The semifinal game between Turkey and Germany should be a cracker of a game even with the fact that the Turkish side is somewhat crippled by injuries and players out on yellow cards and suspensions. The long association between Turkey and Germany with turkish workers in Germany for decades doing the more menial type of jobs and not getting easy access to citizenship will make this an emotional game for sure. However I expect a total domination by Germany in this game. With the Netherlands out, the Germans are the ones to beat for the tournament.

In the other semi final between Spain and Russia, it is difficult to say who will prevail.  I would give the edge to Spain based on their group play rather than their quarterfinal effort.

Just hope, the game today is rebroadcasted later this evening.
