Germany is making the same mistake as Portugal, by playing too defensive and letting Spain play pure Barcelona style.

They should try to disturb Spain much much more. It's not that hard to disturb Spain and get them confused.  Now it's just a matter of time before Spain scores.

That's exactly what I thought in the first half. In the second half Germany seemed a bit better, but now it's a very difficult uphill battle for them.

wont be too long now before iniesta and xavi start controlling the midfield , i guess it's over.



I'm so upset by the choice of German strategy. Didn't they watch Spain vs Portugal? Why didn't they just go out crash, boom, bang like in the other games? Instead of playin their own game that they're so great at they just followed the opponent.

You shouldn't change a winning formula.

Now it's all over.



Come on Spain, do not pull out a Netherlands and lose every opportunity to kill the game once and for all.

Because they don't have anyone that can do the long, fast transitions that Müller does. A lot of their game died in the midfield.
