Euro 2008: The Quarter Finals

The group stage of Euro 2008 was completed and the eight teams that qualify to the Quarter Finals are (winner and runner-up respectively) Portugal and Turkey from Group A, Croatia and Germany from Group B, Netherlands and Italy from Group C, and Spain and Russia from Group D.

The Quarter FInals will be played over the next four days and will feature:
Quarter Final 1: Portugal vs Germany - Portugal will probably win this.
Quarter FInal 2: Croatia vs Turkey - Croatia will win probably win this, but Turkey may be the Greece of Euro 2008.
Quarter Final 3: Netherlands vs Russia - Netherlands will win this.
Quarter Final 4: Spain vs Italy - Italy may spring a surprise this time, but Spain will probably win this.

I know that I am not that good at predicting. I wrongly predicted that Czech Republic and Romania would be in the Quarter Finals. Lets hope my predictions are correct this time.

Wouldn't it be nice to see Portugal play Croatia in the Semi Final? Wouldn't it be mouthwatering to see Spain and Netherlands vying for the other Euro 2008 Final berth?
