Will ibrahimovic play?

Should be good.

Will Lagerback play for a tie?

I'm sure he'd like to win, but we all know he'll be as cautious as always and the defense always comes first.

Do we know if Ibrahimovic is playing yet?

No flames and no trolls


thank you

I really hope Russia make it, I really like the way they play, they're just tough and honest. In their last game there was a couple of times if the Russian player had gone to ground he'd have gotten a penalty but he stayed on his feet and got nothing. I just hope that doesn't become their downfall.

If Hiddink can get this injury-hit Russian side into the quarter finals of the European cup, it will be another confirmation of his greatness.

Mind you, with the award of a victory being a match with the rampant Dutch - I reckon both teams actually try and LOSE!

I understand Arshavin is back from suspension and will play his first game. Big plus for Russia.

Holland should be hoping for a Russian win, because they'll score like 5 goals on that defense.

Sweden is no doubt the more defensive solid and clever playing team and they should be able to beat Russia, but I think neither Russia or Sweden stand much chance of getting a result against the Dutch.. I think the Netherlands and Croatia are going to reach the final...

I'm rooting for the Netherlands all the way so I guess I'm rooting Russia. which i guess means I'm also rooting Swedes. Russia can't advance with a tie right?
