We most likely watched different games. Up to the goal, Germans actually had more scoring opportunities, but didn't press nor follow through enough. A non-call at the end of first half also helped Spain, would have liked to see how it turned out. German defense comfortably handled Spanish attack, actually re-play the game and see how much smaller and slower Spain looked against bigger and faster German defenders. Germans simply fell asleep for long stretches, Villa simply had no one on one chances as time and again Germans provided cover tracking back at speed. Same for Torres, even that fast break away of 2 against 1 was quickly taken care of with Spain losing the ball.

I am routing for Holland in the final, Spain simply got to the final on pure luck in a number of games so far. I just hope De Jong, Van der Vaart and Huntelaar all start (with Elia, Robben and Dan Persie coming in at 70 minute mark).
