Script:
There is a growing confidence among German fans.
Not that there has been any reason not to be so far with the national team's performance at Euro 2012.
Top of their group with all nine points possible.
Into the quarter-finals where they played Greece.
A match with political overtones.
The Greek economy imploding and Germany insisting on deep austerity measures in return for bailout funds.
Greek fans may have been hoping for a victory on the football field, but it was the German fans who were happiest.
Their team beating Greece 4-2.
The seemingly unstoppable Germans heading ominously for the semi-finals.
Jubilation for the around 400,000 fans who turned out to watch the game in Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
