on the other hand czech republic despite losing so badly still seemed like they played better than greece or poland. it will be interesting to see what happens in the battle for 2nd place. as i said before the goal difference will probably be crucial and the greeks might have an advantage here because in the last game they'll an already qualified russian team that will most likely field many reserves.
Russia did very well, but judging by the play of Czech, Greece and Poland, I'd Say Czech makes a good second. I think Czech is a pretty good middle-class team, but Russia is still much better. Russia may actually make it all the way to the semi-finals. Greece might as well just go home, especially if they keep playing like this. I'm amazed Poland didn't manage to seal the win though. That's why i think Czech will actually win from Poland, but barely. Czech will have no problem with Greece however. And obviously Russia will just totally walk over Greece.
