First, if you haven't had a chance to see the Holland goals from yesterday, run to youtube and find them. Unbelievable, from the controversial Ruud opener to the clinical end-to-end counterattack goals of Sneijder and Gio. The second goal in particular has to be a top ten all-time Euro goal contender.
On to the matches today. My esteemed colleague on this site doesn't think much of Spain winning it all, but they should still be a good bet to get out of the group. I see them coming out like a house on fire against the Ruskis today, winning 3-1. I agree there is a good chance they will be engulfed in flames at some point early in the knockout phase.
In the second match, Sweden does what Europe couldn't do four years ago - spanks Greece. Lazarus, er, Larsson gets one for the Swedes and they cruise to victory, 2-0.

You must be feeling good about your predictions today, mine are looking less relevant. I must say russia looked good on the counter, their defense was gradeschool though.
