The Mighty Germans through to the Semis!

Germany kept their pre-torunament favourites tag alive with a facinating 3-2 victory over Portugal and booking their place in the semis.

Germany took a 2-0 lead from schweinsteiger and klose & were dominating the game till about 30 mins and looked very impressive. But their shaky back 4 gave in again and it was 2-1 through nuno gomes just before half time, leaving the 2nd half to be an entertaining one. Lahm and schweinsteiger particularly were looking impressive, as were the 2 keys to the germans - Ballack and Podolski.

And what a 2nd half and match it would turn out to be when ballack made it 3-1 and the portugese we from no angel about to call it quits. But it was little to late when postiga came on as a Sub and made it 3-2 in the last few mintues, but Germany held their nerve and won a great match against a great oppostion!

Some great football for display at the Euro '08 last night and we hope tonight's match as well - Croatia Vs Turkey! May the best team win!
