Germany, an attacking side, plays stalwart defenders Greece in the first semi. Germany has made some serious defensive errors but have displayed tremendous ability on the attack...I feel they will have too much for Greece, who have not made many chances for themselves in the latter stages of the tournament.

In the second semi...well, Spain cost me against Portugal when they hit the crossbar twice in a 1-1 draw...here they play France. I saw part of France's last game, a 0-0 draw against Russia, the worst team in the final eight, and they were pretty poor. Prior to that in the group stage France beat Serbia 5-2 with five short-handed goals (!) and drew against Germany 1-1 with a short-handed equalizer. Are they a team of destiny? No...Spain, the defending champion, will create more chances, and play good defense besides.

just read my view,happened to watch the germany-france on eurosport,not on purpose of course, i was in a bar and i was looking on screen eventually, i dont have the best opinion for this german side,heavily overestimated imo, and despite i dont know anything about greek team, i am confident that greece will not lose the match today

good luck!

Greece(4-4-2)


Stratilatis


Boukouvalas Papastathopoulos Apostolopoulos Moniakis


Siovas Siakas Dimoutsos Ioannidis


Mitroglou Papazoglou


Ninis won't start because he is tired. Coach preferred a defensive midfield more but, for first time in this tournament, coach Nioplias will start with two center for and he' ll try to take advantage of bad german defense.

hehe,this is the logic mate : germany didnt impress me, greece didnt lose yet playing against very strong sides like spain and portugal....so in my eyes this is fifty fifty clash,eveybody says that defending champions spain is the best team here, greece missed penalty to win them, so whats the reason to favouring this boring german side???

i expect a boring game low score, and draw here 1-1 or 0-0

Greece-Germany. I believe that this game will be more tight that the odds show. i watched German team and i saw a very good team up front but a very bad defence with, maybe, the worst goalkeeper of the tournament. Germany of course is the favourite here but i don't think that it was that simple for them. IMO is a no bet in 1x2 terms but i m gonna place two other bets:

Both teams to score: Yes 1,85@ bwin 6/10
OVER 2,5 1,85@ bwin 4/10

Having seen both of them i think that both teams will have plenty of chances to score, something that coach Nioplias know and that's the reason he uses two offensive players for first time.

Sorry Martens but the last think i'm expecting from this game is to be as boring as you say! Don't get conclusions from Spain-Greece, that was...anothter story.

[IsovitisGR]

ok, it was not boring one! excellent game by greece, i call them as "the new Italy", i mean i am shocked of what i saw, at least i corretly predicted that germany no way to win....read my post please...greece is the new italy in europe,and i have no doupt about this,,,i am sad though coz some guys here lost money while overestimating germany,thats betting life anw, i was correct here, wrong elsewhere,life contuinues....endless betting land!

[allthethings]

I am disappointed because I rejected the overs...oh well.

[bulit]

Well done IsovitisGR
Great calls today. Maybe we were correct when we said that Greece will be champions like in Euro 2004 after beating Portugal. The history is repeating

[Martens]

final : Spain v Greece

isovitis,where are you mate? please post your ideas here

here is mine : spain was top tonight against poor france,lost tons of chances but finally prevailed on penalties

greece was top as well against boring germany, dominating technically the game, beleive me if you ask anybody in german side about technics, the answer gonna be "no idea"


greece is very technic team, reminds me italy for good, spain is very fast team and technic same time,

i like italy on permanent basis, as i say "we are all italians" in terms of football, i extremely like this very technic italian alike greek team, and i am on them

Greece +0.5 is my choice, thats asian, Spain Lay , see you around

[Martens]

some news

greece without central defender, the best player so far for them..thats changes completely my idea, as i said i dont anything about teams, but i watched BOTH semi finals,

Spain as the defendng champion, plays very fast and positive soccer, Greece from the other side, plays very technic and smart soccer ( italian receipe), but their central defender was a crusial factor of their game,now the guy is out as forums informed me...


final is always final, this is my view

greece without their best defender, and a "heart" player as forums claiming..


i am on that very amazing fast attacking team SPAIN

SPAIN half time full time

c ya people!
