Who do you want to win tomorrow. I hoping Germany wins, but without Ballack I don’t think they’ll have much of a chance against Spain.

“Who do you want to win tomorrow. I hoping Germany wins, but without Ballack I don’t think they’ll have much of a chance against Spain.”

- I'll celebrate whoever wins. My father and I will watch the game together and we've bought both German and Spanish wine as we both admire these great nations in the area of football/soccer and many others!

The Germans are a very disciplined squad and like always, they've proved in this championship that they are exceptionally good at “reading” their opponents. But perhaps they are a bit too slow?

Spain has a complete team. Strikers like Villa and Torres, Midfielders like Fàbregas, Silva, Xavi and so on and so on, defenders like Puyol and Ramos and behind it all; Casillas.
However, I suspect Spain will have too much of respect for the German well-organized football orchestra and neglect to lend an ear to what is their prime strength, namely the combination of speed and skill. Trying to outsmart and out-german Germany won't work.

My gut feeling tells me Germany will win. But if Spain becomes European champions (for the first time since 1964) I'd say they really deserve it, they have played with great self confidence.
