Carles Puyol’s header in the 72nd minute powered Spain past Germany and into its first-ever World Cup final. The score is 1-0.
This is the last game before the World Cup 2010 Finals. The winner of this Germany vs Spain match will meet Netherlands on Sunday in a game that will put the whole world in a stand still. The match starts at 20:30 local time and will be held in Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban, South Africa.
Not many had high expectations for the Germans. Most assumed that this young team would just gather experience in an elite tournament and then gracefully exit the tournament sometime between the quarterfinals and round of 16. But that never happened. In contrast, they amazed the world with their strong counter-attacks that enabled them to score 4 goals in a match 3 times. One against Australia, another against England and against Argentina.
Germany also has one of the best strikers in the tournament in Miroslav Klose with 4 goals so far out of 14 World Cup goals. Another 1 and he equals superstar Ronaldo of Brazil. Here is what he had to say:
“I spoke with Ronaldo after the [2002 World Cup] final. At that time, I’d have never dreamed of coming this close to his record, with just two more goals to surpass him. I hope he is not too worried.”
While the Germans have youth and strong counter-attacks, the Spanish have experience and calculated super-strikes. They have already been there and done that against the Germans 2 years back in the Euro 2008 in which they won 1-0. All they have to do now is muster that experience and let it flow in this upcoming game.
The Germans will shock (or not) the world by beating the Spanish in the likes of 4-1 or 4-2.
The two sides are almost of equal strength. The team that makes even the smallest mistake will lose.
