Spain - What am I not understanding?

Just like always, a team which have a lot of big names and should be good, but underperform, their odds doesn't increase. Because even if they don't impress, they do keep moving on. And they'll show their true talent soon enough... or that's what the bookies want you to believe, so suckers can go big on teams like Brazil,

I have been wondering the same thing. Germany have looked WAY more impressive to me than Spain. I don't have any idea why Spain is supposedly a favorite. I would unload your money on Die Mannschaft!!!

because bookies try to trick u ...stick with German....Del Bosque is suck....so stubborn....Spain european champion with Aragones not Del Bosque....

They're favorite because Spain will dominate possession, but some of us know that hasn't worked unless Villa pulls a 1 goal win.

I ask this question from a very novice point of view.

It seems that Spain has not played up to their supposed ability and that Germany has performed at least up to if not better than their ability.

even in 2002 with Figo,Zidan,Raul,Roberto Carlos...Del Bosque played defensively with a very safe tactic.

it's not agreable for the eye,but there is a solid logic.

Del Bosque's players (Real M or Spain) are better than it's opponents.
Why risk with an open play strategy where the LUCK can play a big role?
How many matches we watched where shots on goal are 12-4,but
the better team doesn't win?

and these are eliminations,not a championship,where you can play openly.

They can be beat. If not for that one goal bt villa it could have been paraguay in the semis instead

Germany wins it all

Germany or Holland. We will see. Spain can win it only with penalties. They cant score more then 1 goal against Germany or Holland. And if their opponent scores, draw is best what Spain can get!
