Spain vs Germany for the Semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup. Spain last defeated Germany in the Euro 2008 Finals, and certainly Germany would like to see that loss avenged with a big win in the semi-finals over Spain.
Spain had been favored to win the 2010 World Cup even before the tournament started. And for sure, they have played well enough to reach the semi-finals. However, Spain haven't been as convincing with their wins, only winning 1-0 over Portugal in the Round of 16, then 1-0 over Paraguay in the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Germany have been impressive, racking up loads and loads of goals against very formidable opponents. Germany defeated England 4-1, and then defeated 2010 World Cup favorites Argentina with a score of 4-0. Miroslav Klose and Thomas Mueller of Germany each have scored 4 times in the tournament so far.
Germany are capable of getting goals, and they will certainly put the defense of Spain to the test with their attack. Spain will have to step up their game against Germany if they want to continue their dream of a 2010 World Cup. David Villa of Spain is one of the World Cup's top scorers with 5 goals to his name, and is on top of the leaderboard for the Golden Boot if he can maintain his lead, and score more goals.
