MATCH THREAD: Russia vs. Czech Republic - Euro 2012 Group A - KO 7:45

[Elong]

One of the Spanish commentators mentioned the dilema the Russian boss has. Play Pavlyuchenko (a goal and an assistis is screaming for a place in the first team) or start with Kerzakhov who wore the defence down for him to be fair

My goodness Kerzakhov was worse than Carroll in front of goal though.

Sounds like a winning formula doing exactly what he did yesterday. Start with Kerzakhov and bring Pav off the bench.

Also why the hell are Russia good now? Pissing me off.

 

[Elong]

Dark horses, they were paying $17 over here before the game, that'd be halved by now knowing the tight arses in this country FFS.

 

[The T-Dex]

Dick Advocaat has them playing very good counter attacking football in fairness.

 

[The Equaliser]

Russia have been boss for about 5 or 6 years now from when Hiddink took over. They were brilliant in the last Euros and only missed out on WC 2010 on the away goals rule in the play-offs.

 

[RFUS]

It's amazing how they were so good and won by a healthy margin, when Kerzakov was so utterly woeful. He genuinely should have had a hat-trick.

 

[The T-Dex]

I really liked Kerzakhov in the champions league too, was unbelievable how wasteful he was.

Shirokov is looking very good.

I'm watching this match now on catch up, gebra sellasie the Czech right back would solve all our right back problems, and if the commentator says Pilar exactly the same as Pienaar then i'll find him and chin him.
