Morning all,
hope you enjoyed the weekend's football. There wasn't much to enjoy about last night's game between Spain and Italy apart from the fact the negative Italians got knocked out. A feast of football it was not.
Russia were excellent against Holland and I'm looking forward to the game against Spain. And despite all their injuries and suspensions you just can't write off Turkey. That's two remarkable comebacks now although I fear they're probably a bit too stretched to trouble the Germans.
So, semi-final predictions from me:
Germany 3-1 Turkey
Spain 2-1 Russia
Yours in the comments as per usual.
Now, in today's Eurocast Tom and I discuss all the weekend's action, make some suggestions about how to stop players kicking the ball out when someone is "injured" and we talk to Luigi about Spain's win over his home country and our Dutch correspondent Ashwin.

That's that. More soon!
Germany 1-0 Turkey
Spain 4-2 Russia
4-2 because the most goals we've had so far was 5 in the 4-1 between NL and FR, but now that the two most attacking sides are facing eachother, why not six ;) (Shitty logic, wishful thinking).
Hmmm podcast not updating in iTunes, no idea why.
My betting book really wants Russia to win!
Turkey 2-1 Germany The turks are too inspired right now.
Spain 3- 2 russia in what might be the best game of the tourney
Germany - Turkey 2-0
The Turks sadly don't have a decent team to put together.
Russia - Spain 2-1
Difficult one to predict because the Russians are so unpredictable.
Russia going to beat spain, and then beat the germans to lift the cup. As the underdog throughout it all, make your money when the odds are good :P
I've managed to scrape up the audacity to think that Russia may actually go 2-1 against Spain. Who knows?
Spain should wipe out Russia big time, Germany Should Wipe out Turkey.
And the Spanish Press should all go fuck themselves.
Germany 3 - 0 Turkey
Turkey missing too many key players
Spain 2 - 1 Russia
Now that the monkey that is Italy is off their back Spain feel they can win this thing
GER 0:0 TUR (Germany wins in penalty shootaouts)
ESP 1:2 RUS (I do think that Russians are the main favorites of winning the Cup)
Germany 2-1 Turkey
Spain 3-2 Russia
Lets hope it goes this way anyway as I have no subs left for my dreamteam, lol. If Spain and Germany go out, I am in trouble!! :(
Back from my Colorado mountain holiday! My well rested picks:
Germany 1-0 Turkey
Spain 1-1 Russia
(SPAIN on penalties!)
Well I got the total number of goals right for that first game.... :-D

A bit early to make predictions, I'll wait for possible injury news.
Not that I'll get more chance of getting it right, mind!
Germany 2-0 Turkey
Spain 3-2 Russia
