Like an article in Soccernet, Ballack out or not, Germany is still play collectively, rather than relying on certain individuals.

Im praying that we don't choke now; my heart had been stabbed numerous times since 1998's Nigeria horror.

In Guiza we trust

if true that Ballack is out for tonight match..we have the advantages as he is one of the play maker and KILLER free-kick taker! just need to keep on eye to Schweinsteiger. He is dangerous!

spain for the win!!!!we will see it tonite....wahahahaa

Schweinsteiger really looks like Ljunberg when he playing Arsenal last time and beware of the germany headers too..

The German should be dangerous from set piece as usual. Moreover Germany will most likely play the counter attack game and seat back absorb the Spanish attack. So the Spanish should play their usual game and hopefully their attractive football can win the tournament as compare to the previous one. Fabregas should play an important role tonight as Villa is set to miss this game. His ability to release the ball quickly could come to play to unlock the resilient German defense. More so Germany defense hasn't be that solid rock as they have shipped in 6 goals as compare to Spain have managed to concede 2 goals. Pace could be another factor in tonight's game. Hopefully Torres will rediscover his club level form as his pace could be key to unlock the German back four. Over the course of the tournament his constant pace have unsettled oppositions. More so with the German centre back which isn't bless with the most pace defender in Metzelder and Metersacker.

Time to put things right and shed the tag of under achiever. Viva Espana!!!!!

Seems like eternity waiting for the final omg.
Now at office doing some OT just hope spain will win tonite.
Gonna take a break between 3-5 just to watch it

Got exam paper tomorrow..but MUST see my beloved Spain play!!! hahaha

SPAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN will win tonight...!!!!!!

any news on ballack?does he start tonite?hope he wont make it..

shit la... 2molo midterm. but tonite gonna study my midterm and study SPAIN

VIVA ESPANA!!~~~~~~~~~~

just wait spain win lol!!!!!huh

actually it's good if he can make it, because if spain win surely they'll feel a lot better

I support Spain over Germany, eventho Germany got captain Marvel Michael Ballack....

who will not play.

if ballack makes it, then this might be the 10th time hes ended up as runners-up

imo even though he play tonight he wont perform to his best if the injury hurts him. lets just hope he is hurt enough to be off form tonight or just dont play at all.

ballack plays or not doesnt matter
as long as aragones starts fabregas in a 5-man midfield, the spanish should dominate the midfield.
then we'll see germany playing lots of long balls.

long ball are dangerous for spain too. as they dont have many tall players and german headers are killers. just hope spain could be able to dominate the game and score as early as possile.
