    You do realise though, that you can't possibly win this tournament unless the score will be an exact 2-1 Spain victory?
    Your closest competitors will post 1-0, 2-0 Spain victories. Those following a bit further behind will pick Germany for the win. All of which will cost you the final victory in this tournament, unless you have guessed exactly right with 2-1.

    You could reconsider your prediction to increase your chances...

    If my closest rivals all pick close scores then bar a stupid score with spain winning its going to be pretty close at the top, theres not too much in it so someone will probably get in and steal it but... second aint bad

    The game changed completely when Fabregas came on, they just opened up more and had more movement and drive. The score would have been a lot higher had Villa not been injured but Torres in his place or Giuza been brought on earlier for Torres. Yeah, that's right, Torres was shocking! He was absolutely , missing near open goals and his control, , bollox, he gave the ball away or blundered it so many times in the final third. Guiza showed why he was the highest scorer in La Liga last season. His goal and the build up to it was exquisite, typical Spain. I really hope Aragones starts Torres on the bench, he needs a break, as he can't handle the pressure. Arshavin went completely missing, and Russia spent more time on the turf than on the ball.

    ¡Vidas de España!

    True. But every Spanish goal in that game had Iniesta's signature on it.
