1st half over 1@2.35 1 unit

I think Spain will enjoy tonight's game after facing Portugal and Paraguay's 'park the bus' philosophy in their previous two games.

Germany have been rewarded with playing an offensive game so far this WC and I don't think that mentality will change this evening - nor should it. Scoring four and shutting out an Argentina side in the quarters was quite an achievement, despite Maradona's side seeming to lack any sort of game plan. Spain will be a different proposition under Del Bosque.

I can see both sides enjoying a fair bit of freedom across the park with Spain's more methodical approach and ball retention frustrating a German side who will look to attack with pace and quick balls into the box. It will be important for Spain that Alonso can get as much time on the ball as he can as I think Low will set his side up to pressure Spain's holding midfielders as quickly as possible and keep them on the back foot - limiting distribution to the likes of Xavi and Iniesta.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Ramos deals with both Podolski and Lahm charging down the German left. If Ramos is caught too high up the park then the German counter could be very fruitful - as it has been for most of the tournament.

Will Villa and Klose add to their goal tally tonight? Both forwards are on fire and both defences will need to be on guard.

It'll be interesting to see if Torres plays tonight or whether Del Bosque will opt for Fabregas to flood the midfield and play Villa up top on his own - this will add even further to Spain's ball retention possibilities.

I think Spain's ball possession will give them the slight edge this evening so i've taken them to be the more clinical side and find a way to win, possibly late on, against a tiring German team. If Spain aren't at the top of their game, then of course Germany will stand a real chance. The game could be decided by a moment of brilliance or a disasterous lapse of concentration.

Great game in store and even though i've picked Spain, I want Germany to win.

No real feel for the game tonight, what with Germany missing a few starters. Just making a play based on the fact that I think Uruguay will be more hungry for a (pretty meaningless) 3rd place finish to take back home with them.

Uruguay +0.5@2.05 1 unit

Not sure how wise it is to go against the Germans and more importantly, Paul the octopus, but i'll take a chance!

All good mate, all the best with ya play. Smart play and the Uruguans should come out quite upbeat!!

Thanks jcp! Alas it wasn't to be..........

.....and never fade an octopus


Uruguay +0.5@2.05 1 unit


World Cup Final

Taking Spain to frustrate the Dutch (just like they have to everyone else - apart from the Swiss ) but I can see the Dutch netting tonight so Spain will need to improve in front of goal in relation to their last 3 games which all finished 1-0.

Spain ML@2.10 2 units

Quite like the over 1st half as well.

Please can we have a classic game tonight

Im backing them as well
