so as the tournament enters the knockout stage tomorrow...
... it's time for a new thread!
june 19th, basel:
portugal - germany
june 20th, vienna:
croatia - turkey
june 21, basel:
the netherlands - russia
june 22, vienna
spain - italy
my tips:
portugal - germany:
portugal clear favourite. germany would have to boost performance by a huge margin to have a chance. with podolski missing, i dont see them winning by more than a 20 percent chance.
croatia - turkey:
one underdog will make it to the semis. (which was almost guaranteed by the initial draw anyway)
croatia is the better, yet older team. they will significantly lack stamina in the last 30 minutes as we saw in the first two group matches. that's the time when turkey has won it's two games in the group stage.
i see advantages for turkey, maybe 65 percent.
netherlands - russia
edit: netherlands will mop the floor with russia. 80 - 20 for holland.
spain - italy.
can spain finally perform in the knockout stage?
they surely have the means to do so. tight game nontheless, with the italians having finally found their rythm against france.
50 - 50.
