Spain vs. Germany---first team to score is gonna win barring a miracle,unlucky goal or something. book it.

brazil disagrees

I predicted Spain over Holland in the final before the cup started, but Germany is looking unbeatable right now.

That's because Germany IS unbeatable. If Spain doesn't play how they should be playing, it's going to be an easy match for Germany. I expect a Germany/Nederlands championship match.

And Ghana... No rule change, it's part of the game. Not to mention that when you keep attacking to get that first goal, you put your team at risk for a counter attack.
Love how Germany is playing, thought Argentina was going to put up a fight at least. Teamwork, young team and uptempo, how can anyone root against Germany?

Germany is going to take the championship. They have one of the two best 11 man defenses in the world along with Spain, but their midfield - despite everything I've thought and expected before - looks like the best in the world right now. Schweinsteiger and Özil play like they're already some of the best creative midfielders in all of soccer, Müller and Podolski are on a major run themselves. Klose looks like a man on a mission again.
this team not only has the same spirit and overwhelming defense as the surprising team of four years ago, it now also has one of the world's best creative midfields. Add Klose's killer instinct and you're looking at the future world champion. I thought it was going to be Spain, but they will get beat. It is amazing how those young players evolved, so much fun.

The only time I have seen that Robinho write the future commercial was after Brazil was eliminated..lol

I want Uruguay to win this but with Suarez out, and other players out I don't think they get past the Dutch. I'm hoping for Germany to put away Espana so we can add another chapter into the rivalry of the Germany vs. The Netherlands.

SPAIN WINS! :rocking:

Wow, congrats Spain!!!!!!

So glad to see Germany fall finally

I'm tempted to root for Spain if not for intra-European issues and the enjoyable storyline where they always fall short.

I'm leaning toward holland at this point
