The soccer world is focussed on Basel this evening for that semi-final showdown between Germany and Turkey. The Turks have shown remarkable resilience to win their last three matches, but are now faced with a depleted squad, ravaged by suspensions and injuries. Germany were pre-tournament favourites but took some time to hit their stride -- with a 3-2 victory over Portugal in the quarter final. And they're doing everything to ensure tonight is a repeat performance.
