We have the first semi-final tonight and it's an odd one in that Germany are such a clear favourite to go through, especially in 90 mins. If Harry Redknapp was the Turks manager the phrase 'bare bones' would have been bandied about all week as they are stretched to the limit. I don't think Germany are all that and I don't think Germany will win the tournament. However, I have no idea what will happen tonight as the Turks were pretty negative against Croatia only coming out to play in extra time. The Croats are better than Germany though so maybe the Turks will gain more of an edge and at least the players have little fear of being substitued.

Of all the bets the one I like is Turkey on the AH (-1) @ 2.15 makes the most appeal but betting it seems just to be for the sake of it. Tomorrows game is tough and I have an interest in both the teams but will see if I can pull something out.
