Germany vs Spain

[Mr Blob]

Germany 3 Spain 1

after winning the Eurovision, they win today again!

 

[Badgers]

Looking forward to this one.
Don't want the cup to be over now though

 

[Shreddy]

Jesus. Listen to that German National Anthem. They actually are perfect.

 

[Sesquipedalian]

Predictions? I think Spain are going to shade Germany in this one. I don't think Spain are going to defend like the English or the Australians, and I think the Spanish possession game will frustrate the German midfielders.

Durban is already abuzz in anticipation of this clash. There's going to be one big party here on Wed night!

Ole!

Germany 2 Spain 3.

@the intruder, what a twat.

That pitch invader being ran off by the stewards at exactly the same speed he ran on at was class - they kept the speed up even after the hoardings.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I like Schweinsteiger - he's been a good player throughout the tournament

 

[TrippyLondoner]

have germany touched the ball yet?

 

[belboid]

a very enjoyable first ten mins

 

[tarannau]

I stand to win £40 from the pub sweepstake if Spain win tonight, £80 if they win the whole shaboodle. And it's against the Germans; it's not particularly difficult to find myself cheering one way. It's going alright so far - let's see how the Germans react to some pressure early on.

Blimey, the Spanish ain't 'alf starting brightly.

 

[agricola]

Has tiki-taka been rediscovered?

 

[TruXta]

DAMN!

 

[editor]

The Psychic Octopus might be on to something here.

The Psychic Octopus might be on to something here.

Its gonna go to extra time first though.

 

[TruXta]

That said the Germans don't look like mugs.

 

[Dandred]

Spain not letting the Germans settle....

 

[Dandred]

Its gonna go to extra time first though.

Penalties!!

 

[Dandred]

Germany may lose this, they are playing way to cagey

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Penalties!!

or that, the octopus did take its time moving back over to spain.

With garlic butter and kraut! When it goes back to Spain

 

[Combustible]

Despite Spain having a bit more control in midfield they do look a bit vulnerable at the back.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

wtf@ the picture faults

 

[Brixton Hatter]

For all their technical proficiency, Spain are boring as fuck. Pass, pass, pass, nothing. No getting lots of men forward, no getting in the box - it's like watching a really poor Arsenal. And it reminds me of 2006 when the worst team ever won the World Cup - by defending their way to the title. Now Spain are trying to pass the world into submission.

At least the Germans look good going forward - that's exciting, like how football should be. Come on the Germans!

 

[Dandred]

Tense first half really......

But quite boring too......

 

[skyscraper101]

Hope Germany win, if only for a Germany v Holland final.

 

[TruXta]

Bring out the fireworks, dammit! Bit boring so far, or "absorbing" as the tits on BBC like to call it.

I dunno, havent found it boring but then ive had some beer + whiskey so found it intriguing.

 

[Dandred]

Tense, yet boring
