18': Arshavin plays a perfect through ball, Zyryanov messes up the cross, but the Russians get a corner.

13': Arshavin header goes wide of the goal.
12': Ljungberg roughs up Akinfeev... might be because he thinks he's cute.. but who am i to judge?
10': Kolodin shoots from far away.. I think he's still hung over from the vodka last night. Why would any defender want to shoot from that far out?
10': Ibrahimovic gets at the end of the cross, but Akinfeev has no trouble picking it up.
8': Foul Russia, not close enough for a dangerous strike at goal.
6': Arshavin makes an instant impact. Russia are playing around in the box of the Swedes.

Too Bad Romania out --are you going to be for Spain vs. Italy?
Spain. Italy showed nothing and didn't deserve to qualify.
