Spain looked like Spain: great, Germany like a finely-tuned machine, Portugal was good, and Italy was taken to penalties by an England team that looked lost on the field (sadly). The semi-finals are set: The Euro 2012 Final 4: Germany vs Italy, Spain vs Portugal.
Semi-Final Matches
Portugal vs Spain- Portugal has been playing well, and their defense has been a key to that. Spain though, has been looking like the Kings of Europe as well as the Kings of The World. Every bit of Spain's game has been looking great. Winner-Spain
Germany vs Italy- Italy was playing well, then floundered against England and was able to limp away with a shootout win. With the amount of chances, the way they played on offense and defense, Italy probably should've won 2-0, if not more. Meanwhile, Germany surrendered a penalty kick goal against an upset-minded Greece team, only after the 70th minute and the game well in hand. Italy can challenge Germany for a spot in the final, but not if they play like they did today. Winner-Germany
With the final four teams left, here's to hoping for two games of exciting soccer. It shouldn't be a surprise that I'm choosing Spain to go all the way and retain their title of Kings of Europe, they are playing great and won their previous game without Fernando Torres. Portugal has one of the best players in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo, but he'll need all of team Portugal to get past Spain.
