Greece have been outplayed by Poland, Czech Republic and Russia, yet they managed to lose only one of those. All three opponents went into half-time (at 1-0, 2-0 and 0-1) wondering why they had not scored more.

Germany, meanwhile, have beaten all three teams put in front of them, and all are arguably more talented than Greece. Portugal, Netherlands and Denmark have all been beaten and Germany are yet to be behind in this tournament.

At the quarter-final stage Germany will be wary of the Greek threat, but I suspect they may find Greece of 2012 rather less difficult to overcome than Greece of 2004.

Without getting political about it, expect Germany to force a Grexit from the Euro's sooner rather than later.
