Euro 2008 Prediction Competition -- Knockout Phase

[OneFootInTheGrave]

I only put Spain to win, so that they actually lose

[Hueij]

Germany 3-0 Turkey
Spain 2-2 Russia

[snoopy369]

I largely put my selections in at random, except to favor Germany In my case, Spain got the nod due to their order on the screen.

[Wernazuma III]

Germany-Turkey 2-0
Spain-Russia 1-1

[Solver]

Germany - Turkey 1-2

[LordShiva]

I hope Solver's prediction comes true, and mine doesn't. Turkey

[Solver]

I will be cheering for Turkey anyway, so no point in predicting a German win

[LordShiva]

Spain 1 - 1 Russia

[Solver]

Locutus, post the table after Italy - Spain

[LordShiva]

No, don't

[Solver]

Poor Turks don't have too many chances Tuncay, Emre Belozoglu and Arda are all out along with Nihat and a buch of less important players, but those four gotta hurt.

Their coach says in the second half he could sustitute one of their defenders or striker with thier third goalie, because he simply have no other option.

My mind tells me Turks have no chance, but my heart tells that this Euro is the most crazy Euro I've ever seen in my life.

But I need Germany in the final, so nobody could tell that the chamion defeated an absolutely exhausted team, thus he is not a true champ.

So...

Come on Germany, we need you in finals!

Germany vs Russia 10:0

Where did you read that?

Oh, if Turks go into the final, they'll be in a better position than now. They will have 3 more players because suspensions will be over and they will have 1 or 2 more players returning from injuries. Nihat would still be out of the final but he could have most of his players.

And we don't need Germany in the finals... once they're in the final, they become too difficult to beat, even if you play really well.

Well, Germany should beat Turkey today and make their lives miserable with all the Turks going "UNGGGGHhhhh!" and poisoning their kebabs for like a year. I think regardless, it'll be an interesting game.

No further predictions, but Russia might be a dark horse this time around, they've been playing pretty well so far.
