Not a Germany as we've seen it yesterday. And I'm quite unsure who could stop them now, they are REALLY strong! Portugal may stop them, but in this case, we are thrown out - and so I'm against that option as well [;)]
So I hope for the all time classic finale: Germany vs. Holland
Unless Germany improve a lot this isn't likely, you won't get past Portugal I'm afraid. And if by some chance they do meet Holland in the final, on current form Germany are likely to get ripped apart. Your defence is far too slow to cope with the majority of the Dutch line-up.
Portugal vs
Spain is most likely in the final. Holland 3rd, Croatia 4th. I'd prefer to see Ze Germans beat Portugal though, mostly so that Man Yoo Dancing nancy boy Ronaldo is finally off of my TV for a short time [:D]

You mustn't weight that game from yesterday too much. If you've seen the games in the last two years, you know that Germany can do better. Against Croatia, they looked like they've taken tranquilizer and hoepfully, that's the last time for Euro 2008.
You are absolutly right about our defence. Even if it's playing good, it isn't something special and if it plays bad... [:-]
With Gomez, Klose and Podolski, we have enough power to score against Holland as well, and the Dutch defence didn't look too strong today as well - but as I said: Usually, you're right. But still, it's football which means you can calculate nothing - and don't foregt, who's the master of penalty and who's the nation that "if it plays good, it get's world champion, if it plays bad, it'll be in the finale"... [;)]
Nothing's lost, yet so I'm still hoping [;)]. Usually, Austria doesn't have a chance against us especially as we need to play good and our players want to shwo what they can do.
So we'll meet Portugal at the quaters which doesn't change a thing as we would have met it in the half finale otherwise. To get into the finale, we must beat Portugal - in which finale is unimportant...
well, we'll see...
