Spain made their way to the final of the biggest football party in the world.
They beat Germany last night with just 1-0 by Carlos Puyol goal.
That's actually out of many prediction. Spain is big team, but they're not as beautiful high skill game play like Germany had showed. But they prove it. Prove that they're strong team, even stronger than Germany. They could lock Germany. Made Germany can't do anything. Spain controlled the games.
Germany coach Joachim Loew hailed Spain as
masters of the football universe and expressed confidence that they would beat the Netherlands in Sunday's World Cup final. (www.soccerway.com)
Joachim Low, Germany coach, said"All credit to the Spanish. They've been the best team around in the last two or three years, and I think they'll win the tournament. They're just such good footballers, and that showed up our current limitations today. They stifled us in certain areas, and we were never able to break free. Their passing game is so good, you spend practically all your time just chasing the ball. We were unable to win possession in the key areas which would have allowed us to switch from defence to attack at speed. Overall, my young team has had a magnificent tournament, but it's not worked out the way we wanted it today. It's a shame, we're sad, and we're all disappointed, but at the end of the day, Spain were terrific."(www.fifa.com)
Yes, they are..
vicente del bosque, Spain coach, said
"We will not be blinded by success. We will enjoy this and tomorrow we start preparing for the final."We looked to win the ball and keep it for the entire match and the players have done their job in a magnificent way,"(www.soccerway.com)
All Germany supporters must be very disappointed of it. But they should confess it. Germany still has another chance. they will face Uruguay for the 3rd place on Saturday.
Here some quotes from Germany player:
Marcell Jansen, Germany defender
That was a completely different game compared to Argentina. Spain's organisation and tactics are in a different league. When they attack, the whole team comes forward, and when they defend, they all work together to keep it tight. We knew we'd have to be patient, and we resisted the pressure for as long as possible, but Spain were the better team today. We might have tried taking a few more risks, but ultimately we've come up a little bit short.
Manuel Neuer, Germany keeper
We're very, very disappointed at the moment. But we know we've had a good tournament. We didn't show enough attacking intent today, and we failed to create enough chances. We didn't quite have the courage we needed today. We've scored before half-time in almost all our matches, which was always a boost to our confidence, but it was different today. Spain seized the initiative and created far more chances than we did.

David Villa, Spain forward, said
We're very happy and this was the best we've played so far this tournament. The bigger the challenge, the better we get, although we deserved to score more. We couldn't be happier and I thought Pedro had a great game. He'd been in the background until the Paraguay game but there's 23 of us and no matter who comes on, the team keeps playing to the same standard. We haven't achieved anything like this before but this team deserve everything that comes our way. It's not easy to get this far but we're hungry for more and we couldn't be happier at reaching the Final. That's what we came here for and now we want to go out and win it.
Yeah. we all knew, Spain is cohesive team. They support each other, close with each other players, and work together.
Though they'll face Netherlands, another strong team and has beautiful high skill game play like Germany who win against Uruguay 3-2 on the semifinal, it's not impossible Spain can win again if they work hard together..
Seriously, he always brings that smile. Everytime he takes picture with his fans he always gives that sweet smile. I've seen in every his pictures with his fans. That's why I love him. He's really frank to everyone. By the way, the boy who wear Spain shirt in the Photo above is cute. I think. lol
A pic above looks weird for me. Why? because he wears Brazil shirt. I don't know if there's a story or not behind his Brazil shirt. But I hope he doesn't one of Brazil supporters. Coz if he's Brazil supporter, with no doubt I'll tell him to better support his own country. Spain is great.. hehe
Look at to his pose..
