Euro 2008 Betting Advice For Germany- Spain
29-Jun-2008

After a tournament that lasted most of the month and has been hailed, quite rightly, as the greatest Euro tournament in the history of the competition we finally come down to the wire with two great teams looking to make history. On one hand, you've got the cool efficiency of the Germans, who were somewhat exposed during the groups stages, but we've found that as the tournament has gone further and further the Germans have upped their game when necessary.

Euro 2008: Germany-Turkey Semi Final
24-Jun-2008

The Germans were the out-and-out favourite to blast through the tournament and cruise to a Euro 2008 title. It hasn't exactly been as painless as expected (2-1 loss to Croatia anyone?) but the Germans are in the semi-finals and look good value to have a go at things. Things definitely haven't gone according to plan for Germany, but players have stepped up when necessary and that's the type of thing you need to win tournaments. Schweinsteiger and Lukas Podolski, in particular, have been in exceptional form (Bastian's red card aside).
