Spain will play Russia today to move into the semifinals

Everyone agrees. This Russia is not the same as that faced Spain in the first phase.

This is the Russian who eliminated the Netherlands after amaze with their attacking play and put four goals past France and three in Italy. This is not the Russia to which Spain won 4-1.

The starting line of our choice will be the same as that Luis Aragones has accustomed us. He will say that if we change what has worked. Maybe Iniesta out of starting lineup was good, and not that of Albacete is picking good performances and Cazorla is winning the starting job since leaving in the first game.

The story with us. Both times we managed to reach the semifinals we reached the final. Luis Aragones is confident that the news of his move to Turkish club Fenerbahce does not affect the morale of the players. I think not, Mr.. Guus Hiddink gave Spain as a favorite.

At 2045 continental time the match starts. At 2230 we know whether Spain is in the final, where hopes and Germany.
