Euro 2012 Soccer: Germany dominates Greece 4-2, Germany rolls into semi-finals.

The Germans displayed their classic combination of power, speed and finesse against Greece. Also! Classic Humor. See Monty Python's "Greece v England" Philosopher Soccer Video :)

Germany rolls over Greeks in Gdansk, Poland.

Germany with their 4-2 win today over Greece advanced to the European Championship semi finals for a record seventh time.  

The Germans missed on many early opportunities, but their captain Phillip Lahm put the Germans ahead with one of the Germans quality goals today.

The Germans are playing very well as a team, and are starting to look like the tournament favorite.   They have many weapons, and one of their playmaking midfielders Mesut Ozil had a solid game for Germany.

Greece doesn't have to hang it's heads  They played well, and today were without captain Giorgos Karagounis.   But they were clearly overpowered today.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, a big soccer fan, made the trip for the match and stood to cheer every time her team scored.

I was just thinking, if you happen to see something.....like the sign in front of City Hall, or theRead More sign in Schnuck's parking lot....regarding something going on in Brentwood, now you can click on the "Post" board at the top of the page, and let people know what is happening in Brentwood. We have the new format so we can now post whatever we want. Just click and post. Anyone can do it too.

I doubt this discrepancy you think exists is because the editors have more of a connection toRead More Maplewood. I imagine it is because Maplewood officials and Chamber of Commerce members send press releases to the editors regarding upcoming events and news items. If you want your local community to have more of a presence in the Patch, I suggest you contact the proper officials in Brentwood and urge them to send such notices. Self-promotion for a community is a good thing, although in the case of Brentwood Days and other iconic Brentwood events, it was my understanding that the city didn't want it publicized and preferred it to be a smaller event.
