Today's semi-final between Germany and Spain was going to be one of the greatest sporting spectacles to have ever been seen. Two of the top teams in the world, coming head-to-head with their strong attacks. But, as we have found with this World Cup, the shocks only come with the 'lesser' teams...It was a game like a relay - one team would take the attacking baton, before handing it to the other, and then do it all over again. It took a while for both teams to get into their stride, and the counter attacking was some of the best we've seen. Ozil and Villa played blinders for the teams, and it just clicked. Come half time though, and it was still half time, and no-one was sure which way it would go. I actually wanted Germany, seeing as they've played the better football.
It took till the 73rd minute before we found out what would happen. The corner came in, and Spanish captain Carlos Puyol bulleted the ball into the net with a great header, to make it 1-0. And that's just how it stayed. Spain reach their first ever World Cup final, and whoever wins the trophy come Sunday, there will be a new name on it, seeing as neither team have ever won the tournament before.
