Germany v Greece

[Lff]

Amusing, if a bit dated.

Meanwhile, I don't understand why Germany are playing tonight whilst France and Spain are playing tomorrow. That means when it comes to the Semi Finals one team in each will have 2 more days rest that the other which is significant. If the games had been reversed it would only have been one extra day which is less significant.

Am i right on this? It just seems so obvious but I've not heard anyone else mention it.

No, I noticed this, and have been asking the same thing (though not on this board). Reward for finishing top of the group of death (highest total seeded value?). Luck of the draw?

COME ON GREECE! It would be so brilliant if they beat Germany.

 

[Qwerty]

The bailout jokes are so obvious that I'm not even going to go there. So I'll just say that Germany will beat Greece 5-0.

 

[lamby]

Will be stunned if the Germans don't win.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Portugal did their best to try and lose yesterday even though they totally dominated...can't see Germany doing that. Suspect 2-3 German goals in first half.

I smashed a plate at lunchtime, I think this could be a sign.

 

[West Kent Saint]

Damn, thought it was Spain tonight for some reason. Oh well. Germany by a long margin I'd imagine.

 

[tomw24]

As an England fan, I want Greece to win, for obvious reasons. As a football fan, I want Germany to win because I love watching them play and Germany against England/Italy would be an excellent semi final.

 

[Le God]

COME ON GREECE! It would be so brilliant if they beat Germany.

Would be brilliant if anyone beat Germany

 

[PompeyLapras]

Would be brilliant if anyone beat Germany

Very much so, but Greece winning would be even more brilliant. How do you like that austerity, Angela?

 

[SAINTDON13]

I've got Germany in works sweep, that'll sink 'em for sure!

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

3-0 germany

 

[Beef]

Samaras to score a hat trick

 

[pass the football]

Greece will make England's tactics against France look gung-ho. Don't expect them to be easy to break down.

 

[Joe!]

Gomez not starting. Muller not starting. Podolski not starting.

Will this be the day that the world takes notice of Mario Gotze?

Where did you hear that?

 

[Joe!]

Where did you hear that?

Live text commentary on BBC website. I have no idea if Gotze will start, but I hope he does.

 

[Dan]

They've been saying Klose starting over Gomez all day.

3-0 germany

yep. that's what I've gone.
