26min and 0 fouls on both sides. pretty amazing

Damnit! Germany just keeps giving up that ball in the midfield from bad touches and mis-passes.

Give Spain some credit for keeping the ball for the most part.

Go spain, beat those nazis

Certainly...Spain's passing is dominating, as HumblePie predicted. I just think Germany is making mistakes they really shouldn't.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

They are really feeling the lack of Muller in the midfield... But then again, its better that he is absent now than the final

 

[paulney]

Lets go manbearpigs! Or rather tigerpigs!

 

[Gooberlx2]

yikes! where was the defense through all that?

 

[sunzt]

man germany should be up already but the ref missed that penalty in the box. 1st half was boring... spain's play style is boring...

 

[bigrash]

C'mon Spain. So close!

 

[Dominato3r]

Spain is playing so well, I hope they don't lose to some BS penalty shootout

 

[Dominato3r]

What a save!

 

[bigrash]

Nice save!

 

[Blackjack200]

Wow, Germany's attacks happen quick.

 

[ElFenix]

Spain!

 

[Gooberlx2]

Augh Spanish goal on a nice header!

 

[bigrash]

Hell yeah!

 

[Dominato3r]

Spain is amazing.

 

[Blackjack200]

So I guess we can expect the rest of the half to be played in Spain's end with the occasional through ball to Villa as the counter attack?

Edit: Or not, as Torres comes on for Villa in the 80th minute. Lol

Spain deserves to win. Germany got totally outplayed.

Kind of a deja-vu game, Euro 2008 final was the same - not very eventfull with Spain controlling the ball a lot, also won by Spain 1:0, so far looks like a repeat. I want NED-ESP final though, nothing against Germans, but neither NED, ESP had ever won a WC, Germans already have 3 titles. Really don't care who wins between ESP, NED.

Not anymore...maybe they subbed him to save him from possible injury? He didn't really seem tired.

I feel the same way, I'm not specifically pulling for Spain but I want someone new to win it.

Yup, had to edit my post. Maybe they're trying to protect him from injury? Doesn't make much sense to me...

Germany did get outplayed this match. I'd call them hacks, but that would just be my Argentina bias.
