SOUNDBITE: (German) Sami Khedira, Germany midfielder
"We've been focusing entirely on the upcoming match against Greece as we've already seen a couple of matches end surprisingly. The Greek team is very good and vastly underrated. We are going to be very focused and cautious. We don't think much about the matches ahead of us. I think it's also too early to talk about finals. We performed very well in the first three matches and we have to make another step. If we get to the semi-finals, we can confront England, Italy or Spain. They are all very good teams. But what matters now is the match with Greece."

"Now we are focused on Greece. The pressure is huge. We've been analysing their playing style during our training sessions and we've been trying to figure out how to play against them effectively."
