Euro 2008 - Knock out round

So I have given you my groups...what about the knock out stages? Based on my "predictions" here is we go -

1/4 Finals -
Germany v Switzerland - Once again Germany gets a lucky draw....granted it is the host nation but still. Germany wins 1-0 to move on.
Portugal v Croatia - 6 months ago this would have been an intriguing match up, the rock solid team of Croatia vs the flair of Portugal. Without Eduardo, Croatia is declawed.....Portugal is too talented. Portugal wins 3-1
France v Greece - Ah a rematch from 4 years ago....will revenge be sweet? Yes, Les Bleus do not take Hellas lightly. France wins 2-1
Spain v Italy - The most mouth watering 1/4 final, will Spain beat its demons? Or will Italy emerge to continue its quest for the "double?" I think Spain have too much and without Cannavaro Italy cannot stop Torres. Spain 1-0

1/2 finals -
Germany v Portugal - Oh a rematch from the world cup 3rd place game. This time Germany does not have the home field advantage and Portugal does care about the game. Ronaldo is too much for the German defense to handle. Portugal 2-1
Spain v France - So much history between these nations, Euro 1984 finals, Euro 2000 1/4 finals, World Cup 2006 1/4 finals....all of those France victories. Too bad that string does not continue, Spain gets the monkey off their back and gets into a major final....unfortunately. Spain 1-0

Finals -
Spain v Portugal - An Iberian peninsula finals, wow. Spain will look to rid themselves of the moniker of chokers in big tournaments while Portugal will look to achieve what it could not on home soil 4 years ago. In the end I think Spain have to much talent and will overwhelm their Iberian brothers. Spain 3-1

Yes I am calling Spain as our Euro 2008 champs, a risk prediction based on their usual run of form. However I think they finally have all the pieces in place. They are experienced, have oodles of talent, have players that are playing in England (giving them toughness they otherwise lacked) and do not have Raul who in my mind had become a cancer for the team.

Viva Espana!
