Season's Over's Euro 2012 predictions went 50/50 it's first time out. Version 2.0 looks at the Final 8 as they head into the knockout stages later tonight. Who will come out on top? Let's take a look:
Quarterfinals
Germany vs. Greece
Germany continue their dominant form and do what is necessary to advance. The Greeks in a valiant effort drop out of the tournament thanks to a late goal from the Germans. Germany 1-0
Portugal vs. Czech Republic
With Ronaldo heating up after scoring 2 goals against the Netherlands the Portugese are looking very dangerous. They can score with the best of them but they will need to be organized defensively to advance. Portugal 2-0
Spain vs. France
The weakness of the French is in the air and thankfully for them the Spanish are one of the smallest teams and don’t have a target man like Zlatan Ibrahimovic. If they did it would be hard to pick Les Bleus to come out on top. France 2-1
England vs. Italy
Both teams will play timidly and worry about not allowing a goal rather than going out and scoring one. Thankfully for the Italians they have the creative edge against the English and I see them coming out on top. Italy 1-0
Semifinals
Portugal vs. Germany
The Portuguese will enter this game in a great vein of form but it won’t be enough to top the Germans. I think this is Germany’s year. Germany 3-2
France vs. Italy
In the rematch of the ’06 World Cup final the French exact their revenge against the Italians. Mario Balotelli will be extremely frustrated and get a red card. France 1-0
Final
France vs. Germany
The French will not match up well against the German side. Unfortunately for Les Bleus and the French the Germans will come out on top with two goals from set pieces and a third to seal the deal. Germany 3-1
