The much talked about, the much anticipated semi final...the very very luck team that is Germany..i mean Turkey vs a soccer superpower Germany. If you missed the last 2 Turkey games, you should go watch the last 20 minutes of each..amazing they are about the best comebacks I've ever seen. The Turks have pulled off 2 miracles and going for 3. Everyone seems to rule out Turkey with Germany taking the cup. So my prediction is...2-1 Turkey on penalties  |

No way, Turkey is missing Arda Thuram and Nihat, which are their top scorers their top goalkeeper. And two of their top midfielders might not play cause of injury

Their reserve keeper played a pretty good game, I would rather play a keeper that can play and keep his cool than one daft enough to push over an opposition player right in front of the ref... that could put your team in a whole load of trouble....
That said, I think logic says that Germany will overwhelm them, we can hope....but I fancy Russia V Germany for the final.

this game was all it was advertised as and more.. But if it wasn't for the weather knocking out transmission, we would have seen the last 2 goals. What a shame. Congrats to the Germans and Turkey. Turkey really deserves to be in the final, they put on a show for the whole world.

Good game, pity Turkey didn't make more of their tremendous start - I felt they peaked to early in this match - and the Germans are as good a nation at any at last minute comebacks....
The Turkish defence looked vunerable, but their attack certainly gave Germany a problem.
Oh well Germany v Spain, it's anybody's guess?

i thought their left back was a real problem. Who ever that was he sucked. He gave podolski all the room he could ask for which led to the first german goal. Lahm's last goal came from that side too.
