*** Official World Cup 2010 Semi-Final Thread: Spain v Germany ***

[Simon Morgan]

There's only one player in the current Spanish line up (Joan Capdevila) who doesn't play for either Barcelona (Puyol, Pique, Pedro, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Busquets) or Real Madrid (Casillas, Alonso, Ramos), which just shows again how utterly dominant those two are in Spanish football.

Capdevilla's Villareal, right? I still think Germany will nick this, perhaps in ET.

Come on Germany, that £50 I'd get from the NSC sweepstake would come in handy.

There was the punt between the two Spanish central defenders. The cross was not accurate enough though.

I LOVE games like this - 2 quality sides a little edgy because they know they'll be punished if they slip up... the chances mean so much more when they come.

I can't get away from the feeling that the Germans will nick it 1-0 on the break...

Yay!!! 1-0 Spain!

 

[perseus]

Spain 1 Germany 0

 

[Frutos]

Capdevilla's Villareal, right?

Yup.

Of course Villa hasn't actually played for Barca yet.

Puyol scores, 1-0 to Spain. Bullet of a header.

 

[The Wizard]

Oh dear. Poor defending. Good header though!!

Now is the time to have a team that doesn't give away possession.
