I like to relate Portugal to the Chicago Cubs .... They just won't lose ! I think that it is going to be Portugal and Greece and the finals.

Since I see to be the only German supporter around here, I will leave it to me to sing and chant their way all the way to a championship

You're not the only German supporter here.

I don't see Germany losing or tying in the group they have.

DEUTSCHLAND!
