I won't imagine the shitstorm that breaks lose, if we lose. It's really sad how populism has poisonend Europe especially the relationship between Greece and Germany.  May the better team win, which should be ze Germans by all accounts.
Go Germany! Let's hope for a fair game without any shitty referee decisions, we had enough of this in the tournament. |

Exactly my thoughts. I hope everybody remembers that it's just a football match and that political tenisons are not becoming an issue here. |

You are the first one I come across that actually connects the european championship and the political crysis we're in. How could it even possibly become a factor for tensions? Nations play against each other all the time, no one (should) cares which nation wins. |

You not reading the press? Every paper in England is saying it could boil over because of the tensions between Greece and Germany, after what is happening with Greek financial situation. |

I wrote 'I hope' that there won't be tensions afterwards.

I was thinking of violent behaviour towards football fans of the opposing nationality, not actually political tensions. I didn't point that out, you're right.
Anyways I did not want to start this off-topic debate, I was just wishing for a good match with no hooligan fans.Last edit: 2012-06-22 19:22:08 |

Yup, Greece is gonna turtle again i think. The faster Germany scores a goal, the higher the score will get. If they don't manage to score in the first half, it's gonna be a tough one to crack for Germany imo. |

Yeah, there's a lot of that in the German press as well.
It says the Greeks say stuff "Our chance to finally pay back Angela Merkel & ze Germans, because of EU crisis" etc.
And that Merkel shouldnt celebrate a German victory (she is known for watching a lot of football), because of political consequences.
Only thing more annoying by the media (/politicians) is that the match will be played in Danzig). And every other connection to WW2 and Germany in Poland that needs to be mentioned ....
Somehow you cannot enjoy football this day for the sake of football.
Well more on topic:
Germany is the clear favourite. Especially with Karagounis (unjustly) banned the Greek offense will have a hard time. But on the other hand - the Greeks are not known for a great offense but a compact & physical defense, so they're fine. Free kicks / corners etc. will be their only chances with some counters mixed in.
But that might be enough if they can neutralize the German midfield trio (Khedira, Özil, Schweinsteiger). Especially since those have shown to have some problems if they dont get a lot of space (Denmark). They like to play against other offensive teams more, so they can rely on their own good defense while having enough room to make vertical passes.
Greece will not do them that favour 
It's a fucking quarter final - anything can happen (except when it's penalties - then Ger default win). |
