Group D
Sweden
Sweden qualified in second place in Group F behind Spain, completing the job on the last night of qualifying when they beat Latvia 2-1 and Northern Ireland lost in Spain.

Spain had ended 2006 in something of a crisis, a shock 3-2 defeat against Northern Ireland in Belfast being followed by a 2-0 loss in Sweden to leave them with just three points from their first three Group F games. In 2007 they put together a run of eight wins in nine.

Russia
Russia qualified for Euro 2008 in dramatic fashion and at England's expense.Russia played back-to-back games against England in autumn 2007, losing 3-0 at Wembley but then staging a dramatic recovery in Moscow, where substitute Roman Pavlyuchenko scored twice in five second-half minutes, the first a penalty to cancel out Wayne Rooney's opener. That result left Russia second in the section, needing six points from their final games in Israel and Andorra to be sure of qualifying. Their coach Gus Hiddink said it was "simply impossible" to lose in Israel, against opponents already out of the running. But lose they did, their 2-1 defeat putting England back in pole position to qualify. However, the drama continued on the final day, with England unexpectedly losing 3-2 at home against group winners Croatia, allowing a ten-man Russia to seal their progress with a 1-0 win in Andorra, earned by Dmitri Sychev's goal.
Previous Form
Russia's best performance since competing as an independent state came at UEFA EURO 2004 although their best qualification round came in the run up to EURO 96. From ten matches, Russia collected 26 points to claim first position from a group featuring Finland, Greece, Scotland, the Faroe Islands and San Marino. Euro'96 was less memorable for Russia with one point from three games.
