Spain 3-0 Russia.
i expected more from Russia. they really lacked any creativity. their weak defense was the problem though. Russia cant defend, and a team like Spain who have really good movement upfront jus cause them too many problems. Russia beat Holland cause Hiddink knew all there was to know about Holland. same cant be said against Spain.
My prediction for the final is that Germany will win. Dnt look at Germany's performance against Turkey. Even though we had our F team on the pitch we match up really well against the Germans. We cancelled out there best player in Ballack. all credit to Aurelio for making Ballack look less than ordinary.
Spain are like Portugal, they are a small team without much strength. They dnt have that defensive midfielder who is capable enough to shut down Ballack. But, they do have the attacking strength to easily get by the 2 very poor German centre-backs. Frings will be important, he protects them 2. when they dnt have him Germany are vunerable. Another thing is, i think Spain are actually better with Guiza and Silva upfront. Villa and Torres have had one good game this tournament. it looks like Villa will miss the final anyways.
