@mark_meadows aren't you forgetting that Arshavin's through ball was actually meant for Kerzhakov??

@RTRSPhil @ReutersLvivEuro question is: how's the vodka ? Better than in Scandinavia ?

by europretot via twitter 6/8/2012 7:46:56 PM
@milominder will you be travelling to Kiev before the final ?

by europretot via twitter 6/8/2012 7:48:09 PM
it's certainly cheaper

by Warren 6/8/2012 7:48:26 PM
I seem to remember Russia pouring on the counter-attacking style four years ago then falling horribly flat in the semis

by Warren 6/8/2012 7:49:37 PM
@EuroPretot Alas returning home on 16th to prep for Olympics, in Warsaw throughout. You coming to London?

Arshavin must need a new contract. he hasnt played this well for four years

@EuroPretot Excellent, let's grab a Pouilly Fume somewhere and put the world to rights. Your money on Wiggo for the TdF?

by milominder via twitter 6/8/2012 7:54:52 PM
@milominder yep.

by europretot via twitter 6/8/2012 7:55:27 PM
Czechs pull one back, a cool finish by Vaclav Pilar having rounded the keeper.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 7:55:57 PM
The Russian keeper Vyacheslav Malafeyev learned from the earlier game there. He pulled out of making a challenge that he was not the favourite to win unlike Poland's Wojciech Szczesny who was sent off.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 7:58:34 PM
@EuroPretot @ReutersLvivEuro It's cheaper. Any more than that, I can't tell you. =)

by RTRSPhil via twitter 6/8/2012 7:58:48 PM
I think we will qualify with Russia.

by Happy Pole 6/8/2012 7:59:11 PM
Russians look fit and fresh too. Will Spain and Germany?

What a pass from Arshavin….class

@Reuters Sports The mood was good. Some people were unhappy but to not lose is good. Russia game is key. A draw there then beat Czechs and Poland into the quarters.

@sgevans not sure Spain and Germany will be fresh and fit for game 1 but they'll be for the quarter-finals -- remember France in 2006

Like Barca, Russia always have a man available for a pass

Czech fans beginning to lose hope. Though Russia have waned since their brilliant first half.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 8:16:07 PM
@ua_intelligence Noted! thanks for the offer!!

by RTRSPhil via twitter 6/8/2012 8:20:40 PM
@ua_intelligence Love it so far, whole city seems to be taken over by the #Euro2012 fever ;)

by RTRSPhil via twitter 6/8/2012 8:21:08 PM
Poor by Cech- should have had that but again a perfectly-weighted Russain pass splits the Czechs

by RTRSPhil via twitter 6/8/2012 8:22:22 PM
Dzagoyev making an early running for player of the tournament. Quality from the CSKA Moscow man.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 8:23:31 PM
@sgevans you going to Warsaw? Will be there on tues for Poland game...

by christophcook via twitter 6/8/2012 8:24:26 PM
Dictionary definition of "slack defending" there. Czechs exposed, game over. #euro2012 #em2012

by RTRSPhil via twitter 6/8/2012 8:24:39 PM
Roman Pavlyuchenko makes it four with a sterling effort.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 8:24:53 PM
@RTRSPhil Very observant, Game over, yeah, it's 4-1

by John_Barrington via twitter 6/8/2012 8:25:12 PM
Another weak hand from Cech. Not helped by his defence but you'd expect better from a class keeper. #euro2012 #em2012

by RTRSPhil via twitter 6/8/2012 8:25:20 PM
Nice pass from Arshavin, then the ex-Tottenham striker bided his time before pulling the trigger. Cech got a hand but into the roof of the net.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 8:25:26 PM
@christophcook unf not. In Ukraine for the duration

by Simon Evans via twitter 6/8/2012 8:25:40 PM
Wenger must wonder who that #Arshavin is... #euro2012

by europretot via twitter 6/8/2012 8:26:56 PM
Dzagoyev off the pitch. Warm reception.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 8:27:58 PM
Replaced by the 21-year-old Alexander Kokorin.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 8:28:27 PM
@rtrsphil I planed to propose excursiones to PoltavaBattle Museum ow.ly Do you think it would be interesting to Swedish fans?

by ua_intelligence via twitter 6/8/2012 8:30:54 PM
@ua_intelligence Always worth a try- why not go to the Swedish corner in the Fan Zone and see? Nice people there =)
