What we have in the first semi final? Turkey, team that saved them selves in last seconds in every of their last three matches, team with great fighting spirit and team that has nothing to lose as they achieved their biggest success on European Championships and Germany team with great discipline and great individuals, team that runs very very much and is physically one of the best prepared teams.
I see Germany as huge favorite mainly because they are attacking team and that attacking mentality will get them to the final. Every team that played against Turkey lost because their orientation in defense. Switzerland went to defense and conceded a very late goal to lose 1:2. Czech rep. trashed Turkey in the first half and when they took 2:0 lead went all in defense and lost 2:3 with two late goals. Then Croatia, when they were attacking they were creating chances but they did not had courage to finish to opponent with stronger attacks. I rate Turkey defense on pretty low level and with great German attacking line Podolski – Kolse – Ballack – Schweinsteiger, and great danger at set-pieces with Mertesaker and Metzelder in the attack…Germany will win against the Turkey without a doubt in my opinion…of course if they play like they are playing so far, with no “all in defense” tactics.
In addition to my bet, Turkey has 4 suspended first choice players and 5 injured among them Nihat, their captain and very important player in the attack line
