    The Germans (although a young side) beat no-one, England were pathetic, Argentina haven’t got a clue about tactics and when they aren’t cruising in front they struggle to change their game plan so Spain didn’t have to do a lot and in watching the game it appeared that way, "football is a funny old game" but if there’s any justice in the world then the Dutch will be crowned champions.

    Any football fan who studies the game would have known that if Spain found anything near their true form ( they still haven’t yet :shock: ) then Germany minus the industrious Muller were in for a tough 90 minutes. Spain have the technically more gifted players. Germany had a game plan and willing workers. The gifted players and class prevailed. Simple.

    The final will be, for want of a better phrase, a different ball game. For one, Holland will come at the Spanish more than Germany did, and will test their full-backs more fully. I thought Pedro was Spain’s weak link against the Germans ( what a greedy, selfish sod ! :evil: ) and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Torres re-instated for the final.

    I have to stick with Spain. :)

    I too will applaud germany if they beat spain 2nite as germany have unfairly lost their cest player and are thus unfairly having 2 play 2nd choice players against a spanish side probably shouldnt even be there and who have a key player there who shouldnt be (pique). Spain have been a big disappointment 2 watch the whole world cup, and have had a few officials who have kept them in it. Now they go into the semis with what i see as an unfair advantage in being able 2 field their first team when the germans cannot. Like I say, if they make the finals i have no interest in watching as IMO it wont be a meeting of the two best teams but who the refs have favoured and who they have not. I also dont agree that they have played fair. When under pressure their last 2 games weve seen foul after foul on ronaldo (none of which were awarded to portugal), diving from villa at one end of the pitch and pique trying 2 pull cordozas arm out of its socket at the other. Not a team who i think deserve 2 be in the final, just my opinion, the best result would be that holland put a team that shouldnt be there in their place, the worst result would put me of ever watching another world cup. The full strength german side would demolish spain as they have everyone in this world cup when theyve had the full strength team.

    There were no complaints from the Germans at all.

    How could there be, anyway, when they hardly got a touch of the ball? Spain are light years ahead of Germany and most other teams in world football.

    They didn’t pulverise the best international teams europe has to offer in 2008 by being anything other than a supreme footballing outfit. They haven’t been at their best and they’ll add the world cup to that on Sunday.

    Go figure.

    :) I just hope they don’t freeze on the night, under a sea of oranje ( :wink: ) and a cacophony of vuvuzelas. :D
