Pedro is doing well so far.  More involved than Torres anyway.

One of the worst games of the whole tournament...par for the course for Spain.  God help us if they are in the final against Holland...will be a complete borefest

3000 passes around the half way line and afraid to get people in the box in case they're hit on the break.

the more the game goes on the more I hope Germany wins.

RTE = Spain love-in

They're the arsenal of the world cup. Pass, pass pass and go nowhere.

I can see Germany sneaking it at present.

In fairness they won Euro '08 playing that way.

I've a feeling spain will sneak a goal, probably when the germans doze off.

Dunphy says Khedira is "cheating"

Would someone tell Billo Gilesy etc, yes, it was foul but outside the box therefore not a penalty!!

Around midnight...

26 minutes without a foul.

I'm bored.

[imtommygunn]

How was he cheating either...

Turned over after their rubbish.

Considering all the players spain have they are extremely conservative. Teams who play like that usually get stung. I don't mind either way but a germany goal would maybe make them go at it and liven this game up!

[Schkite]

Hope to God this half is better, though I won't hold my breath.

I'm shouting for Germany here, will make a better final than Spain would I think. There should be no shortage of motivation, especially not for Schweinsteiger - just seen this video earlier of his post-match interview after the Euro 2008 final, the Spain team celebrating behind him! Talk about rubbing it in!

Not entirely. They'd a bit more up front with torres in a bit of form.

The possession stats would make for interesting reading. Must be at least 70-30 to Spain? Hope Spain get a winner here.
