We watched being video this FIFA World Cup 2010: Germany vs. Spain Semifinal Preview and Predictions
Germany and Spain go head to head in the second Semi Final of the World Cup in, quite possibly, the most anticipated match of the tournament, and a rematch of the Final at Euro 2008, which Spain won 1-0.
Germany vs. Spain
Die Mannschaft have scored more goals than any other team in this tournament, while Spain have had more possession than any other team, meaning that this game could be a classic.

Die Mannschaft came through World Cup qualification unbeaten, having pulled off a real coup by beating Russia both home and away.
The nucleus of this current team comes from two different but combined parts, Bayern Munich and their highly successful U-21 team.
Joachim Loew has built a side that possesses all the old German tools of pragmatism, organisation, and functionality.
However, this time around he has built upon Jurgen Klinsmann's, the previous German manager, attacking policies and instilled a certain flair that past sides have never had.
He has also rejuvenated the squad by bringing in some much needed youth, making this current squad the youngest German team since 1930.
They use a highly flexible and mobile 4-5-1 formation which can become a 4-3-3 as quick as a flash, and is one of their main weapons when counter attacking at speed.
Thomas Muller and Lukas Podolski provide the pace and power on the flanks, although the free scoring Muller will be suspended for the clash against Spain.
His replacement will shape the rest of the team, as there is no direct cover for him, Marko Marin, or possibly Cacau may come in.
Sami Khedira, Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Mesuit Ozil form the central partnership, and are the axis upon which Germany turn.
They cover from each other and work in telepathic tandem and provide the team with a great energy as they attack and defend as a unit.
