Have to say the Spanish have done a great job of snuffing out Oezil, Schwinesteiger and Klose.

A bit disappointing that Germany never really got their counter attack going. Still Spain stuck to their game plan, I'd rather see the Germans in the final for excitement, but maybe Spain will find their goal scoring boots for the final?

Fucking undeserved if you look over the entire tournament

1 or perhabs 2 goals in each game and now they're in the fucking final. I can't believe this shit. Spain was better on the day, aber Die Deutsche Mannschaft has been playing way better than Spain the last couple of games

I'm fucking furious atm!

Spain this tournament have bored me with ridiculously good passing that goes nowhere. In 2008 they had end product, that's missing now.

Tbh, the Spanish schooled the Germans, they just couldn't handle it.

If the Spanish could actually shoot that game would have been really 1 sided.


I think the Dutch will be messy and look like foolish versus Spain but will score goals and not dick around.

Germany has played very well, but the Spanish team whiped the fucking floor with them, so totally deserved imo.

Some people must have been watching a different game, Germany play on the counter, they are set up to absorb pressure. Spain keeping the ball was not schooling them, they were both playing their natural game.

Thought taking Boateng off was a mistake, the defence seemed unstable after that sub. Podolski and Ozil wasted a lot of passes early on.

I don't know, I watched a game where the Germans had 2 shots on goal in 90 minutes.

Well played by the spanish team that - for the first time in this WC - showed it´s class and qualities. Germany played shaky, out of focus and never managed to get any control over the game. Great match and a desrved win for Spain.

Congrats and good luck in the finals.

Spain managed to make passing football fucking boring, that's a real achievement tbh.

They are simply the best at this sort of play and its damn effective. Even germany couln't do anything against it.

Spain showed why they are the number 1 country in the world.

To restrict the form team who have scored 8 in their last 2 games to just one shot shows they mean business

I rly dunno what ppl expect them to do vs Germany. Score 4 goals and at the same time retain their playstle?

Iirc ive counted like 10 or so shots from Spain and only 3 from germany. If anything, i'd be critic with the lack of definition from the spaniard squad: its mainly Villa the only one scoring.

Anyhoo, the final should have been yesterday's match. Bring it on Netherlands!!

Spain:
very effective, boring as hell.

On a personal note,
I achived staying a wake this time, although it was close around 50mins into the game.

Germany play with a narrow defense meaning people have to either shoot from range (only a couple of people can score from range using this stupid ball) or cross it. Spain have missed all their long shots? and have small strikers/midfielders so Germany made it very hard for them (and many other teams).

I would have preferred Germany to go through as Spain are boring to watch when the opposition is 1/2 decent.

Or maybe, just maybe, up until the germany game he was having a good tournament. He wont win it, but not many players have actually stood out and he deserves to be in the top 10.

Schweinsteiger will win it
