Euro 2012: Simulating Semifinals and Finals with FIFA 12's Expansion Pack

To answer the question in the featured picture, no—at least not in real life. The German attack is too balanced, and I can't see anyone beating them.

They have unmatched depth, exceptional chemistry and tremendous confidence.

But what does FIFA 12 say about the last four teams remaining in Euro 2012? This simulation was conducted by Franchiseplay, the place where sports and video game marry—at least that's how I like to refer to it.

The simulation was done with FIFA 12's Euro 2012 expansion pack.

The video simulates both semifinal matches: Portugal vs. Spain, which takes place Wednesday at 2:45 ET on ESPN, and streams live on ESPN 3; and Germany vs. Italy, which takes place Thursday at 2:45 ET, and can also be seen on ESPN and ESPN 3.

If EA Sports' outstanding football game is right, the soccer world is in for a thrilling finish to this tournament. Will Ronaldo guide his team to a victory against Spain?

I believe the Navigators must have a spirited effort from their star to knock off the Spaniards. This is his stage, and his time to shine alone. There is no Lionel Messi present to cast a shadow.

Can he rise to the occasion?

Can Italy upend unblemished Germany? The Azzurri's defense has been stellar throughout Euro 2012, but they have not faced a team as good as Germany.

Can they continue their stingy play?

Watch the video to find out.
