We'll start with congrats to 4ndyL who got both games right in yesterday's predictions. Erm, actually no he didn't. So I withdraw those congratulations and give him half back for getting the Spain result right along with wandarah.
As usual I got none right so for anyone just starting this prediction thing my advice would be to look at what I do and do differently.
It's the first quarter final today though, so that means only one prediction so I have 50% less chance of being wrong. Or something. I reckon Germany are going to do it, actually.
Germany 2-1 Portugal
Lehmann to save a Ronaldo penalty too. Let us know what you think in the comments. I do like the knock-out stages though, it does make for more exciting football.
Now for the Eurocast. We've got an unhappy Swedish correpondent after his country's exit to the impressive Russia last night, Luigi talks about Spain's win over Greece and how the Spanish press are already starting to build up the game against Italy and a look ahead to tonight's game with Tom Thom(p)son.

Right then, get your predictions in. More tomorrow.
it will be 1-1 go to pens, ronaldo will have his saved but portugal will win anyway as lehmann takes 5 seconds to dive cos hes an OLD MAN
The Portugese have great food, but the Germans do better beer.
Por 2-3 Ger (et)
Thanks for trying to give me credit for both games results lol. One will do :)
I will have to say Germany 0-1 Portugal.. Just dont think Germany are playin well enough.
Incidentally, yesterday I had the correct winners and correct scores, but in the wrong matches. A shame as I had $5 @ 70/1 for a multibet.
Did you manage to edit your post Bakes?
I'm convinced I saw 1-2 not 2-3 when I looked earlier.
But then I told someone earlier that Holland v The Netherlands should be a cracking game...
+ heh at right scores, wrong matches.

heh
Indeed you did, wandarah. After the game ;-)
And well I mixed up my Russia with Holland, or The Netherlands. Sounds marginally more credible in French. Possibly.
I knew someone had to check the timestamp.
I would've got away with it to, if it wasnt for those meddling kids.
Well I did see your stuff come up after the game at the time. It's too long ago now for me to bother counting the hours :-D
However, the 'ahem' gave a clue.
What's your prediction for tonight though, right now?
Ollie, you're right I did put 2-1 to Germany initially, but changed it 2 minutes later after I got good odds on Germany 3-2.
Did your odds specify extra-time Bakes?
Decent guess anyway.
And heh wandarah ! You're unbeatable.
Unfortunately I did bet on extra time, Ollie. I just can't win.

Once more: both results?
One way or the other, I must be blind. Or he posted predictions elsewhere, because I'm still waiting to see that Swedish goal....
And I could have gone for 2-1 but will have to change tack then.
2-2. Germany on Penalties. Lehmann saves from Ronaldo. Then punches him.
