    I want Germany to win but I think Spain will sneak it - going for 1-1 at FT and 1-2 Spain AET.

    Apparently Pedro will start ahead of Torres and I think that will change the way Spain play - fancy him to get 1st goal.

    One has to admire the tenancity of a nation that can claw it's way back to global eminence after those two bad defeats by Hearts, but Spain are due a proper World Cup performance and this will be it. The only way I can see Grrmany winning is if they get an early first goal and punish a pressing Spain with their pace on the counter. Otherwise I predict Spain 3-1.

    Think Germany will take revenge on Spain this evening. Pity Müller's not playing, but Löw will have his youngsters well prepared - this team spirit and belief is immense - Germany's had a great tournament and the guys will not falter now in the semis, when the final is beckoning.
    As to Paul - octopuses ain't what they used to be, what does he know!
    Here's to a good game!
    4-1 Germany!

    I hope the Germans win tonight, they have been, by far, the most impressive side that I have seen so far and the way that they have destroyed England and Argentina has been excellent.

    In Klose and Podolski they have a great partnership up front and two proven goalscorers at international level.

    Spain are probably more technically gifted, particularly in the midfield area but with the exception of Villa, I haven't been impressed at all. Torres looks particularly well off the pace and they are really carrying a passenger with him at the moment.

    I'll go for 3-1 Germany.

    Germany have probably developed more of a reputation for flair football than Spain as this tournament has gone on. I just feel that if Spain can score first then Germany will be facing a very different type of game for their last couple. I see it as pretty much 50/50 but I think the added expectations on the Germans shoulders might tilit it Spain's way.

    Totally agree but he is not starting. Iniesta on the right and Pedro on the left to support Villa apparently.

    Pedro is 14s in Laddies shops for 1st scorer, only 8s on the net.

    Germany for me tonight. I'd love to see Klose get his 14th world cup goal tonight. In fact I'd like to see the Germans win the tournament as a whole.

    Really cagey game so far. I can't believe how deep the Germans are sitting when they don't have the ball.

    It really needs a goal from someone to get things going

    Much as I expected so far. Was expecting a tight low scoring game.

    Spain are playing the 'sexiest' football but the German 'rhythm method' might be too much for the Spaniards. I still fancy the Germans.

    ... but so far it's all foreplay and no sign of fulfilment.

    That can be so frustrating.

    Spain score British Goal!

    Good. Might shut the scornful commentators up about Spain's "pretty passing".

    Spain have been superb and deserve to win.

    Will be good to have 2 teams in the final who have never won it.
