Morning all,

Eurocast to follow. What a good game that was last night, eh? The Turks, with barely 11 fit players, gave Germany a real fright and I don't think they deserved that last minute loser. It is a loser when you're describing it from the Turkish point of view, right?

Perhaps the Croatian and Czech fans won't necessarily agree with me there. Germany though - they looked poor and you'd certainly fancy both Spain or Russia to beat them if they play like that in the final. Although it wouldn't be any surprise if they played brilliantly in that game. Germans love surprises.

Tonight sees Spain v Russia, two of the tournament's most attacking and exciting sides. Hopefully they won't cancel each other out and we'll get the great game we're all hoping for.

Remember, we want your thoughts and emails on the games, so feel free to chip in with whatever you like.

Morning all,

hope you enjoyed the weekend's football. There wasn't much to enjoy about last night's game between Spain and Italy apart from the fact the negative Italians got knocked out. A feast of football it was not.

Russia were excellent against Holland and I'm looking forward to the game against Spain. And despite all their injuries and suspensions you just can't write off Turkey. That's two remarkable comebacks now although I fear they're probably a bit too stretched to trouble the Germans.

So, semi-final predictions from me:

Germany 3-1 Turkey

Spain 2-1 Russia

Yours in the comments as per usual.

Now, in today's Eurocast Tom and I discuss all the weekend's action, make some suggestions about how to stop players kicking the ball out when someone is "injured" and we talk to Luigi about Spain's win over his home country and our Dutch correspondent Ashwin.

Please remember we do want to hear what you think about Euro 2008. It's easy.

Morning all,

predictions. A difficult business, I'm sure you'll agree. Bakes predicted 3-2 for Germany but after extra time. Should we give him the kudos? Let the people decide. 

I'm really looking forward to tonight's game between Croatia and Turkey - not the most high profile of teams but it's often those that provide the most entertainment. My guess is:

Croatia 4-2 Turkey

A veritable goalfest. Come on! Your predictions in the comments please.

Right, in today's Eurocast we have some of your emails about the German win over Portugal, exclusive dressing room access so we can hear Cristiano Ronaldo's post-game reaction, we talk to Tom our German correspondent and there's a quick preview of tonight's game.

Remember, we are looking for your thoughts on the games, so please email or leave voicemail for the Eurocast. It's easy and it makes you more attractive to the opposite sex. Not doing so makes you poor and smelly. So you know what to do.

Morning all,

welcome to the Eurocast, the Euro2008 podcast, and the Euro 2008 predictions game.

Catching up on the weekend's predictions I got my first one right! Hurrah. A 2-1 win for Spain over Sweden did that. Joining me in correctness on that one were robotninja51 and Algunner. ElTorro got Russia's 1-0 win over Greece correct.

For today I'm going with:

Austria 1-3 Germany

Poland 1-2 Croatia

Your predictions in the comments please. In the Eurocast we catch up with all the weekend's football including Turkey's astonishing comeback against the Czech Republic and Spain's victory over Sweden. 

Remember, we do want to hear what you think, either by email or voicemail so don't be shy, get involved.

Happy Thursday to you all and welcome to another Eurocast and another round of predictions. 

As usual we'll start with predictions and only ElTorro got one yesterday, correctly predicting the Turkish win over Switzerland. For today's game my completely incorrect guesses are:

Croatia 1-2 Germany

Austria 1-3 Poland

As usual leave your predictions in the comments.

Now, in today's Eurocast Tom and I discuss Portugal v Czech Republic and Switzerland's exit at the hands of the Turkey. There are some of your emails and voicemails too as well as a preview of today's games.
