The second quarter-final of EURO 2012 is less than an hour away, with Germany and Greece doing battle for the right to clinch a place in the last four alongside Portugal. As always, we’ve rolled out the Dugout Discussion ahead of this evening’s 7.45pm kick-off.

The team news is now in and, for many Fantasy managers, it looks like it’s going to be a frustrating night…

Joachim Low makes four changes to the side that saw off Denmark in Germany’s final group game. Jerome Boateng returns at right-back after serving a one-match suspension, with Lars Bender dropping back to the bench. Up front, however, today’s earlier rumours have proven to be true – Marco Reus, Andreas Schurrle and Miroslav Klose are all handed roles in the first XI, with Thomas Muller, Lukas Podolski and Mario Gomez dropping to the bench.

Fernando Santos makes a couple of alterations to the Greece side that stunned Russia last time out. Skipper Giorgos Karagounis is suspended and is replaced in midfield by Grigorios Makos, while up front Theofanis Gekas makes way for Sotiris Ninis.

Germany Starting XI: Neuer; Boateng, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm; Khedira, Schweinsteiger; Reus, Ozil, Schurrle – Klose

Greece Starting XI: Sifakis; Torosidis, Papasthopoulos, Papadopoulos, Tzavellas; Makos, Katsouranis, Maniatis; Ninis, Samaras, Salpingidis

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Apologies to all those that made the perfectly sensible decision of getting German defenders but I enjoyed all those -1's from that pen. Of course, I will not be laughing if the same happens to my Spaniards tomorrow.
