MOSCOW, June 18 (RIA Novosti) - Russia take the field in their final Group D match on Wednesday evening knowing that anything less than victory against a strong Swedish side will see them fail, yet again, to reach the play-offs of a major European tournament.

The team, led by experienced Dutch coach Guus Hiddink, qualified for Euro 2008 after a rollercoaster qualifying campaign that saw a memorable home victory against England. Hiddink's men arrived at their Austrian base of Leogang a week before the competition kicked off on the back of three consecutive friendly victories, their preparations spoiled only by an injury to star striker Pavel Pogrebnyak.

Pogrebnyak's injury eventually forced him to quit the side's training camp, and Russia, already weakened by playmaker Andrey Arshavin's two-match suspension, were outclassed by Spain in their opening match, going down 4-1. However, despite the defeat and a performance that Hiddink called "defensively naive," Russia at least tried to play an attacking, open game, a marked difference from their ultra-cautious tactics at previous World Cups and European Championships.

Sorry. You have your favorite sports. And I have mine. I can't get into your rugby or you futball. But go team! I hope your team beats 'em hands down!
