Punters have abandoned Turkey to jump on the German bandwagon ahead of their Euro 2008, Ladbrokes said yesterday.

Fatih Terim's men made the last four after a series of terrific comebacks against Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Croatia.

But the paying public reckon their luck may have finally run out after being hit by a long list of injuries and suspensions.

Ladbrokes spokesman Robin Hutchison said: "We've taken less than £5,000 on Turkey to win in comparison to over £100,000 on Germany so far - one way traffic doesn't describe it.

"The punters got their fingers burnt by the draws in the quarter-finals but they reckon there's a good chance they can buy their money back. We're desperate to get out of the way of the German juggernaut."

Joachim Low's men are now 2/5 for victory in 90 minutes, after initially being chalked up at 1/2, and as short as 1/6 to qualify for the final.

They are 3/1 to score three or more goals and 3/1 to enjoy more than 66% of possession during the game.

Ladbrokes are also offering 6/4 that their game is the highest scoring semi-final and 11/10 that they score more goals than the other three nations competing.

The firm will be betting in play on who will qualify from each semi-final during both games as well as who will win the tournament.
