It’s time for the first semi final in Euro 2008 and all I can say is that I really, really hope that Germany wins. I don’t hope that Germany wins becuase I like them especially much, after all they knocked us out 2 years ago, but then again I don’t dislike them at all. I like the way they play, some of my favorite players in Europe play for Germany and, of crouse, Holger is german. No, the main reason I want Germany to win becuase I couldn’t stand seeing Turkey win.
Sure, it’s fun that an underdog can make it this far and they have been playing really good from time to time even though I can’t help but feel that they should’ve been knocked out a couple of times already if it weren’t for the fact that many teams seems to have become a bit too secure with their leads.
What bothers me about Turkey isn’t the way the play, their players or anything sports related at all really. It’s how sports are expolited for political purposes in Turkey, used as a tool to win sympathies. I simply cannot root for such a team to win.
My bet on tonights game is based on two things:
1. What I just wrote above
2. That I believe that Germany is a stronger team and that they won’t make the same mistake others have already made.
3-1 in favor for Germany. Don’t disappoint me…
PS. I you wonder how I got the heading right on this one I’ll give you a hint: Google
