Germany has looked strong during South Africa 2010; strong enough that many are fully expecting a battle of bordering nations in a Germany-Netherlands final.
You have a German squad seemingly bull-dozing the competition and a Spain squad seemingly underperforming their pre-tournament buzz.
However, there are reasons to think Spain will come up on top in today’s World Cup battle.
Spain was considered the pre tournament co-favorites with Brazil for a reason. World class players fill the entire lineup and bench. Spain has experience in goal with the veteran Iker Casillas, who has played well and brings a steadiness to the position most needed in these contests. David Villa's goal scoring and his ability to create chances have propelled the ESP on offense, while their back four can play with anyone in the world.
Meanwhile, Germany will have its challenges. The biggest of which is playing with the expectations now being shifted upon their shoulders. This is the perfect spot for a let down game. They must replace the suspended Thomas Mueller, the fourth cog in the midfield machine, while Spain remains at full strength. Go with Spain today in a monumental clash of soccer at its finest.
