Jake Humphrey and guests look back at the last seven days of action at Euro 2008 and look ahead to the forthcoming games, as the knockout stages continue.
By now, fans will know which two teams will meet in the first semi-final, which takes place next Wednesday. The other two quarter-finals take place over the course of this weekend with a place in Thursday's semi at stake.
England suffered quarter-final heartache four years ago, in Portugal, losing on penalties to the hosts. But the biggest shock of the round was Greece's 1-0 win over defending champions France. It proved no flash in the pan as the Greeks went on to win the tournament.

Sue Barker hosts coverage of the final at the International Women's Open at Devonshire Park, Eastbourne.
With Wimbledon starting on Monday, today's match represents a last chance for some valuable match practice on grass. The top-quality field – which included Ana Ivanovic, Amelie Mauresmo and Lindsay Davenport – will all be hoping they are still in contention at the south coast resort.
Today's winner will join a roll of honour that includes the likes of Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Tracy Austin and Justine Henin. There is also the additional honour of being the last champion of the tournament in its present format. From next year, a men's event will also be held alongside the women's tournament.
Please note: Tennis – Eastbourne, on BBC Two, on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 June, is not live, as previously billed in Week 25 BBC TV Programme Information.
