Kerzhakov's actually pretty good, tbh. Had a great domestic season and works well within the structure of the team. His finishing has been awful, though. Pav or Pogrebnyak for the last twenty minutes would have finished them off.

The Soviet sides, did they have any Inzaghi types? I remember them as all robotic fullbacks and cultured passing midfielders.

Pavlyuchenko and Arshavin look useful. I can see big Premier League clubs coming in for them.

Wojciech Szczesny has had an absolute nightmare
He's no Artur Boruc, that's for sure. Czechs were rubbish in qualifying, so bad that Scotland would have finnished ahead of them if that cheatin' Czech hadn't dived in the 90th minute @ Hampden and Levein hadn't pioneered his novel 5-5-0 formation in Prague.
― Tom D (Tom D.), Saturday, 9 June 2012 10:42 (fourteen years ago)
Give the guy some credit, it was a much more attacking 4-6-0 (with the wide men coming back to cover as a 6-4-0 when we didn't have the ball, which was always).

I enjoyed yesterday a lot more than I'd expected to - Poland v Greece was the most entertaining opening game in several years. Also lol Szczesny.
Russia looked great yesterday, I still love Pav, but it's pretty easy to see them absolutely storming through the group stages and running out of steam in time for the knockout stages.

― boxall, Saturday, 9 June 2012 14:00 (fourteen years ago)
Yeah xp, Russia look a lot like Spain did before they started winning things. I reckon the mantle of 'greatest underachievers' is theirs now (that'd make a great tournament - it gets played in reverse, and Russia get the title by getting beaten by Mexico in the semis, who in turn lose the final to England on penalties)
