Stick to picking losers in Superbowl and BCS. You do not want to add soccer on your resume.

29/06/2008 VIENNA Kontinental-Finale

Germany 8 wins 6 draws 5 losses against Spain

In tourneys:
Germany 3 wins 1 draw 1 loss

Germany reached the Euro final for the 6th time. In the 5 previous finals Germany won 3 and lost 2 (72, 80, 96)

Germany will have their full squad available. Spain will be at least without Villa.

For my team: We are happy to play Spain in the final. Germany had a pretty bad game against Turkey but they survived. On the other hand Spain played a superb game against Russia. However Russia had no power and energy left.
Germany somehow has to handle the spanish midfield. During this tourney Germany playerd great against Poland, followed by a horrible performance against Croatia, bad against Austria, great against Portugal and horrible against Turkey. Especially Metzelder and Mertesacker had great problems in the d. I think playing against the Spanish side is easier for the team than playing against a fast attacking Russian team. Most of you favour Spain in this match but wait and see how a motivated German team will fight against Spain.

Andy ... u guys almost lost to a bench team ... If the turks would have had there squad 100% healthy ... it would've been a massacre result. I see Spain dominating midfield and taking more shots on gol vrs Germs.

Spain is much faster than Russia and has a much solid defensive team. Therefore I dont see Germany winning the finals.

However I do wish u the best bud!!

Spain beat Germany in 1966. I'm backing Spain off of these solid stats, how can this lose?
