Why do they?

Because they have been playing the better football, the better team, and i just really dont like the germans :shrug:

Germany have done enough to get to the final, but have looked less than impressive in most of there games, they looked good going forward against turkey, but not at the back.... over all Spain deserve it as during the whole tournement they have played the better football

Like Lineker said : Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.

My heart says Spain will win 3-1 but my head says Germany will win 2-1. Never write off the Germans they are big game players. Watching the other teams in the tournament has made me appreciate how shit England really are.

They were critisised for losing to Croatia and Russia. Both of which done pretty well for themselves.

Its how shit the managment play them, and get them to play as a team, i really do think England have some good players, just for the last god knows how long, they play as individuals and not a team!! lampard being the biggest **** of them all for that!

 

[Mullers]

I agree they don't play as a team and yes Croatia and Russia have done well for themselves but I think the expectations for England are too high. I look at the way other teams pass the ball and then look at the way England pass ball and they are shit. They can't keep possession, they have been that way for sometime. You talk about Lampard but I've seen Lampard have better and more affective games than Gerrard has. I'm very unimpressed by Gerrard's international form. I think poor Capello has his work cut out.

I would agree with most of that too, but Gerrad gets made to look poor because its normaly him having to change how he plays to fit in to how Lampard plays, to me Gerrard should play the exact same was as he does for Liverpool but with Lampard also liking to go forward Gerrard has normaly had to try and do a more holding job! to me the England team could do without Lampard but would strugle more without Gerrard.

With England not being in this one, the preasure might get harder for him, but expectations might come down if we do qualify at the next tournement, as people may now see there are teams that are vastly better than how we are just now!

My head says Germany because the Germans have a tendency to over come the odds. My heart says Germany because it would annoy all Arsenal fans that want Fabregas to win something and it would make Klinsmann happy to see his homeland win.

Germany seem to be causing Ramos and puyol alot of problems at the back so far

But the Germans have won their games without relying on penalties.

Goal for Spain!! Torres!

 

[Bonjour]

Great finish tbh.

 

[worcestersauce]

I said first game that Senna is a nasty piece of work who tries to damage people, he's carried that on through and that head butt on Ballack was deliberate.

No it wasnt, both players went for the ball, if ballack wasnt pushing him he woudlnt have got his head.... and ballack is alot worse anyway

I've got a tenner on Germany to win 2-1, with Torres the first scorer, at 80-1.

Let's hope they turn it around in the 2nd half...
