Group D stays the course
When the draw for Euro 2008 was conducted, Group C was dubbed the 'group of death' by many commentators and it was anticipated that one of the finalists if not the winner would come from that group.
But it is Group C that is now guaranteed of a finalist after Spain knocked out Group D runner-up Italy in a penalty shoot-out.
Spain is the only group leader to reach the semis and they will meet a team they beat 4-1 in the group opening match.
That feat doesn't look like it will be repeated this time around and if anything it could be Russia in the final to meet the winner between Germany and Turkey.
