June 20, 2008


Euro 2008 has already been chalked full of shockers.

Memorable and forgettable performances depending on where you allegiances lye, and stars who normally play a subtle roll in club play emerging to fulfill the greatest duty their country has to offer.

No more ties and only eight teams remain.

With the game between Germany and Portugal in the books, I think its safe to say that Germany is back after they dismantled Portugal within the first 45 minutes of the contest at St Jakob Park.

Germany seems to be clicking on all cylinders with goals from three of their top goal scorers.

Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't seem to get past the German defenders for any real threat to score.

Germany will play the winner of the Croatia vs. Turkey game, which takes place this Friday afternoon.

Croatia vs. Turkey

Should be a pretty good match.

Who would have thought?

Turkey kept their Euro dreams alive by staging one of the most miraculous come backs in sports history by scoring three goals in the final fifteen minutes of their match with the Czech Republic to win 3-2.

Croatia on the other hand bullied their way into the quarterfinals by costing through Group B undefeated.

Unless, Turkey has another three-goal miracle in them, Croatia should take this one in a low scoring game.
