Di atas kertas, Spanyol lebih diunggulan dibanding Portugal. Pasalnya, dari tujuh pertandingan yang mempertemukan kedua tim di turnamen internasional, hanya satu yang berhasil dimenangkan Portugal, yakni saat keduanya bertemu di Piala Eropa 2004. Dalam duel ini, Portugal unggul tipis 1-0 lewat gol Nuno Gomes (57').

Spanyol sendiri telah mengoleksi empat kemenangan. Terakhir kali Tim Matador sukses menyingkirkan Portugal dari babak 16 besar Piala Dunia 2010 lewat kemenangan 1-0 dari gol tunggal David Villa. Spanyol bahkan pernah membukukan kemenang 9-0 atas Portugal pada 1934. 

Di luar turnamen resmi, Portugal empat bulan lalu sebenarnya berhasil mengalahkan Spanyol dengan skor 4-0. Empat gol yang tercipta pada laga ini dicetak oleh Helder Postiga (dua gol), Carlos Martin, dan Hugo Almeida. "Kami tidak ingin melihat ke belakang," kata pelatih Spanyol, Vicente del Bosque, menanggapi hasil memalukan itu.

Roy Hodgson, England manager: We need to take the game by the scruff of the neck because if Italy have the chance to control it, it could be a very long night for us.The match is under way.The tempo has not dropped, but the play has become a little less precise and fluid as the teams scrap for possession in midfield - a battle that the Italians seem to be edging at the minute.
Italy kick off this fascinating last quarter-final, with both sides battling to face Germany in the last four.

Opposition fans enjoy the match together in the Olympic Stadium.

Joe Hart can do nothing as Daniele De Rossi's effort from range swerves past him, but England are saved by the woodwork.

Glen Johnson shoots at goal from three metres but Gianluigi Buffon makes a remarkable save to keep Italy level.

Four of the five teams whose goalkeepers have had to make more than 13 saves at UEFA EURO 2012 are out. England's Joe Hart has made 15 saves.

Wayne Rooney gets on to the end of Glen Johnson's cross from the right, but the pressure from Ignazio Abate is just enough to force the effort off target.

Balotelli (Italy) misses the target.

Mario Balotelli hits a wicked, swerving shot from range that looks dangerous, but eventually flies a comfortable distance over the bar for Joe Hart.

The referee blows for half-time.

Olympic Stadium: It was not for a lack of chances nor intent that it is still 0-0, Daniele de Rossi hitting the crossbar on three minutes the closest either side came but although Italy have had most possession and territory, England are countering really well.

The second half begins.

England get us under way and start brightly, getting the ball up the field quickly and putting Italy under pressure. Who will break the deadlock in this exciting contest?
 Olympic Stadium : Both halves have now started with De Rossi going mighty close. Still very open.

MINUTE 53 : Milner (England) misses the target.England respond, but territory is wasted as the winger's low effort is no danger to Gianluigi Buffon's goal.
MINUTE 56 : Pirlo (Italy) takes the corner.
Great sliding tackle from Ashely Cole concedes the corner, but again it was Ignazio Abate that was springing down the right. Nothing comes of the Pirlo delivery.

 Italy look to be building something, having possession deep in England territory. But that was the case before the break as well and England kept on countering. 

MINUTE 60 : Carroll (in) - Welbeck (out) (England). 

MINUTE 61 : Walcott (in) - Milner (out) (England). 

The substitutions yet to make an impact for England largely as they are not having much of the ball.

Andrea Pirlo is surrounded by England players but is having an excellent game in the centre of midfield for Italy.
England are struggling to match Italy's range of passing at the moment - nobody in white can replicate the role that Andrea Pirlo is playing for the Azzurri, who seems to be able to find a man in space every time, in almost any circumstance.
MINUTE 78 : Diamanti (in) - Cassano (out) (Italy).MINUTE 80 :Nocerino (in) - De Rossi (out) (Italy).

Daniele De Rossi's volley squirms wide of the post.MINUTE 90+1 : Maggio (in) - Abate (out) (Italy).MINUTE 90+3 : Rooney (England) misses the target.

Rooney (England) misses the target. A last chance for England as Ashley Cole is slipped into the area on the left. His ball to the back post is headed back across the box by Andy Carroll and the Manchester United FC forward is unable to hit the target with an extravagant overhead kick.

Who can dig deepest here and take the bit by the teeth to find that decisive goal ?MINUTE 113: Diamanti (Italy) misses the target.Alessandro Diamanti blazes wide from a little to the left of the penalty spot after being picked out wonderfully by Federico Balzaretti. Another chance goes begging for the Azzurri.

England are soaking up pressure desperately here - they haven't seen the Italian half for an age. Fortunately, Italy's profligacy has favoured Roy Hodgson's side.The referee brings an end to the second period of extra time. England have held out and now we come to penalties.

With 19 saves to his name Joe Hart has now made more stops than any other goalkeeper at UEFA EURO 2012. Can he be a hero tonight ?

Gianluigi Buffon will be more than aware that England have won only one of seven penalty shootouts they've taken part in (v Spain in EURO 96). Will it prey on England minds ?

Olympic Stadium: A shoot-out as dramatic as the game and tournament that preceded it, Buffon and Diamanti the heroes, Italy play Germany in Warsaw on Thursday. England can be proud though, they fought so hard.

Roy Hodgson, England manager: The players really fought hard. The fans appreciated it, they were magnificent throughout, I have never seen such enormous support. With the penalties I was rather hoping that it was our tournament to win one. The practising didn’t help too much.

Countdown: Germany - Greece

Stay here for all the build-up to this evening's quarter-final encounter between Germany and Greece from the Arena Gdansk.

Germany coach Joachim Löw issued a strong warning to those who believe his side can already begin planning for the UEFA EURO 2012 semi-finals: "Playing Greece will be akin to colliding with a rock."

The three-time European champions go into the tie at the Arena Gdansk on the back of a national-record 14-game winning run in competitive fixtures and, in eight previous meetings with Friday's opponents, have never lost. Yet one statistic weighs heavily in the other column: Greece triumphed at UEFA EURO 2004 when their ambitions were similarly dismissed.

"We are the favourites, that's logical and we can live with that," Löw said. "We also know that knockout games have their own character. Once the match starts, being expected to triumph counts for nothing. Greece are not the sort of team that gets ripped apart; we saw that against Russia when they upset the odds [winning 1-0]. You can never count them out."

Joachim Löw, Germany coach: We are the favourites, that's logical and we can live with that. We also know that knockout games have their own character. Greece are not the sort of team that gets ripped apart; we saw that against Russia. You can never count them out.

Fernando Santos, Greece coach: In terms of stature and importance Germany are big. But we are not here on our holidays. The 2004 team was written off before that tournament and they are our source of inspiration now.

Greece: Sifakis, Maniatis, Tzavellas, Papadopoulos, Torossidis, Papastathopoulos, Makos, Ninis, Katsouranis, Samaras, Salpingidis SUBS: Chalkias, Tzorvas, Malezas, Fotakis, Fortounis, Fetfatzidis, Liberopoulos, Mitroglou, Gekas.

Germany: Neuer, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm, Boateng, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Özil, Schürrle, Reus, Klose SUBS: Wiese, Zieler, Schmelzer, Höwedes, Mertesacker, Gündoğan, Müller, Bender, Kroos, Götze, Podolski, Gomez.

The match is under way.1st Half

Greece kick off this exciting match, dreaming of going one step closer to repeating their UEFA EURO 2004 feat.

minute 4 :Schürrle (Germany) is flagged for offside.

minute 4 : Sifakis (Greece) makes a save.

Michalis Sifakis makes a nervy start, spilling Sami Khedira's firm low effort out at the feet of oncoming German forwards - fortunately for Greece, the threatening Germans had strayed offside.

Arena Gdansk: The Germany fans away to our left were on their feet as Miroslav Klose smashed the ball home yet their joy was short-lived after the striker's effort was ruled out for offside.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos puts a challenge in on Miroslav Klose, who is making his 120th international appearance. Only Lothar Matthäus (150) has played more times for Germany.

minute 14 :Samaras (Greece) is shown a yellow card.

Samaras (Greece) is shown a yellow card.

Giorgos Samaras fouls Bastian Schweinsteiger after the German midfielder releases his pass, earning a yellow.

minute 32 : Neuer (Germany) makes a save.Good play from the industrious Giorgos Samaras picks out Sotiris Ninis on the right, who cuts inside   hits a tricky low left-footed effort, but Manuel Neuer clings on well down to his right.

Greece are defending steadfastly here, but is it a little too early to be employing such tactics? With ten minutes left in this half, plus another 45 to come, they will have a lot of pressure to deal with.

minute 39 : Lahm (Germany) scores

The captain steps up for his team, beating Michalis Sifakis to the keeper's left with a wickedly swerving effort from the edge of the area after darting off the left flank.

Assist by Özil (Germany)

Philipp Lahm's goalscoring for Germany follows a familiar pattern. He has registered his goals at two year intervals, scoring in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010 and now 2012.

Germany captain Philipp Lahm shows his team-mates how its done, shooting past Michalis Sifakis from the edge of the area and registering his fifth goal in his 90th game for his country.

Fernando Santos will have a tough team talk to give at the break. Greece have scored in 21 of their 24 matches under the coach, but need one tonight to keep their hopes alive.

The referee blows for half-time.

Arena Gdansk: Germany take a deserved lead into the break thanks to Philipp Lahm’s swerving effort six minutes before the break. Joachim Löw's side have impressed going forward while Greece have offered little in the way of a counter-attacking threat thus far.

The second half begins.

Germany get us under way again, and they are in a commanding position. Can they add another goal ?

Arena Gdansk: Greece know the scale of the task they face in trying to turn this game around. In eight previous encounters against Germany, the Greeks have never won.

minute 46 : Fotakis (in) - Tzavellas (out) (Greece),Gekas (in) - Ninis (out) (Greece).

André Schürrle is frustrated after a Germany effort fails to find the net. The Bayer 04 Leverkusen man's record at international level is excellent, having scored seven times in his previous 15 appearances.

MINUTE 55 : Samaras (Greece) scores!

Dimitris Salpingidis burst down the right to latch onto Fanis Gekas' clipped ball forward at the Greece counter. His sumptuous low cross to the far post finds Giorgos Samaras, who bundles the ball home.

MINUTE 61 : Khedira (Germany) scores

A terrific volley from the Real Madrid CF midfielder restores the German lead, his late run and jump connecting with Jérôme Boateng's cross in the middle of the area and leaving Michalis Sifakis with no chance.Assist by Boateng (Germany) Arena Gdansk: Sami Khedira's ferocious reaction to scoring his second international goal for Germany matched the manner in which he almost violently smashed Jérôme Boateng's centre into the Greece net. MINUTE 67 : T. Müller (in) - Schürrle (out) (Germany).

MINUTE 68 : Klose (Germany) scores!Miroslav Klose heads in with relative ease at the near post from Mesut Özil's delivery, reaching the ball before Kyriakos Papadopoulos and goalkeeper Michalis Sifakis to score.

MINUTE 74 : Reus (Germany) scores!Germany break and profit. Miroslav Klose latches onto Mesut Özil's through pass, forcing Michalis Sifakis into a save, but the ball breaks back to Marco Reus who crashes it back in off the crossbar.MINUTE 80 : Gomez (in) - Klose (out) (Germany). MINUTE 88 : Boateng (Germany) is penalised for handball.

MINUTE 88 : Salpingidis (Greece) scores from the penalty spot.Greece end their tournament on a high note as the forward sends Manuel Neuer the wrong way, burying his penalty in the bottom right corner. Arena Gdansk: We can practically see the sweat shining on the forehead of Germany's Mesut Özil from our commentary position high up in the stadium. The midfielder has put in a commanding performance here, showing intelligence, quick feet and an astounding array of passing as his team ease towards a place in Thursday's semi-final.

The final whistle is blown.Germany are through to the semi-finals following a dynamic attacking display here in Gdansk that put Greece to the sword. Goals from Philipp Lahm, Sami Khedira, Miroslav Klose, and Marco Reus brought Germany their 15th straight competitive win. Sami Khedira, Germany midfielder: We are very happy about our win, but after half-time we made life very difficult for ourselves. After the equaliser we kept our pace high and deserved this win, but it could have been easier.
