I'd like it to be Netherlands for entertainment purposes, but a sense of history and resignation tells me that it will be Italy vs Germany.

Did anyone see that Turkey match - unbelievable what happened in the last 2 mins of extra time (and into some injury time). I watched the last 2 Turkey matches and have to take my hat off to them, they keep fighting until the bitter end. Unbelievable finish, heart breaking for the Croats, but what a match! Even their last win against the czech's (I believe), scoring and winning in the last 10 mins of the game!!!

Unfortunately I don't think they have anything left (they've lost 3 of their best players because of yellow cards), so I think Germany has a great chance of beating them.

Crazy Euro cup AGAIN!

Yep. It has been very enjoyable from a (fairly) nuetral point of view.

Spain to beat Italy and Russia, and lose to Germany in the final, - is my hope and prediction.

The russians are playing an awesome tournament, they'll be hard to beat for anyone, and they're under no pressure whatsoever, unlike the other teams.

I hope germany beats turkey, spain beats italy, and then either spain or russia beat germany in the final.

portugal-germany was a horrible game, there were five scoring opportunities, and they scored every single time, the rest of the game wasn't exciting...and germany's 3:1 was preceded by a foul by ballack...

if I had a choice, I'd have sent both the germans and the turks home, and kept the dutch and the russians....


greetings from basel...the dutch fans rocked tonight!

Germany Portugal was great, specially the 15th minute, when I scored Novation SL 37 (mint) for 270 Euro ! I knew it is good idea to take Ebay advantage of EM but didnt expect to work that well.
Regarding that match- you play as good as the opponent let you, Germans won with better strategy, surprised Scolari and his brilliant players didn't get much chance to shine.
As long as I can remember "Holland ïs the best team" and in the end never wins anything.

At least you didn't go out on the lottery that is penalties or some rubbish 1-0.

The Russians played really well I thought.

Russia was nuts...

Turkey vs Croatia was the worst game in the whole cup, it was so boring, dude... But i watched it in the turkish quarter in my town. 20 seconds after the game they were all in the car, driving around the block and honk.
There were like 20+ injured in the turkish parties worldwide. What would happen if they won the championships?

Portugal pooed their panties after 20 mins.
Germany, well, the balls round, the game has ninety minutes and germany wins in the end.

Righto, so Germany, Turkey, Russia & Spain in the semi-finals.

New predictions, folks?

I reckon:

Germany 3 - Turkey 1
Russia 2 - Spain 0

Final: Russia 1 - Germany 0 in a 89th minute shocker :D

I can't believe how well those Russian kids are playing!!! watching them basically play hackey sack (err footbag, whatever you might call it) in front of the Swedish goal the other day was amusing.

ugh, I was so looking forward to this tourney but I've literally done nothing but work the last two weeks. I'd watch recordings when I get home at night but half the time the end of the game would get cut off or I'd fall asleep. pwnt.

outstanding play tough, and MUCH better referees than the last World Cup.

funny, I listed the teams in the poll according to the odds on some betting site.
