Spain and Portugal are firm favorites to go through. But Spain's famous 'underachiver' tag follows them everywhere and they seldom disppoint in that regard. Portugal will have home crowd advantage which will count greatly but thier unpredictability could balance it out. Russia always were and still are underdogs and Greek team is fairly inexperienced one but a slip up from the favorites could sneak either of them through.

Yes I think Spain and Portugal but I won't write off the Russians, they might just sneak through at the expense of Spain.
Russian's are old horses. They are jinxed from the days of the 80's when the refs gave them bad decisions because of their soviet government.
Russia is just a power on paper, but when it comes to the field they never perform. The same thing is with the Czech, and they have Pavel Nedved!
Only few more hours left ladies and gentleman!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait.

The show begins today. Best of luck to all the teams.
Oh dear.. 1-0 for Greece.
The stadium is shut quiet. What a mess up by the Portugal defenders. Greece will probably defend like they've never done in their life. To win a game against Portugal in Euro 2004, would be a dream come true.
Greece leads 2-0. Who had imagined it?

Portugal have a habit of coming back from behind, let's see if it works for them today it worked against England.

First match, first upset.
Now for Portugal it has become very difficult to qualify for the quarter finals. Winning against Spain and Russia will not be an easy task. They have given away 3 points.
Greece Won!! They played very well. Ofcourse one who plays well, will win!!
Now let's see Spain Vs Russia!!

Spain 1 Russia 0
The Russian played poorly. During the match there were 8 Yellow and 1 Red card.
Throughout the first half, all you ever saw in the Spain match were missed chances.
Kind of one sided encounter.
