[KingPaulV]

Spain

vs Russia

Tivoli Neu, Innsbruck

My Prediction 2-1

 

[Arnau]

8-0, iniesta 6 goals, puyol 1 and xavi other.

 

[KingPaulV]

yeah of course Arnau, why didnt I see this coming...

 

[UltrasViola]

hard game for spain, the ruskies have a good coach.

prediction 2-1 for SPAIN

 

[snoppf1]

This will be fun.

6-2 spain, Xavi or iniesta hat-trick

 

[IORI]

2-1
yeah hard GAME for Spain

 

[ziros]

1-1

Spain scores early, spends 70 minutes passing the ball around, and then in the last ten minutes Russia in a 3-passes play scores. Then they will have 2 o 3 more chances, and finally Spain will luckily get a draw (the usual script for Spain, hope to be awake by that time).

 

[Tosiek]

0:1 for Russians

 

[mogolos]

0-2 for Russia, simply and clearly, because that's football.

 

[theo]

tough one for Spain but I think they can manage to get a good result.

should be entertaining.

 

[Hepoas]

I bet 2-1 for Spain. Torres*2

 

[Cuong]

1 - 2 for Russia. Spain always have a lot of good players. But in football, good player isn't enough.

 

[UltrasViola]

at the break Spain is up 2-0

goals by david villa

 

[Fernandez]

Brilliant match so far . Russians have been quite open and they hit the post. Nevertheless, they are losing 2-0 after a bit of brilliance by the Spanish and David Villa. I think the second goal could rival The Netherlands' goals yesterday for goal of the tournament so far. Awesome game.

 

[Arnau]

villa/torres = fantastic
xavi/iniesta = started poor but keep grown (iniesta pass in second goal is amazing)
ramos = patetic, very bad positioned
puyol= doing his work and ramos one very well.

 

[MaestroZidane]

great game so far.. I feel the russians will attack early on and get one back. Will be interesting to see were this one goes

 

[Hepoas]

God I love Spain..

 

[Gunnersgoal22]

GREAT football from Spain, good footbal from Russia. Torres and Villa have great chemistry and play off each other really well. If Spain can keep up this form and tighten up in the back they can really be a force.

Best game of the tournament so far in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if these teams meet up again later in the tournament.

 

[Tosiek]

David Villa - El Crack!

 

[MaestroZidane]

villa with the hat trick.. So much for my prediction..
