Greece v Germany

[ang]

Rumour has it Merkel is going to make the trip from Berlin to Gdansk for the game. Should be fun!

That rumour would appear to be correct

* Merkel strong supporter of team

* Players call chancellor 'lucky charm'

German chancellor Angela Merkel will attend Friday's Euro 2012 quarter-final with Greece in Gdansk, adding to the political spice in a clash that pitches the euro zone's most troubled economy against its rich northern paymaster.

Good luck to you fluffy. I will be standing in the public viewing in Berlin, with my son, him wearing a German shirt, waving the German flag ("I can do this because Ireland are out!") and generally wanting his mothers team to win!

It will be an unusual feeling.

A Greek shirt??? In the middle of Berlin?? Eh, I don't think so. I know what the average German thinks of Greece so I won't be embarking on any kamikaze behaviour, thanks all the same!

I'll be wearing my Panathinaikos colours

Greek team preparing for Friday evening



But Schauble once again says "Nein"

The Greeks have played great against Russia. This is not an easy game. But the German team is in top form. And so I think that Germany wins with 3:1.”

There are a few public viewing spots here for it. Potsdamer Platz is one of them.

But I will be watching in a pub in Prenzlauer Berg. Food in a Russian restaurant first
and then an evening of good football (I hope!) and better beer.
