Euros - If Germany are to win they'll have to get past the PIGS

[Jim D]

Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain - can't manage an economy but not doing too bad at footie. Every one of them would just LOVE to be the ones to beat Germany!

Good point I think the Greeks will be well up for it. It'll be like when we lost to Norway:

"Frau Merkel, your boys took a hell of a blitzkrieging"..(in a Greek accent)

They can't play all of them, they only have 3 games left to play.

Why did I hear somewhere that we'd get Germany in the semis if we beat Italy then?

Don't think that's right. Swap Germany/Greece with Spain/France in the Quarters

Why are you two conspiring to make it look like I got it wrong. Editing what you quote isn't clever, y'know.

So, to win, Germany need to beat:
Greece,
Italy (possibly England)
Spain (unlikely Portugal)

PEGS not PIGS I hope
