Spain , Holland, Germany, Uruguay : how the final four coincide with your expectations ?
Vasily BerezutskyDefender CSKA and Russian national team :
- Presence of Uruguay in the Quartet , of course , no one expected , but otherwise no big surprises there , although predicted just such a composition prize winners was difficult . But in Germany you can be sure always, all of Spain was called the favorite , while the Netherlands is a very good team that could shoot another Euro, if it did not stop the Russian team . Among those who were waiting to see the four were , of course, Brazil with Argentina, but during the tournament it became clear that they place on the podium does not deserve. We have carried CSKA ” guessing “, so here I am ” knocked out ” both of these teams just at the stage of the quarter .
Anatoly Byshovets, ex – head coach of the USSR / CIS / Russia:
- Spain, Holland and Germany partly coincided . Uruguay – no . But one hundred percent of Spaniards saw the champions and even predicted their victory in the final 1:0.
Nikolai Levnikov, former president of the Russian College football referees :
- Spain , Holland , Germany – yes . Contact with the top four of Uruguay has become for me a surprise . He awaited his place to see Brazil or Argentina .
Alexander BRIDGEEx- midfielder USSR / CIS / Russia:
- Half . Always saying : Spain – one of the favorites . Well, to some extent Germany , which , no matter how played , usually gets to the semifinals. From the Dutch, I confess, not quite expecting such a result – were on hearing other teams . And Uruguay, I think , and he has not yet figured out how to succeed.
Andrey Tikhonov, midfielder Khimki ” :
- Did not expect in the quartet ’s strongest Uruguay , assuming that there necessarily will get Brazil to Argentina.
