Hello. Last night, it was all about the one Ronnie, Cristiano Ronaldo.

:01:17.:01:20.

Tonight, the story is not just about the euro's, but also the

:01:20.:01:25.

Eurozone, as Germany and Greece met in a match with a significant

:01:25.:01:28.

political backdrop. I am delighted to have them two men who are always

:01:28.:01:33.

on the money, Robbie Savage and Steve Staunton, who will thankfully

:01:33.:01:37.

stick to the football. After the action, we will hear from Roy

:01:37.:01:41.

Hodgson. Its head straight to get danced for the last clash between

:01:41.:01:45.

the group B winners and the Group E runners up. These two countries are

:01:46.:01:50.

locked in a bail-out battle that could change the face of Europe.

:01:50.:01:57.

Cure austerity groups are owed a 365 billions, but do not like the

:01:57.:02:01.

terms and conditions. On the pitch, it is no surprise that Germany have

:02:01.:02:05.

the upper hand. They cruised through the group, Mario Gomez as

:02:05.:02:13.

the golden boy. As for Greece, they beat Russia to qualify with Cold

:02:13.:02:19.

War pass Karagounis, but he is banned for this. The class of 2012

:02:19.:02:22.

will miss him. They can look back at the class of 2004 for

:02:22.:02:32.
:02:32.:02:35.

inspiration. Simon Brotherton and years ago and have never managed to

:02:35.:02:38.

beat them. But if they can cause an upset tonight, they deserve all the

:02:38.:02:48.
:02:48.:03:24.

England's win over Sweden, and before that Denmark's victory over

:03:24.:03:34.
:03:34.:03:35.

the Netherlands. Greece are without their talismanic leader and captain

:03:35.:03:45.
:03:45.:04:06.

this evening. He is suspended. Germany's footballing ability or

:04:07.:04:10.

their economic strength, but in a one-off game, as Greece have shown

:04:10.:04:14.

more than once in the past, anything can happen. That is why we

:04:14.:04:23.

all watch football. Mark Bright is alongside made. I think everyone is

:04:23.:04:26.

surprised that the German coach rang the changes. I think we can

:04:26.:04:34.

understand a bit more physicality up front. Fees Germany looking to

:04:34.:04:42.

attack straight away. Papastathopoulos had to step in

:04:42.:04:49.

rapidly. It was not offside, but the assistant down the near side

:04:49.:04:56.

gave it. That is the coach, in charge of 24 matches since taking

:04:56.:05:06.

over. Greece have only lost twice. Schweinsteiger is taking on more

:05:06.:05:10.

responsibility in the team following the retirement of Michael

:05:10.:05:17.

Ballack. Germany looking lively. Germany are ahead already! The flag

:05:17.:05:22.

goes up at the near side. It will not count. Excellent play from

:05:22.:05:31.

Germany, taking the game to Greece. Khedira's shot was parried. Correct

:05:31.:05:41.

decision. The goalkeeper stayed on the ground here. This was probably

:05:41.:05:51.
:05:51.:06:11.

where there was a compact. It was Greece. Grigoris Makos is playing

:06:11.:06:21.
:06:21.:06:21.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:06:21.:07:27.

very highly regarded player. He has had rave reviews during his couple

:07:27.:07:37.
:07:37.:07:38.

of seasons in the Bundesliga. Blocked by Sifakis and the way for

:07:38.:07:41.

a corner kick. That looked as though it was going to be the

:07:41.:07:51.
:07:51.:07:58.

opening goal. Excellent stop by Germany have had almost 70% of the

:07:59.:08:08.
:08:09.:08:22.

play so far. Greece standing firm. Beaten away by the goalkeeper.

:08:22.:08:29.

Greece are under pressure at the moment. They have to hold on.

:08:29.:08:37.

much respite for Greece here, as Germany slowly up the ante, go

:08:37.:08:47.
:08:47.:09:00.

through the gears. So close. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is in the

:09:00.:09:04.

crowd tonight. She is considered a lucky charm for the national team,

:09:04.:09:08.

having seen their 4-0 victory over Argentina at the World Cup finals

:09:08.:09:12.

two years ago, but she was unable to attend the semi-final. So if

:09:12.:09:17.

Germany get through, she will have to fit the football into her busy

:09:17.:09:27.
:09:27.:09:34.

schedule for the semi-. Germany are getting closer. Very good chances.

:09:34.:09:42.

Unchallenged. I get the feeling of the coach expected slightly more

:09:42.:09:48.

there. It looks like just a matter of time, but with Greece, you never

:09:48.:09:58.
:09:58.:10:02.

know. It does. Greece do not throw many players forward. Good job from

:10:02.:10:12.
:10:12.:10:12.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:10:12.:10:54.

Germany's point of view. I thought back as that ball was spilled by

:10:54.:11:04.
:11:04.:11:19.

body in the way. Good play once again. He is proving to be the hero

:11:19.:11:29.
:11:29.:12:01.

from the captain! Germany finally make the breakthrough. Sifakis

:12:01.:12:06.

finally beaten by Philip Lahm, the man who scored the opening goal in

:12:06.:12:11.

the World Cup of 2006. He scores the first goal of this quarter-

:12:11.:12:15.

final here at Euro 2012. It is similar to the one he scored in

:12:15.:12:22.

2006. Comes inside on to the right foot, and fires it. You see it

:12:22.:12:32.
:12:32.:12:41.

swerve away from Sifakis. That was the goal they were looking for.

:12:41.:12:49.

is all Germany here. But Greece are still just about in the game. That

:12:49.:12:54.

was very nearly two there from Andre Schurrle. I thought it was in.

:12:54.:13:04.
:13:04.:13:27.

ringing at the back. Good counter- attacking football. That is better

:13:27.:13:37.
:13:37.:13:55.

of the ball. Samaras is there! And Greece are level! Giorgos Samaras

:13:55.:14:00.

with the goal. They have done ever so well with the counter-attack,

:14:00.:14:10.
:14:10.:14:12.

Greece. Lots of pace. He delivered the perfect pass. Greece well on

:14:12.:14:16.

the ropes throughout the first half. Germany had the half-time lead, but

:14:16.:14:23.

they would not lie down. Boateng does not do his job properly. I

:14:23.:14:28.

think he gets his shirt pulled a bit, but this was an excellent ball.

:14:28.:14:38.

Right across the six-yard box. Full credit to Greece. They have come

:14:38.:14:47.

out and had a goal in the second half and made a game of it. Will

:14:47.:14:53.

Germany sale on into the last four, or will Greece again came up --

:14:53.:14:57.

come up with a massive upset here, having already knocked Russia out

:14:57.:15:05.

in the group stages with a win in the final group match in Warsaw? We

:15:05.:15:15.
:15:15.:15:29.

Schweinsteiger. That was Khedira. It is 2-1 Germany. Greece were

:15:29.:15:34.

level for barely five minutes. Germany stormed into action and

:15:34.:15:39.

restore their lead. They had some long-range shots in the first half

:15:39.:15:43.

and they broke from the midfield there and drove it into the penalty

:15:43.:15:53.
:15:53.:15:53.

area. Khedira chyme its dealing in. It was a fantastic finish. -- a

:15:53.:16:03.
:16:03.:16:12.

Sami Khedira. Ken Rees pick themselves off the canvas for his

:16:12.:16:22.
:16:22.:16:32.

second time there? Be better come offer a bit more going forward, a

:16:32.:16:40.

bit more threat. They prove that when they want to go for it, if

:16:40.:16:50.
:16:50.:17:08.

they give it a real go, they are a of a merry dance at the moment.

:17:08.:17:18.
:17:18.:17:39.

That is a foul. Papastathopoulos is are heading now surely for another

:17:39.:17:44.

European Championship semi-final. Klose scores on home territory.

:17:44.:17:48.

Polish-born and there it is another goal for Germany. Right in the

:17:48.:17:58.
:17:58.:17:58.

middle of your screen their you can see it is brilliant. It was a neat

:17:58.:18:07.

header. What a record Klose has in international tournaments. Quite

:18:07.:18:14.

incredible. 64 goals and 120 games. Greece threatened to make it

:18:14.:18:18.

interesting for five minutes in the second half. They did, you thought

:18:18.:18:21.

they would test Germany. They looked at ease in the first half

:18:21.:18:27.

and were more moving the ball around comfortably. Klose just went

:18:27.:18:37.

for the perfect finish. Or to strike! Germany are flowing forward.

:18:37.:18:47.

That was fine finishing from a Reus. Semi-finals of a now for Germany.

:18:47.:18:53.

This is a decent save but that is an emphatic finish. The goalkeeper

:18:53.:18:57.

was off the line and still had plenty to do. That was very

:18:57.:19:02.

confident and bold. It is easy if you are 3-1 up. It shows the depth

:19:02.:19:11.

in this court. It is an excellent finish. That was super-smooth this

:19:11.:19:21.
:19:21.:19:37.

right behind the ball there. It is not looking good for Greece. You

:19:37.:19:41.

just get the feeling somebody is going to have to play very well to

:19:41.:19:51.
:19:51.:20:04.

Sifakis came low. His handling has not been the best tonight. Journey

:20:04.:20:11.

last won the trophy from England back in 1996. This will be a free

:20:11.:20:18.

kick for Greece. They went out in a group stages in those 20021004.

:20:18.:20:21.

There was a rebuilding process going on between generations of

:20:21.:20:27.

players. They were runners up four years ago, beaten by Spain. Always

:20:27.:20:31.

there or thereabouts. Three-times winners and three time the runners

:20:31.:20:41.
:20:41.:20:53.

his back and hit him on the hand. He hasn't got much calms -- qualms

:20:53.:20:59.

about that. It clearly struck him on the arm. A chance for a late

:20:59.:21:05.

consolation from Greece here. This players scored the first ever World

:21:05.:21:11.

Cup goal for Greece. His score their first goal in this tournament.

:21:11.:21:15.

Will he bookend it nicely with of the last a goal that Greece will

:21:15.:21:23.

score here in Poland? Yes. Years. It is 4-2 and Greece have a late

:21:23.:21:27.

consolation. That is a bit more respectable. A super penalty.

:21:27.:21:35.

put that away really well, Salpingdis. Germany is through to

:21:35.:21:45.
:21:45.:21:54.

the last four as most people Greece did not end up 0-0 there.

:21:54.:21:58.

saw some contrasting styles of play there. The Greeks were very

:21:58.:22:03.

defensive in everything they have done tonight. Then you had the

:22:03.:22:08.

opposite with the free-flowing Germans. A very young and

:22:08.:22:15.

experienced team. Wonderful talent. They are a joy to watch. All I can

:22:15.:22:19.

say is, Greece were very lucky that the Germans did not score a little

:22:19.:22:23.

bit more. So many chances at the start. The tournament has been very

:22:23.:22:29.

pleasing and we have been enjoying every game and there have been no

:22:29.:22:39.
:22:39.:22:43.

neil-Neale's yet. That was great. Lahm produced the world. It took a

:22:43.:22:48.

little bauble there. To be fair, I am sure the keeper could do a

:22:48.:22:52.

little bit better -- I am not sure the keeper could do a little bit

:22:52.:22:56.

better. I think he should. He ought to get a hand on it. That second

:22:56.:23:01.

ball was a lovely ball in, and what a folly, I think he courted on him

:23:01.:23:10.

shin but it is going only one place and that is past the keeper.

:23:10.:23:16.

took the defender away and his sleep, he gets up so high. I have

:23:16.:23:26.

got to say the Greek goalkeeper was shocking. A great header though.

:23:26.:23:32.

Sifakis was Sunday League tonight. What a volley that is. Keep or no

:23:32.:23:39.

keeper, he is not stopping that. Let us have a look at that. We know

:23:39.:23:43.

in 2004 there was negativity over the Greeks but they have now done

:23:43.:23:52.

themselves tonight really. That is a bit harsh but fair. Back in 2004,

:23:52.:23:57.

the quality of the players they had was much better. My cap here from

:23:57.:24:01.

the kick-off, they have no intention of winning or doing

:24:01.:24:07.

anything in the game. They are playing for penalties already.

:24:07.:24:11.

deeper and they would be in Warsaw! Look at this, this is the start of

:24:11.:24:14.

the game and the Germans are just thinking, come on then, they have

:24:14.:24:17.

thinking, come on then, they have to go forward. Here we go, we see

:24:17.:24:26.

them here and they have got ten players in and around the box. The

:24:26.:24:30.

centre-forward Salpingdis is halfway into his own half. There

:24:30.:24:35.

are 11 of them and they are within 25 yards of the goal. They have no

:24:35.:24:40.

chance of breaking out from there. It must be summoned to practise

:24:40.:24:45.

that in the run-up to a game, the manager says close down one half of

:24:45.:24:49.

the pitch. They did well to get to the quarter-final given how bad

:24:49.:24:55.

they are. Can you born 18 into making mistakes? There were few

:24:55.:25:02.

tonight. I think they did. I think Germany went down to their level.

:25:02.:25:06.

Schweinsteiger was fantastic so far for Germany, dictating the wake of

:25:06.:25:09.

play but he kept giving the ball away tonight. He was sloppy. Not

:25:09.:25:14.

too many options. It was too easy for him and if England get through

:25:14.:25:18.

they can watch this and say that if you put pressure on them they give

:25:18.:25:24.

the ball away easy. Schweinsteiger here is giving the ball away. The

:25:24.:25:29.

manager was going mad, he was getting frustrated. There are flaws

:25:29.:25:37.

in their armour. Salpingdis here, except for the keeper's stock

:25:37.:25:43.

position he was clean through on goal. Motta gives the ball away too

:25:43.:25:53.
:25:53.:26:00.

easy and that led to a goal. -- which is fair enough. He should be

:26:00.:26:04.

sprinting back in there. Badstuber is on the wrong side. He should be

:26:04.:26:10.

tucked round. He is trying to read the 1-2. He is trying to do the

:26:10.:26:20.
:26:20.:26:20.

overlap and run. Salpingdis turns and he should hit the target. It is

:26:20.:26:30.

and he should hit the target. It is that -- it is that engine room for

:26:30.:26:35.

them. Ozil was up with the best tonight. Yes he is up with the best.

:26:35.:26:40.

I saw him in the young leek and he is a joy to watch. Look at him here.

:26:40.:26:43.

is a joy to watch. Look at him here. He is in acres of space, he always

:26:43.:26:47.

find space. He knows what is around him and he receives a on the half

:26:47.:26:48.

him and he receives a on the half term. What a lovely little born in

:26:48.:26:53.

there. He was unlucky. That wasn't the first few minutes. Here he

:26:53.:26:56.

receives it and he does not have to look, he knows where his man is and

:26:56.:27:01.

you can see there are three great players around him. Again he just

:27:01.:27:05.

passes a, moves and finds a new position and gets it and weighs up

:27:05.:27:10.

his option and passes forward and follows and keeps going and he

:27:10.:27:14.

should do better actually, you would put money on him scoring a.

:27:14.:27:18.

Again he picks it up on the right hand side, he goes into the

:27:18.:27:21.

defender and commits them and that was a lovely little ball with his

:27:21.:27:26.

right foot. He always finds his man. Again, in the whole, in that little

:27:26.:27:29.

pocket, the right hand side takes one, a little shimmy and he goes to

:27:29.:27:34.

the byline and there is nothing on and he keeps hold of it and wins

:27:34.:27:38.

his team at free kick in a dangerous area. Again here, on the

:27:38.:27:42.

half term, going into two centre- halves, puts them on their

:27:42.:27:46.

backsides and he is unlucky with his right foot. Again will, on the

:27:46.:27:50.

right-hand side, comes in and sprints after it. Again, unlucky

:27:50.:27:56.

with his shot. He deserved a goal tonight. You would hope that

:27:56.:27:59.

England will not give him that it England will not give him that it

:27:59.:28:02.

amount of room. There was a sub- plot tonight about it being about

:28:02.:28:07.

more than just football, with the Eurozone crisis and it is summed up

:28:07.:28:12.

by the tears in this man's eyes. Juxtapose this against his

:28:12.:28:17.

outpouring of glory from Angela Merkel, that is the definition of

:28:17.:28:23.

rubbing it in. We are winning and we will take �350 billion. Germany

:28:23.:28:28.

are through. Before we move on we will look at the action on the

:28:28.:28:31.

will look at the action on the grass continuing. Tomorrow is the

:28:31.:28:37.

final day of Royal Ascot and all eyes are on black caviar, the

:28:37.:28:40.

wonder from Down Under is unbeaten in 21 races and is expected to fly

:28:40.:28:50.
:28:50.:28:51.

again and when the diamond Jubilee Stakes. We are back with highlights

:28:51.:29:00.

of Spain against France tomorrow at 10:50pm on BBC One. On Monday,

:29:00.:29:07.

strawberries, cream and Wimbledon begins. Watch it all across BBC One

:29:07.:29:13.

and BBC Two and on the red button and BBC Two and on the red button

:29:13.:29:17.

and online. That starts on Monday. If England beat Italy in Kiev on

:29:17.:29:22.

Sunday they will reach the semis and equal their best ever Euros

:29:23.:29:27.

record. Roy and his boys have done good and we caught up with him to

:29:27.:29:32.

gauge his mood. The first thing to do is check

:29:32.:29:39.

injuries, is everyone OK? everyone is good. There was a nasty

:29:39.:29:43.

kick at the end of the game and he has recovered. Jermain Defoe was

:29:43.:29:51.

back after his need to go back home before his father's funeral. Your

:29:51.:29:54.

philosophy is organisation, discipline and unselfishness and

:29:54.:29:58.

that is the Italian way? Would you agree? Yes, they are very

:29:58.:30:02.

disciplined, they like organisation in the football. There have very

:30:02.:30:07.

professional players and they really do accept that if you are a

:30:07.:30:10.

professional football you have to make sacrifices in your private

:30:10.:30:20.
:30:20.:30:23.

life and in your professional life The Italians say a lot of Italian

:30:23.:30:28.

in the English side. It all looks very evenly matched. It looks as if

:30:28.:30:37.

they are trying to take credit for things. A lot of our players have

:30:37.:30:40.

had a lot of Italian influence in their lives. They are also

:30:41.:30:48.

organised and disciplined. When I came in, I had to change the whole

:30:48.:30:53.

playing philosophy. The zonal system of play that you see today,

:30:53.:30:57.

I could even suggest that the Italians get that from England.

:30:57.:31:01.

their press Conference, they were saying that they are the underdogs.

:31:01.:31:07.

That is very Italian! Let's say they are not and it is 50-50. We

:31:07.:31:13.

have to tom penalties. Does everybody practice in training?

:31:13.:31:18.

Everybody practises penalties. But you have to make sure you practice

:31:18.:31:24.

in a very professional way. You have to get away from a golf

:31:24.:31:28.

driving range mentality, where you take a bucket of balls and smash

:31:28.:31:31.

them all around the driving range and remember the three good ones.

:31:31.:31:38.

It is not about quantity? Not at all. Sometimes, the quantity

:31:38.:31:45.

element is wrong. Regularity of practice is useful. It is not an

:31:45.:31:48.

unattractive thing to do at the end of a training session, as long as

:31:49.:31:56.

you make it clear to the players that you have to take three and try

:31:56.:32:01.

and score three. I understand you occasionally break training to tell

:32:01.:32:06.

the story of the scorpion and the Frog. It is the story of the frog

:32:06.:32:10.

that carries the scorpion across. Yes, the scorpion wants to get to

:32:10.:32:16.

the other side. And he can't swim, so he asks the frog if he would

:32:16.:32:23.

give him a piggyback ride. And the frog says no, you are a scorpion.

:32:23.:32:26.

You will sting me and I will die. And the scorpion persuades him that

:32:26.:32:31.

that will not happen because if he stings him and from dies, he drowns.

:32:31.:32:35.

So the Froch accepts that argument and the logic of it, so he puts the

scorpion on his back and swims him across the river. But halfway

:32:38.:32:42.

across the age river, he feels a terrible sting in his back and says

:32:42.:32:47.

to the scorpion, you have stung me. And scorpion replies, it is in my

:32:47.:32:53.

nature. Why do you tell that? was a joke, because one of the

:32:53.:32:58.

people had done something, and just to amuse them, I was making clear

:32:58.:33:02.

that it was in the person's nature. He couldn't help it. It is the

:33:02.:33:06.

nature of this team at the moment to fight and win. I hope that

:33:06.:33:11.

continues. It is true. It is a very good natured and we are happy to

:33:11.:33:15.

have got through the three games. Now we want to go on in the

:33:15.:33:19.

tournament a lot longer. We have got a chance, and the players will

:33:19.:33:25.

do their best to take that chance. Let's hope lackeys on our side.

:33:25.:33:30.

there is no sting in the tail. He is a PR expert, Roy. Even Ashley

:33:30.:33:36.

Cole was doing interviews today. Rare for him to come out and talk

:33:36.:33:41.

so openly. I have turned private investigator today. It could go to

:33:41.:33:45.

penalties, many people are saying. I have found evidence. You may

:33:45.:33:50.

think this is bad news. It is from the Man City website, Balotelli

:33:50.:33:54.

against Joe Hart. He was all over the place, but he learned from his

:33:54.:33:59.

mistake. What about that? second one was a shocking penalty

:33:59.:34:04.

by Balotelli. There is another interesting thing on the penalty

:34:04.:34:09.

front. 16 years ago today, this happened. Let me take you to Euro

:34:09.:34:19.

96. Who could forget this? So glad we have changed it are graphics. Go

:34:19.:34:25.

on, Seiko! One of the most iconic celebrations in all of football.

:34:25.:34:30.

Fantastic. He had a lovely quiff going on. Talking of bad hair, we

:34:30.:34:35.

can't show the penalty being scored by peers without showing this one.

:34:35.:34:42.

Happy memories. We were also chatting earlier about the player's

:34:42.:34:47.

of the tournament so far. We have already highlighted one tonight.

:34:47.:34:52.

Ronaldo goes without saying. The tournament could be his to take.

:34:52.:34:58.

What about Stevie Gerrard? Gerrard has had its huge influence on this

:34:58.:35:05.

England team and the tournament. Steve played with him at Liverpool,

:35:05.:35:10.

and he has been absolutely superb. People talk about Beckham's

:35:10.:35:15.

delivery being the best. Steven Gerrard's delivery this tournament

:35:15.:35:20.

has been unbelievable. It is his attitude as well. He has got the

:35:20.:35:24.

long-range passing and the short range. Look at this for a great

:35:24.:35:34.
:35:34.:35:37.

attitude. He hustles and hustles. He has led by example. He knows

:35:37.:35:45.

Rooney is getting forward. He has been absolutely magnificent, Steven

:35:45.:35:55.
:35:55.:36:01.

Gerrard. Polo has had a great season. He is an unbelievable

:36:01.:36:08.

player. Both feet, wonderful passer. Robbie, the key with how Roy has

:36:08.:36:12.

managed him is, you can't make those runs all the time. You need

:36:12.:36:20.

to conserve energy and choose your moments. That is what he has done.

:36:21.:36:25.

They have got creativity in the wings. England have a chance.

:36:25.:36:30.

tempt fate. I am even been cautious with this link. The BBC might have

:36:30.:36:38.

one, two or three England games for you on the way over the next few

:36:38.:36:48.
:36:48.:36:48.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:36:48.:37:40.

Gentlemen, with Greece out of the way, we can look forward to a

:37:40.:37:46.

mouth-watering five games ahead. There is really nothing now to be

:37:46.:37:52.

negative about. This is the way it starts now. Spain, France, England,

:37:52.:38:02.
:38:02.:38:10.

Italy. The semi-finals will be But tactically, Spain versus France

:38:10.:38:14.

could be one of those where you expect so much that it could turn

:38:14.:38:22.

out to be a boring game. Are we feeling the French? I think so.
