Portugal were too strong for Czech Republic with a 1-0 win with another inspired display from Christiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar was impossible to contain as he nearly single headedly put Portugal in the Semi Finals.
Spain continued their passage through the competition with a relatively comfortable 2-0 win over a disappointing France. Alonso was the hero with a brace to give Spain a fantastic chance of winning 3 major trophies in 3 major competitions in a row, something never achieved before by a European country. Spain will now play a local derby with Portugal and attempt to keep Ronaldo quiet.
Equal favourates Germany kept their end of the bargain up with an entertaining 4-2 win over Greece. Germany were just simply too strong for a spirited Greece and now look ahead to a tough Semi Final with Italy to see who advances to the Final late next week.
