Germany was the only team to win all three of its games in the group stage at Euro 2012, despite being in the so-called "Group of Death." Ranked third in the world in the most recent FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings, the Germans scored wins over No. 10 Portugal, No. 4 the Netherlands and No. 9 Denmark to win the group. Mario Gomez scored three goals in the group stage to lead the team, while goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been on form as well, turning aside nine of the 11 shots he's faced.
Greece, meanwhile, is a surprise entrant into the quarterfinals after stunning Russia in the final match of the group stage. Carrying the hopes of a financially struggling nation, the Greeks have gotten solid play in goal from Michalis Sifakis, who hasn't allowed a goal since replacing Portsmouth keeper Kostas Chalkias during Greece's loss to the Czech Republic.
The winner of the match will face the winner of Sunday's quarterfinal, which pits England against Italy.
