Sources in Russia suggest that the Russian attacker, Andrei Arshavin is very close to signing for Barclays Premier League team Chelsea. The 27 year old Russian international attracted clubs interest in him will his recent performances in Euro 2008 which saw Russia being eliminated at the semifinals by eventual champions Spain.
Among the other clubs that have shown interest in the midfielder are Spanish powerhouse Barcelona who a one point seemed like they had already sealed the deal. It was reported that club owner and Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich told newly appointed coach Luiz Felipe Scholari he wanted a compatriot at the club and Scholari made a last minute bid for the player that might indeed lure him to Stamford Bridge.
The Zenit St. Petersburg player is reported to have already flown to London to do a medical with Chelsea.
Same result for Russians as Spain Progress to Euro 2008 final Live Online
Euro 2008 favorites Spain today progressed to the final of Euro 2008 following their 3-0 win over Guus Hiddink’s Russia in a repeat of their Group D opening game which saw the Russians being defeated 4-1.
It was a tight first half with both teams making their intentions very clear but neither was able to find the breakthrough. At half time both teams were leveled at 0-0 and it seemed the Russians had improved since the encounter with the Spanish but there was still a lot of soccer to be played.
Play resumed and it came as no surprise that Spain had the better of possession and it was only a matter of time before they took the lead and they did, with just four minutes gone in the second half Spain grabbed the lead through Xavi.
It began to look ominous for the Russians as the Spanish dominated the midfield through Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas, but the Russians never looked like they were about to give and they tried relentlessly to get the equalizer but saw all their efforts nullified by a Spanish defense that seemed to be in training.
Spain kept knocking on the Russian defense and got their second through substitute Güiza after being supplied with a delightful pass from Fabregas. With only nine minutes remaining in the game and the Russians seemingly stunned; Spain scored their third through Silva and it was 3-0 to Spain.
Spain now have a 100% win record at the Euros and maybe tipped as favorites for the final on Sunday in Vienna against world cup 2006 host nation Germany.

Euro 2008 Prematch Analysis: Russia vs Spain Live Online
June 25, 2008 by Kerron · Leave a Comment
European Championships Semi Final 2
Teams: Russia vs Spain
Date and Time: 20:45 CET – Thursday, June 26, 2008
Venue: Ernst Happel, Vienna
Match official:
Both teams met in their opening fixture in the group stages of the competition where the Spanish won 4-1, but a lot has happened since then. It’s the semi finals of Euro 2008 and both Spain and Russia can create history by being in the final on Sunday. But which team will come out victorious?
The Rematch
It must come as a conventional surprise to many that the Russians have made it this far in the Euros, but should it be surprising given the many exploits of the esteemed coach Guus hiddink?
The Russians star player CSKA Moscow forward Andrei Arshavin who did not feature in the opener will be hoping to make a difference in this crucial game.
The Russians will feature the same defense as they did in the first game and will be hoping they learnt from that experience.
The Spanish will be looking for repeat of the opener and will not doubt be cognizant of the Russian star Arshavin. The Spanish will also need to change their approach in midfield as a tighter midfield is expected by the Russians.
The outcome of this match will depend largely on each team’s ability to adapt and scoring opportunities is expected to be at a minimal even with the attacking minded Spanish. the subs could be the differnce in this game.
A Look at the teams
Russia
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Ivan Saenko and Alexander Anyukov all have slight injuries but should be fit to play. Kolodin and attacking midfielder Dmitry Torbinski are both suspended.
Spain
From all indications Coach Aragonés will name the same team that that faced the Russians in the Spain’s opener with Villa and Torres in front of David Silva, Xavi, Andrés Iniesta and Marcos Senna.
PREDICTION
The Russians have certainly grown since the group stages of the Euros and the Spanish seem to have lost their momentum as seen in their last game which they won on penalties. The Russians though will be familiar with the Spanish forwards and will hope to do a better job at making them. Spain seems to have lost their scoring shoes and must now try to do what they did in the group stages but with the Euros at stake. It will be close and the possibility of penalties looms, nonetheless the Russians should take it.
Spain 1 – 2 Russia

June 21, 2008 by Kerron · Leave a Comment The Mentor vs the Student As both teams go head to head in a clash that promises to be a full of excitement and drama; the stage is set for the mentor Hiddink and Russia to do battle with his student Van Basten and a Dutch team that has proven to be Euro 2008 hottest team in scintillating form and possible championship contenders. Hiddink started his international coaching career with Holland, having been appointed in 1994 to lead them to the European Championship quarter-finals two years later, as well as all the way to the World Cup semis before stepping down in ’98, following two dramatic penalty shoot-out eliminations to Brazil. His exploits with modest South Korea and Australia enhanced his reputation as one of the best in the world in his line of work, but now he finds himself in front of one of the biggest challenges of his career. Marco van Basten never been afraid to say how highly he thinks of Hiddink’s work, but he’s certainly not done badly himself. Should he guide the Dutch past his mentor’s team, he could still become the sole person to have lifted the Henri Delaunay trophy both as a player and as a coach. A Look at the teams Netherlands Boulahrouz has declared that he will play despite his personal tradgedy, Van Basten has no problems with team selection. And although he made nine changes to his starting XI against Romania compared to the match before, it is possible that the lineup will be far more similar to the Italy and France game. Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, are all coming back to full fitness and will be looking to cement their place in the team. Possible Starting XI (4-3-3): Ed van der Sar – Mario Melchiot (Boulahrouz / André Ooijer), Ooijer (Boulahrouz), Joris Mathijsen, Gio van Bronckhorst – Nigel de Jong, Ollie Engelaar, Rafael van der Vaart – Van Persie (Dirk Kuyt), Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wes Sneijder (Robben). Russia Much like Holland, Russia has no notable selection concerns and will be able to field their strongest possible team, obviously including Andrei Arshavin, who deservedly won the Man of the Match Award against the Swedes. Possible Starting XI (4-5-1): Igor Akinfeev – Aleksandr Anyukov, Sergei Ignashevich, Denis Kolodin, Yuri Zhirkov – Sergei Semak, Igor Semshov, Konstantin Zyryanov, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Arshavin – Roman Pavlyuchenko. PLAYERS TO WATCH Netherlands Robin van Persie Coming off an injury that saw him missing most of the season for Arsenal; now he’s injury-free right when it matters the most, the Arsenal star is back with a vengeance to show his true colors. With substitute appearances in the first two matches of the group stage, he scored against France and again versus Romania, in which he started. This could be the game he’s remembered for. Russia Andrei Arshavin The Russian Player of the Year of both 2005 and 2006 added spice to Russia in the Sweden game after missing the two before due to suspension. And indeed the fact that Hiddink included him in the 23-man party despite that ban only shows the Dutchman’s faith in his abilities to lead the team; he assists as well as scores. Should he play well the Russians could be in with a fight. PREDICTION The Dutch are certainly the favorites in this encounter, with a host of players in scintillating form and a frightening wealth of talent at their disposal. Having disposed of world champions Italy and perennial powerhouse France comprehensively, the Dutch have made themselves Euro 2008 favorites. But perhaps they won’t go through that easily, against a side with a never-say-die attitude which also enjoys its own passing game. Netherlands – Russia 3-1 Don’t miss out On all the action.
