Video: Russia/ Sweden and Greece/ Spain highlights


Russia and Spain complete the final eight

Russia/ Sweden Highlights

Last night in Innsbruck, some old Scandinavian men were given an early summer holiday by some spritely Russians. Elsewhere, some Dutch people were starting to get quite concerned.

Greece/ Spain highlights

Meanwhile, the team whose only Euro 2004 defeat was at the hands of Russia managed to lose all three of their games this time round. Bravo.

How to double your value, by David Villa

Spain/ Russia Highlights

Spurs and Chelsea are just two of the pack of clubs racing to steal David Villa away from Valencia, but after last night’s hat-trick they’ll performance, they’ll have to part with at least £25million for the privelege.

Greece/ Sweden highlights

Over in Salzburg, Greece and Sweden did their best to bore the shit out of us for an hour, but thankfully Inter’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic (see his lovely WAG here) woke us from the coma by slotting home a superb goal of the tournament contender.

Vote: Who will win Euro 2008?


Which nation will prize silverware from Greek hands?

Greece Euro 2004

Without a British team on which to place unreasonable expectations in Euro 2008, it’s time to pick a side in order to make the next three weeks vaguely interesting. The Germans are favourites at 4/1, despite the fact that they haven’t won a game in the past two tournaments. But who will you go with? The unlucky Spaniards? The solid Portuguese? Votes and comments below, please.
