Published in Ahram Online on 22 - 06 - 2012

* Germany have never lost to Greece in eight meetings, seven of them in competitive fixtures. But their only clash at a tournament final at Euro 2008 ended in a 0-0 draw.

* Germany striker Miroslav Klose, his country's leading scorer in the qualifying campaign with nine goals, has failed to find the net at this tournament where he has mainly been used as a substitute.
* Greece, surprise winners of Euro 2004, sneaked into the quarter-finals with a 1-0 win over Russia. It was the eighth successive game in which the Greeks have scored a single goal and extended a run to 12 matches in which they have not failed to score.
* Greece remain hard to beat and have lost only two of 24 games in the past two years.
* Greece's victory over Russia, who were the only team to beat them at Euro 2004, was their first at a European Championship since their amazing run to the title that year.
