Portugal and Germany through to the Euro 2012 Semis



Portugal 1-0 Czech Republic

Admittedly, Portugal were the favorites to advance. However at the beginning of the tournament, hey started out with a loss against Germany and star cpatain Cristiano Ronaldo seemed unable to find the back of the net. In the last game of the groups against the dutch in a do or die match, Ronaldo finally came through and found the net twice to advance. This time it was his single header that puts their team up against either France or Spain in the semi-finals

Germany 4-2 Greece

Meanwhile, Germany, who have been strong with almost exactly the same team that they fielded in the last World Cup topped their group by sweeping all their matches. The quarter final match against Greece was their 15th consecutive victory which is a new world record. The young German squad know they are more than capable of making it through to the end and raising that trophy. In the World Cup, it was Spain that stopped them. Let's see if anyone can do it this time around.
