World Cup – Semi #2

Germany 0 – Spain 1

While the score was tight, Spain was the better team from start to finish. Spain was consistently threatening, while Germany only generated a few chances. Spanish goalie iker Casillas was only troubled a couple of times. Spain held possession for relatively long stretches, and then took it back quickly. Spain controlled the midfield, and also took away the German long balls and counter-attack. Basically, the Germans played scared, which was very surprising.
