    I like him, but I bet you''ll get people saying ''you can't judge him on one game''..despite the fact that a lot of people have done this.

    Then people laugh at my McGeady comparison despite the fact they have seen Arshavin play at most 5 times.

    Arshavin is 10 times the player McGeady is! :p

    Spain 3-0 Russia

    I thought it was a good game. Things were close enough until Spain got that first goal. Both teams had half-chances up to then. Indeed, Russia had the biggest chance of all and Palyuchenko rushed a chance from all of 8 yards and poked it wide. So things could have been different.

    The 1st Spanish goal had some fortune in it as Iniesta was actually shooting, a poor shot which was poked in and through the legs of the Russian keeper from 6 yards or so. But once that goal went in, it was mainly Spain. It was the first test for Russia as it was the first time they were behind in a match in the tournament, apart from the 4-1 drubbing they got from the hands of Spain. They took more risks going forward, the game became more open, and it allowed Spain to exploit it and get another two goals. Guiza got one, which is not good news for Torres. He may be subbed again in the final. Fabregas was instrumental and had come on for an injured Villa.

    Overall, Spain fully deserved the win. For the many people that eulogised Arse-shaving, they went overboard on a match against Holland where a few things came off favourably. Yes, he is good as was seen in the Uefa Cup run. But one match does not a player make. Last night things didnt go right at all for him, his runs were not met with supply and his passes went astray. Maybe his mind is on a move to Barcelona. He will have better games.

    Now to the final .... it will be close.
