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.

FFS! The digital box cut me off for recording two separate programmed just as that was happening. I've seen one goal out of six so far.

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.

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).
