Charlton North Downs is touting 2-0 Russian win in this evening's semi. The Russians certainly look stronger with Arshavin in their line-up and will be keen to atone for their 4-1 thumping in their first encounter. However, I believe the Spaniards will retain a physchological edge and will be good enough to win again. I fancy Torres to get on the scoresheet and can see a 2-1 Spanish victory.
Either way, the final should be an interesting match-up; we either get the large, strong, disciplined Germans (tallest side in the competition?) against the smaller, quick-passing and moving Spanish (smallest?), or we get a fascinating Germany v Russia clash with all it's historic emnity and significance. I suspect a Germany v Spain final might be the better spectacle - Germany v Russia could be a niggly affair - then again, maybe the players (youth?) of today don't have the same sense of my history and it would just be another game?
