Germany vs Spain: Who will win it all?
Well here it is, after almost a month of total football, we have finally reached the pinnacle of it all. This sunday pits two European heavyweights, Germany and Spain, for the right to be crowned Champions of Europe!My unequivocal support for Spain has been known and i am ecstastic for them to be in the final. The second half against Russia, was simply beautiful to watch (though Torres had a shocker of a game). Now, for my unbiased preview on who will win it all!
Germany: Almost seem to have the knack of going through in knockout competitions, they look stronger game by game. However, they almost lost the semi-final against Turkey. After changing the formation after the 2nd game, they look more dangerous going forward as Podolski and Klose are paired upfront while Bastian Schweinsteiger played on the left and just couldn't stop scoring.
The only weakness i see from them is from their goalkeeper, the ever eccentric Jens Lehmann and also their slow moving centreback pairing of Metersacker and Metzelder.
Man-to-watch: Bastian Schweinsteiger
Spain: They play fluid, counter-attacking football.... which is a joy to watch! With Senna doing all the donkey work in midfield, the likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Silva,Fabregas and Torres are able to interchange positions and play an almost free-role in attack. It's such a shame that David Villa is ruled out of the final because of a muscle injury. However, it could be a blessing in disguise as Fabregas (who took his place in the semi) was simple running the show for Spain.
The weakness i see from this team are their fullbacks; Sergio Ramos is awesome going forward but his defending is suspect at times (he was torn to shreds by a mediocre Swedish team!) and Capdevila is well, he's Capdevila! You don't know what to expect from him (more of a midfielder than a fullback to tell you the truth)
Man-to-watch: Cesc Fabregas
So we, at The Shenangianz Post, has set up a poll. Let's vote on who you think will win it all in Austria come Monday morning..... Btw I'm going for Spain ;)
