Russia progresses, Sweden’s out
18/06/2008So Russia goes on to beat Sweden 2-0 today. Being Russian myself, I sort-of wanted Sweden to win actually, but the Russians really proved themselves today. They dominated the match and created lots of great opportunities. With an aggressive start and a fine opener in the 24th minute, followed by another goal in the 50th, they sealed the lead in a game where they were the underdogs (having lost to Spain 4-1 and barely beating Greece 1-0).
Good job Russia and I’ll be watching you in the next round.
