Germany went into their quarterfinal against Portugal and Ronaldo as underdogs. Many thought they were done, especially after their showing against Croatia. They did not look like themselves in that match.
After a very strong showing against Portugal, is there anyone left in Euro to beat them? I think they are very strong and look forward to a Netherlands v Germany final.
So, do you think anyone left can beat them after what you saw today?

Now Croatia is out. Germany has to face Turkey in the semi. Turkey is lack of talent and skill but they are more determined and united. That's why they won over Croatia. But I thinl Germany is strong in mental. So the Turkish do not have any chances to create another miracle.
Only Italy may beat Germany. They're known for their tight defence and counter attack. Do not forget the semi of World Cup 2006. Italy didn't shown it strength is the Group matches and faced a lot of critisms. But they are stronger in a single match to determine who's the winner. They just MAY beat Germany.
Though the Dutch and Spanish are skillful and talented, they are just poor in mind. They can win over weaker teams but they cannot succeed in a tight match. Russia may beat the Dutch but they will never be as strong as Germany, even if luck is on their side.
