The first quarter-final of Euro 2008 sees Germany play Portugal in Basel on Thursday night, for what is an intriguing encounter between the 1996 winners and 2004 finalists. Germany came into the tournament as favourites with PinnacleSports.com, but having finished second in Group B, they now take a more difficult route. The Germans are now priced 7.000* for outright success behind the Portuguese who are now 6.000* to lift the Euro 2008 trophy on June 29th. Portugal have a more fluid passing game with the likes of Ronaldo and Deco, but lack an out-an-out striker. Germany are more solid defensively, have proven strikers, but lack the service. PinnacleSports.com are offering 1.96/1.96 style Asian Handicaps, and live-betting for the game.
Euro 2008 Quarter-final 2: Turkey v Croatia (June 20)
Four years ago at Euro 2004 Greece captured the neutral supporters’ vote, emerging as unlikely winners. This time around, following two last gasp victories, Turkey have become everyone’s favourite Euro 2008 under-dog. It would be some story were Fatih Terim’s side able to make it all the way to the final, having looked down and out after opening with a 2-0 defeat to Portugal. They now face Euro 2008 Group B winners Croatia, but are without first choice goalkeeper Demirel, sent off the amazing conclusion to their 3-2 win over the Czech Republic. Croatia bring a 100% record into the last eight, and have shortened in the Euro 2008 outright betting at PinnacleSports.com to 9.000* with the win over Germany of particular significance. The Croatians have grown in confidence, and coach Slavan Bilic had the luxury of resting key players in the win over Poland.

Quarter-final 3: Italy v Spain (June 21)
Italy have come back from the brink of elimination from Euro 2008 outright betting, rebounding from a 3-0 opening defeat to Holland, to book their place in the quarter-finals, after beating France 2-0 on Tuesday night. It was a tense night, as both the French and Italians fate was out of their hands, but Romania lost to Holland, giving Italy passage to the final eight, where they meet Spain. The Spaniards will be deserved favourites for the clash, having topped Euro 2008 Group D, but must overcome their tendency to fall short when burdened with expectation. They were able to rest players against Greece on Wednesday night, whereas Italy will be without Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso, both suspended after yellow cards against France. Perlo’s absence robs Italy of creativity in midfield, which Spain have in abundance, along with pace up front; their Achilles heel maybe in defence. PinnacleSports.com are offering 1.96/1.96 style Asian Handicaps, and live-betting for the game.
Quarter-final 4: Russia v Holland (June 22)
Russia’s 2-0 defeat of Sweden on Wednesday night could go down as pivotal moment in the country’s renaissance on the international soccer stage. Under the guidance of coach, Guus Hiddink, Russia were positive and professional in dispatching the Swedes, growing visibly in confidence and shedding the inferiority complex that has the dogged the Russian national side for so long. They must now take that development to the next level facing tournament favourites Holland in the final Euro 2008 quarter-final. The Dutch are 4.550* on PinnacleSports.com's outright Euro 2008 betting market, whereas the Russians have been clipped in to 18.550*, but still have only Turkey below them in the Euro 2008 betting market at PinnacleSports.com. The Dutch have been hugely impressive, even beating Romania with a second string, but it remains to be seen how they deal with the burden of expectation that being Euro 2008 favourites brings.
