Germany will be hoping to emulate the feats of 1996 when they come up against a much weakened but inspired Turkey national soccer team in the first semifinal of the Euro 2008 championships in Zurich this coming Wednesday 25^th June 2008, our Euro 2008 broadcast starting from 18:00 GMT.

Germany played out of their skin to dispose tournament favourites Portugal in their previous clash and will be full of confidence going into this semifinal date with Turkey. Faced up against the likes of Simao, Ronaldo and Deco, Germany pulled off a marvelous performance and richly deserved their 3-2 victory. Michael Ballack and Bastian Schweinsteiger in particular were immense throughout the clash as the Germans shrugged off a rather timid start to the Championships to thump the Euro 2004 finalists out of the tournament. Germany have a habit of coming on strong towards the latter half of major international tournaments and will be encouraged by their recent form against Turkey. Germany have won their last six encounters against Turkey and on paper, there is only one clear-cut winner. With the likes of Podolski, Klose and Ballack in the form of their lives, it would take a brave man indeed to bet against the Germans reaching their fourth Euro final when they come up against Turkey in Zurich this coming Wednesday.

Turkey on the other hand, have been reliant on inspiration rather than pure talent as three insanely close matches have all gone their way. Their previous clash against Croatia will go down in history books as one of the most dramatic ever matches, even surpassing their feat against the Czech Republic earlier in the Group stage. After enduring 119 minutes of battering by an inform Croatian outfit, the Turks fell behind only to equalize in the injury time of extra time. As fate would have ordained, Turkey soon went on to win the penalty shootouts. However, the victory did place a heavy toll on the team as they now have more than half their squad out through injuries and suspensions. Turkey might well go into this clash with less than their quota of eleven players and will be missing star striker Nihat to a thigh injury. Emre Asik, Tuncay Sanli, Arda Turan and Volkan Demirel are also suspended for this clash. However, the Euro 2008 championships have drawn light on the extraordinary fighting qualities of the Turkey soccer outfit and expect surprises in galore when they come up against Germany this coming Wednesday in Zurich.
