Euro 2008 - Greece v Spain
Wednesday, 18 June 2008
Adrian Chiles presents highlights and reaction from Group D as the round-robin format of Euro 2008 draws to a close. Greece are in action against Spain, whilst outsiders Russia face Sweden.
Greece and Spain have both tasted success in this competition before and were many people's tips to progress from Group D at the start of the tournament.
Whereas much of the Greek side that lifted the trophy four years ago are still involved with their current squad, none of Spain's squad were even born the last time their country were crowned European Champions, in 1964. Spain have only ever lost once in nine previous meetings with Greece – that defeat coming in a qualifying match in the build-up to Euro 2004.
Sweden reached the quarter-finals of the European Championship four years ago, winning their group ahead of Denmark and Italy. A repeat performance this time round may depend on victory over Guus Hiddink's Russia.
The Swedes may have lost on seven previous occasions to the Soviet Union, but they have never been beaten by a team made up entirely of Russians – this statistic dates back 95 years to 1913.
This programme is on BBC ONE Wednesday 18th June 2008 @ 10.45-11.40pm.
