Russia were asking for it playing like shit. And Greece just did what they do. I doubt they'll repeat what they did in 2004, but props for showing heart.

Russia has been overrated before the Euro and especially after the first game.

No theyve been rated appropriately, they were flattered by the scoreline against Czechs sure but they are a significantly better team than all the other ones in the group. Atleast they should be.

Better teams dont always win, thats just how it is.

Russia can only blame themselves for their misses. I can't see the EURO 2004 scenario returns because the big teams are stronger, Germany on ro8 and lights out (hopefully) for Greece,

Both winning teams tonight celebrated like crazy, like they won the cup. It was amazing combo.

I so hate football at times when an ugly team that did nothing qualifies and the most beautiful team in the damn group is eliminated. Russia played good football, was always on attacks with no dirty tricks while greece turtled like a bloody bw tvt and managed to score out of a stupid mistake then dirty tricks all the way so time goes out faster.

This is football, it's all about efficiency not spectacular playing.

Greece defended like champs that game and even had better chances to score -- they fully deserved the win.

Ah Russia played bad, Greece defended really well. Wanted Russia to smash them, but shit happens I guess.

Russia and even USSR before them are always techinique-based team, great at attacking but they got one serious problem. Their mentality is weak, once they are behind they are not likely to come back and this happen again.
Grats for the Greece though, somehow they always get their opponent to gift goals for them somehow O_O.

Wait.. they just showed the groups on TV. Why does Russia not go through? They have a higher goal difference.. I thought it didn't come down to head to head ?

Seriously, I hope they meet up with Germany and the Germans roll them. Grats to them and the Czechs though, they earned it even if I can't stand the Greek team at all.
