Well outside Scotland, I always find myself rooting for the Swedes, so my heart is going with them.
If it was purely based on entertainment value, then the Russians should win it, but that's as far as you'll go in the competition, even with Arse-havin back. :)
Oh and Pavyluchenko is a donkey, so I struggle to see where your goals are gonna come from. |

hahaha Pavlyuchenko is a ing ball hog. That fool is one of the major reasons Russia has a hard time scoring goals. That ****** needs to dump the ball more often! ugh |

Heheh, yeah he is a bit selfish in and around the goal. You had one guy that plays for Zenit St.Petersburg, big tall fellow, Pogrebnyak, who's a decent player and he would of made a difference for you guys, but he's injured.
Grrrr I'm torn at the moment : the swedes, or the team that kept England out of the Euros :conf: |

| I'd love to see Hiddink make it out of the groups :) Must be awkward for him to face the Dutch team, especially now that they're playing so well. I sense some humorous press conferences if Hiddink makes it :D |

I actually felt a bit sorry for him when Spain thrashed his team 4-1. That made him the only manager in Euro history to get thrashed 4-1 managing two different national teams against different opposition :D |

Took a half day tomorrow. Gonna party it up with the Russian contingent here in Baltimore.
Of course I'm rooting for Russia - they're getting better with every game. The only thing is that if we do win this we play Netherlands... Just can't win these days. |

This one is just unpredictable. I'll go for sweden because of their solid defence and Zlatan. Plus Russia is missing some key players.
1-2 |

yeah would be cool, facing his home country of which he even was coach back in the days. |

haha yeah. I say root for the Russians, as they are probably the biggest underdog. :)

While they have a solid defense, they sit on their ass 2/3 of the game. The game against Spain, they dominated 1/3 of the time, but the other 2/3 is when Spain dominated the possession time and owned them. |
