The final four at Euro 2008 is set and today's first semifinal match pits Germany against Turkey. Russia will play Spain on Wednesday in the other semifinal. With the supposed favorites - the Netherlands and Portugal - already knocked out of the tournament, the title seems up for grabs. So, who will win?

"It is hard to bet against the comeback Turks, who have really livened up the tournament with their last minute goals. However, both Turkey and upstart Russia will be without some key players in the semifinal because of yellow card suspensions. I look for Germany and Spain to make the final, and Sergio Ramos will boot the winning goal for the Spanish side."

"I like Germany from here on out. They are taking on Cinderella-story Turkey, who has really been the darling of this tournament. As fun as it has been to watch the Turks, this is when the big boys come out to play. Remember, this same squad took third in the last World Cup, and is looking to prove something. With talent like Lukas Podolski and Michael Ballack, Die Mannshaft will prevail!"

"Sorry soccer fans, but the only European I'm concerned about is Danilo Gallinari. Will New Jersey take him at 10th overall? Could he slide down to the Pacers? We got an NBA Draft on the horizon. Why are we talking fútbol?"
