Better late than never. Here are my picks for the next round

Germany vs. Portugal: Does not count. Game already played. I would have picked Portugal which would have been wrong.
Italy vs. Spain: Italy has not played that well. Before the tournament, I would have picked Italy but now, it is Spain.
Croatia vs. Turkey: Despite Croatia hurt, they are playing well and winning. Good middle field. I will pick Croatia to continue.
Netherlands vs. Russia: Russia will be very tough but Netherlands will be tougher. This will be a squeaker but Netherlands will win by one goal.

Semi Finals
Spain vs. Netherlands: Barn burner. Great hard fought game which will result in a Netherlands victory.
Croatia vs. Germany: Rematch. Germany had some challenges with Croatia's mid field. Gave Croatia too much room. Will learn from their lesson. I will pick Germany to seek revenge.

Finals
Netherlands vs. Germany: Not picking these two teams because I am German and Dutch. I now believe this will be the final. I thought it would be the Netherlands vs. Portugal but we know the result. A very exciting final will take place. I pick the Netherlands to be the winner of Euro2008.

It is so nice to have Euro2008 coverage. I have not been able to see the coverage since my vacation in Aruba in 2000. It was a exciting trip. If I was not enjoying the water sports, site seeing, I was watching the Euro2000. A great experience back then and today. It has a World Cup Feeling.
