From BBC Gossip:

Russia's players have been promised two gorgeous girls for every goal they score against Spain in tonight's Euro 2008 semi-final by socialite Pyotr Listerman. (The Sun)

Prediction: Russia 3 (Pavluchenko 2 Arshavin 1) Spain 2 (Villa and Torres)

Spain is the better team... just not sure if that will be enough to overcome the magical ride Russia's been on, that team is really clicking, something that can't really be said about Spain.

I surprised they ent fold up yet...all hype and big name players and nuttin to show for it.

I want them gone. I ent like Aragones neither after he make the negro de mierda remarks bout Henry.

Lets Go RUSSIA.

In fact I want Russia win this Euro...if Greece could do it who is dem.

dinho · « **Reply #5 on:** June 26, 2008, 11:30:52 AM »

not only Aragones, but the Spanish federation eh bat ah eyelid after that mark buss..

i dont normally like to let the off de field politics get in the way of backing a football team, but it is really like they sanction racism with their lack of interest in dealing with. really cyah bring mehself to back dem.

sad though, because they have plenty players i like on that side, like Senna, Ramos, Villa and Silva..

Well, if racism is a deciding factor in support here ... then I feel comfortable in casting myself as a neutral.

I eh know if this is a good thing, but those Russians Hate everybody equally

"Racism in Russia during the 2000s appears in the form of negative attitudes and actions towards people who are not considered ethinically Russian. This includes antisemitism and a general demeaning attitude to northern indigenous peoples of Russia, as well as hostility towards various Caucasian/Central Asian ethnicities (whether of Orthodox Christian or Muslim faith)."

Ent? I was just gonna say the same thing....

But I'll stick to football and back the Russians. For all the neat skilful players that Spain has, I find their brand to be dull, rife with long periods of lateral non-penetrative passing and mono-pace general play....It's a shame because I think they have the talent to not only be one of the better teams in Europe but one of the more stylish teams in the World....

They thumped Russia in the 1st round, but the scoreline flattered them a bit and I think Hiddink will be better prepared for them this time around...If Russia can find the same form that they produced against the Dutch they will hand deliver a sound ass-whooping to Spain....but my guess is as good as any others'.

I backing Spain. I find that brand is the best in the tournament.

probably Spain's best performer of the torney so far, in my book only Ramos denying him that honour this game
