Does anyone have a link to watch this online, I've been statched up with having to work late.

I am searching but can't find one that works yet

scratch that, found one

Germany just need to pop the shots in at goal as Casillas has looked nervous all tournement. Lahm versus Villa could be what decides the game though.

Casillas is flapping at crosses.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Nope... Spainsdefenbce looks ready to crack wide open anytime

 

[Lady Whistledown]

There is a quite SPECTACULAR moustache on show behind Thomas Müller's seat in the crowd

Amazing how top level referees allow foul throws.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Casillas has looked nervous all tournament. Two very good teams.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Get up you big Polish girl.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Is it just me, or have neither of these games really felt like World Cup semi finals?

Something to do with the atmosphere I think, it just doesn't feel right.

 

[Bigtomfu]

It all feels a little bit like an exhibition.

Would expect a German Panzer-esque finish in extra time with the Spanish claiming they were robbed.


Never appreciated how dirty Ramos was before that challenge either. Dirt.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

First proper save of the game from Casillas

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Tonights does. These are two top teams sizing each other up.

I love the way the Germans (Ozil in particular) has the ability to roll the ball in front of players running at pace. Just into their stride. So easy.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

What's with all this nice precise passing and moving? Cant they rush around and smash into each other like in the Prem?

 

[perseus]

Its a fascinating match. 0-0 HT.

Yes because no-one wants to see a high-tempo pressing game.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Shearer is an idiot.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Its a fascinating match. 0-0 HT.

I agree.

 

[perseus]

There is still the option for a pressing game. And will there be any changes at the break? Podolski could be replaced? There is a hole in Spanish right side but Podolski's passes have been just off.

I would like in decided in ninety minutes. It is like a FA Cup Final. Nothing much happens for a long time, and then .............

[Dick Knights Mumm]

When Spain are attacking it looks a bit like the U16's playing the U18's.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Doesn't look to be Alonso's night for shooting...

 

[perseus]

Boeteng mystified at his substitution. He may now think he is going to miss the World Cup Final. I can't understand it either. It looks like a forward for a defender.

Marcell Jansen is a more attacking player. I thought he was a striker when I wrote the above.
