World Cup Semifinal #2: Germany - Spain

[Meho]

Still not impressed by Spain. Failed tactics from Germany, wtf were they thinking.

As I said before, Spain's Midfield > Argentina's midfield

Mascherano couldn't do everything by himself in Argentia, and in Spain you had Busquets and Xabi Alonso doing that role and even at times Xavi would come down to help.  Anytime Germany tried to pressure even a little, that quickly opened up the spaces for Iniesta and Xavi to give passes to Ramos or Pedro on the right or Villa in the center or left.  It was basically a Mayweather Jr. right lol.

Spain's fate would have been that of Argentina's if Germany scored from a fee kick 3 minutes in.

torres will score the winner in the final

Germany was able to get that free kick because they were already giving Otamendi trouble right from the start.  All of the goals came from that area.  So it wasn't like Germany got lucky to score that goal.  Plus, Spain's marking was great when it came to set pieces throughout the game.  Spain would have played the same way down a goal, they're not a team that disrupts their tactical scheme when losing.  That's one of the advantages for a team that has 60-65% of ball possession.  So I really doubt it would be the same as Argentina.

I thought Germany did exactly what they had to do vs Spain.  They showed fantastic defense, and had a few counters that could have been dangerous.  Any more pressing from Germany and Spain would have fucked them up.

Fuckin Trochowski should've never played. But Spain had more opportunities to score and if Pedro wasn't such an egoistic bastard (in this situation) they would've scored their second goal anyway. Whatever, Im still hoping for Netherlands to win their first title.

thank u lord for not letting germany win 


spain deserves their first title, it'll be a good memory of this generation of super star players, they won euro 08 now this would be icing on the cake

im not looking for stupid excuses, but without that unfair yellow for müller, things might have been really different. either way, spain deserved the win, im not complaining.
