Russia and Spain are showing an impressive soccer game at the Euro 2008 semifinal in Vienna. The first half is over and the two soccer teams are taking a little rest after playing 45 minutes under pouring rain. We will keep this thread open. Post your comments as this will be the life thread for Euro 2008 semifinal. UPDATE: Russia Spain 0-3. Goal on 49th minute.

The coach of Spain Luis Aragones chose the same team during today's Euro 2008 semifinal that beat Russia 4-1 in their opening match. The match between Russia and Spain is at the Ernst Happel stadium, and the second half will start in few minutes.

Striker David Villa, who scored a hat-trick against the Russians, partnered Fernando Torres up front while Cesc Fabregas, who scored the other goal, started on the bench again. However Villa was very seriously injured and had to leave the game as Fabregas took his place.

Spanish players are showing a good game as well as Russia, but Russians are not showing the same game that they demonstrated against Netherlands. May be it is the rain that slows down the game.

Let's look forward to the second half and see how the coaches will make the changes to spice up the game during the rest of the match.

If Spain wins the game it will play against Germany. If Russia wins this game it will be something astonishing for Russia and in the history of soccer, as the National Soccer Team of Russia has never come this far in Euro Cup of UEFA.
