Euro 2008 Semi-finals Preview
With only three games left to decide the Champions of Europe.
The first match pits the powerhouse of Germany against Europes cinderella team,Turkey.The other puts sharp shooting Spain against the red hot Russians and their football guru Guus Hiddink.
The Germans defeated Portugal in the last round and managed this primarily by containing probably the best player in the world,Cristiano Ronaldo,and put behind them some poor performances in the group stage.There opponents,Turkey, will be on a high after Croatia and will go into the match with nothing to lose.
The second game between Spain and Russia will be their second match of this years championship.In the first game Spain won resoundly 4-1 but things could be different this time as Russian midfielder Andrei Arshavin will be in the starting line-up.Andrei Arshavin is the heart of the team who pushes them forward with some amazing play making.If Arshavin is at his best,then they can certainly get the result here.
Despite what some would say is an easy route to the final,the Germans should not discount Turkey who have proved how adept they are at great escapes.
The match between Spain and Russia will certainly be entertaining with both teams playing quick and open football the full length of the pitch.You can be assured that both the goalkeepers and defence will be kept very busy.
