Defending Champions Greece are out of Euro'2008 with a game left following their second successive 1-0 defeat, this time to Russia. The result meant that Spain are through from Group D while Sweden and Russia go head-to-head in hte final game, a must win for the Russians but a draw would suffice for the Swedes.
It was an unremarkable contest and, in that vein, was decided by Zyryanov who scored from close range, set up by a team-mate making the most of an error by the Greek keeper.
Chances were missed by both side, a couple were sitters, but the Greeks were second best and never threatened to progress beyond the group phase so will be going home in 5 days. It's very likely they'll be joined by The Russians who haven't shown a great deal to worry Wales in the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Nothing else to be added ... especially as I didn't watch any of it other than the goal!
