish the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, while Spain had been winning withut exactly bowling people over.
And yet this game finished with an almost identical three-goal victory for Spain. Russia apparently peaked in the previous round, while Spain have taken the confidence from their penalty win over Italy and are cruising into the final. (Not only have they vanquished their nemesis Italy, but now they’ve overcome the bad luck that was supposedly attached to their yellow away kits. Although those are still fugly. Whatever happened to the white away kits? I liked those. Especially in the rain. Um.)

Well Russia’s campaign has come to an end after a 0-3 loss to Spain in the semi-finals. Given this was the semi-finals, I think that the Russian team can exit this tournament proudly after putting up a good display. This was the best football I’ve seen from the Russian national team since I can remember. Having watched the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO 2004, its pretty obvious this is the best Russian team since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Spain produced a superb display to cruise past Russia and set up a Euro 2008 final against Germany on Sunday. Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas was the driving force behind the win after coming on as substitute for injured David Villa. Xavi turned home Andres Iniesta’s cross after 50 minutes and substitute Daniel Guiza converted a superb pass from Fabregas with 17 minutes left. Fabregas played in David Silva for a simple third after 82 minutes as a disappointing Russia ended well beaten. The only cloud on Spain’s horizon was the first-half injury to Villa, who will now miss the final clash with Germany in Vienna.
And for our friends from Spain:
Tras un primer tiempo en el que la roja arrancó mejor, pero que los rusos emparejaron, se presagiaba un juego parejo hasta el final. Sin embargo, fue tan sólo comenzar la segunda parte para que los españoles empezaran a sentenciar el juego. Xavi a los 50´ marcó el primero. Con el juego dominado llegaron los otros dos goles: el de Dani Guiza al 73´ y el de David Silva al 82´.
Ahora sí, basta de especulaciones. España está en la final. Su rival será nada menos que la histórica Alemania, un equipo del que no se puede fiar. La única duda para el domingo será la de saber si podrá jugar David Villa, quien se retiró lesionado frente a los rusos.
