In Group D are Spain, Russia, Greece and Sweden. Greece is the current champion of the Euro and they will defend the title but since it was qualify to this Euro, they have only shown doubts. In their last friendly have not given good feelings, have a low level, winning 2-0 to Cyprus, losing to Hungary 2-3 and a draw 0-0 against Armenia. Sweden has also shown a very low level in their friendlies, playing very badly, winning against Slovenia 1-0 and losing 0-1 against Ukraine. So I think that Russia and Spain are the favourites in this group to move into quarter-finals. Russia will lose to Arshavin by penalty in the first two games and Pogrebnyak by injury (player in Zenit, who scored 10 goals in the Uefa Cup), but even with these setbacks have good young players, is fraught with potential future stars and we remember that Russia, with Croatia, left outside this Euro to England. The big brains of Russia is Zyrianov (Zenit's player) and they have a very technical front like is Pavlyuchenko (Spartak Moscow), besides having on the bench as contrasted to a coach Guus Hiddink is. Spain for its part has brought to Austria a great team that should not have trouble moving to the quarter-finals.
