Netherlands vs. Russia
Russia was able to squeeze past Greece who did little to impress anyone through their brief stint in Euro 2008; beat an aging Swedish club pretty handily with their chances to advance on the line, but was decapitated by Spain 4-1 in their tournament opener.
Holland on the other hand dismantled every team in the "Group of Death" winning every game by at least two goals.
I think that with Van Nistelrooy and Van Persie lurking around the box it’s safe to say some would bet just about all my money and probably the clothes off their back that the Deutsch have a cakewalk with the Russians.
Spain vs. Italy
A match the many assumed we would see in the finals will have the eyes of the world upon it on Sunday night.
As the favorites of many, Spain and World Cup Champion Italians take the pitch.
There's one thing for sure: those guys have some great hair!
The last time I saw that many hair ties on one field it was halftime of the Super Bowl.
Italy's defense has been suspect at best throughout the tournament. Gianluigi Buffon seemed to have used every clean sheet he had in the World Cup in 2006.
The game will come down to Fernando Torres and Luca Toni's ability to stay onside and get behind the back four of their opponent's.
