In the other scheduled match, Russia face Greece in Faro-Loule's Estadio Algarve. The Russians had the job of beating Wales in a play-off before reaching the finals, while the Greek's topped their qualifying group ahead of Spain. Dmitri Sychev - regarded as Russia's answer to Michael Owen - will be the man the Greeks need to watch.

June 21, 2004
