SPAIN will win!
Why? Because they are very effective passing ball around. The ugly truth about this WC is that attacking players want to avoid injuries first rather than play well for their country; and to avoid getting injured means they try not to have the ball for too long while in the final third of the field otherwise the tackles come in. Therefore, the star players like rooney, kaka, rolando, drogba, messi scored a combined total of only 2 goals while they combined have scored hundreds for their clubs this season. By being overly cautious, these stars played like very ordinary players. After all, being injured could mean missing out on $50m paychecks.....so who can blame them.
So spain wins because their star players don't hold the ball too long for tackles to hurt them. They pass them around & hope someone shoots & score. Like this morning, Puyol scored with head & every spain players relieved they don't have to 'cheong' & risk injury.
Now, holland has a 'rooney' player in van persie and he must be thinking how not to get injured. But fortunately, they must a 'seow' player like robben who don't mind injury & cheong all the way. So as long as spain can keep robben quiet & hope sneidner don't get to lucky again (he has scored 3 fortunate goals).
