2010 FIFA World Cup Semis Preview.



Who's hot, who's not? Germany face Spain. Bundesliga versus La Liga? Clinical finishing beats Efficiency? Youth conquers Experience? Speed stops Patience? The Super Germany machines (I love those tjoo) or the Spanish fighting bulls?

The South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup is climaxing. Forget about Brazil and Argentina who came to the World Cup without coaches. Administration of football needs people with heads. They must employ coaches to coaching jobs. We will not waste time trying to see why Argentina lost.

Going into the semi-final within a few days, it has been fiesta football of 52 matches so far, only 4 to go. Germany has been rampant at this 2010 FIFA World Cup. Twice they beat teams for 4 without reply, representing a class of clinical finishing. Spain have not done much but just enough to get the result. They worked as much as they needed to. That is efficient enough, without wasting extra energy on luxury.  

Germany are full of running and energy because they are young. They delight in offensive and precise football. They are an organised but grafting lot. Spain players are old and experienced. They cover the right spots on the field. They have played at high levels year in year out.

The hard running of Podolski, Shweinsteiger, and Klose can be a handsome to many a defence. They become uncontainable. Pique and Puyol will have their job cut for them. Xavi, Xavi Alonso, Iniesta are wise men. They dictate the pace of the game with so much patience and composure. They are complimented by the support of Cape DeVilla and David Villa.

Germany's love for quality and class can be seen in the luxury cars they make, and I love those cars. Spain have the bull-fighting spirit they always have on the streets. Will it be enough to see them in the final?
