Predictions for Friday's Germany-Greece quarterfinal:

MIKE ZEISBERGER

Germany 1, Greece 0: Nothing will come easy for the favourites against the smothering Greek defence.

DAN BILICKI

Germany 2, Greece 0: The Greeks have been more than lucky to make it this far. They won't be able to counter against the strong Germans.

KURTIS LARSON

Germany 2, Greece 1: The Blue and White will find a way to keep it tight.

MORRIS DALLA COSTA

Germany 2, Greece 0: Greece will be difficult to break down, but the Germans have the depth to keep coming and wear out their opponents.
