The Netherlands look like the strongest team in the tournament so far. And will Russia deliver an upset. I'm thinking Netherlands will easily cruise into the Semi Finals. But you gotta hand it to Russia, they deserve to be in the Quarterfinals. 3-1 Netherlands with Russia scoring a goal in the last 10 mins of the game. On another note, Once again Turkey never seizes to amaze me. And what a match that was. Croatia had it if they could hold on for 1 more minute. Thats it, Im picking Turkey as my fav team right now and hope they reach the final. |

I think the Netherlands will win pretty easily too, but then again, I called 2-0 Portugal.  |

Wow, I kinda saw that coming. I knew Netherlands would stumble somewhere around the quarter finals. Russia really played a great game. Netherlands almost pulled a "Turkey" but their bad defense didn't allow them to go to penalties. I think its pretty clear if Italy or Spain win that they will be in the final. Russia might run out of gas here. Thoughts?

The Russians are so much better with Arsharvin - he will be a target for next season...
They outplayed the Dutch and deserved the win, the only misgivings I have about them now is that they missed so many of the chances that they made!
I fancy them compared to any other team right now, I think Germany might be the only ones to trouble them

For what it's worth, I can see Russia beating Spain.... though they may struggle to beat the Spanish keeper who is looking particularly good. It's tricky to call as I think Fabregas and Villa and Torres should be able to beat most teams, but Arsharvin will be a handful I reckon...
