If the final is anything other than Holland vs Germany, I'll be absolutely stunned......
Based on current form, Germany will tear Spain apart, and Holland will just barely defeat Uruguay.
If Spain has half a brain, they would watch the video of Germany vs Argentina again and again to try to counter Germany's strategies.
Maybe spain can play dirty to get into final?
dun forget spain beat germany at euro 2008
spain must study germany strategies and find their weakness even though must sacrifice some fluent soccer. are they prepare to do that??
sorry spain i can t tell you how to beat germany. the next best thing is to ask serbia!!
Germany !!!!
Semi final, no team will want to play an open games.
Very tight marking especially the defence.
Spain will panick and german will attack.
winning of serbia is because they had their erm.. best player klose.. send off..
dont think that would happen.. again.. haha
its all down to spains defence...Midfield shouldnt be a problem.
can paul the octopus predict refree keylong? if nothing unusual happens, germany should win. why? cos spain's goals so far are always coming in through the middle. no set piece goals, no header goals yet. Base on this I think they have no chance against the germans .
if german get an early goal....just like against argentina...spain will be doom.
tough game to predict man. spain is a team i supported since years ago. but judging from their current form not easy to get a win against the germans. the germans are hot on form and can do the unexpected to even win the wc.
yes..whoever got the first goal...very likely will win... becos germany are best at counter attack...so if u concede 1... they will all park bus n wait for u to attack.. then launch a counter.. thats how england n argentina got whack...
The way german counter attack very very fast and accurate....very scary....imagine spore vs german....and german counter attack...wow, at least 10 : 0. hahahaha
spain midfield still strong...n many providing the run n passes...just that the finish n shot not good enough to convert more goals. if they can improve on this.. germany would have a tough time.

Yeah.. if Germany scored 1st... you will probably have 10 defenders....
Once... there is a breakaway... 10 defenders beCUM 10 strikers.... maybe.. 11.. even goalie wants a pie...
Spain achilles heel is their over exposed defense.. With Ramos pushing so high up the flanks to provide width support, and Germany being such a clinical counter attacking team, it is the perfect counter to Spain's weakness.
Spain's strong point is their short passing and off the ball movement, but the German's midfield and defense line is pretty solid and will be hard to go through, Torres really needs to prove himself now because Villa will be tightly marked.
Germany will probably limit Xavi's time on the ball so Spain might find it tough, and Pique is just a weak link.
germany last world cup steam rolled past every opponents until encounter a epic defensive team call italy. now italy is out...
i dont trust germany keeper...
i believe villa can hit it in if he manage to get a shot. hmm hmm.

Yes italy, king of defence. master of defence.
yes pique really fail.. and he cant run! its always puyol running back n chasing... pique is goddamn slow.. spain midfield..is stronger than germany so i think is ok..but once ball pass them...spain def.. is terrible.. see portugal n para match know liao..
if spain can play like how they did in euro2008, i think they can win, afterall they got the experience needed in almost aspect on the field. but football matters are always hard to predict, the ball is round.

ya, i hope the spanish team can do it. seldom teams can have a squad of that level of quality.
Speed do matter the outcome of the game.
Even if a team was very experience, if dont have the lighting speed, also useless.
