Just so I understand. You're saying that Germany's defense and keeper are weak and that Spain will win even though Germany has scored 13 and given up only 2 and Spain has scored a woeful 6 goals in 5 games.
Spain was fortunate to advance past Paraguay and don't have the offence to score more than one goal against the Mannschaft. laugh Germany will shred Spain to ribbons with their passing.

I gotta agree with Ollie Spain certainly did not look anything like World Champions and the Germans while I hate to say it looks pretty lethal and would be hard pressed to bet against them.

I still gotta stick with Holland though due to familly connections smile
