Germany vs Spain Live Stream Semi-finals

Date : 07-07-2010

Game Start Time : 20:30

FIFA World Cup 2010

Venue: Durban  

A match of such stature deserves a good Preview therefore this Germany vs Spain Match Preview will provide a comprehensive analysis. It’s not every day that teams of such excellence clash and that too on such a Grande stage, but when days like this come it is no surprise that the world stops and watches. This celebrated all European semi final match is to be held on the 7th of July in Durban.

Much to the delight of their fans it must be admitted that the German team has become somewhat of a Juggernaut in this World cup. They have displayed extraordinary performances against teams like England and Argentina thrashing both of them 4-1 and 4-0 respectively. None of the teams in South Africa so far have stood as challenge for Germany and it would come as no surprise to anyone if they won the cup this time, a feat which they have accomplished 3 times before as well. Their attitude is well represented by the words of Bastian Schweinsteiger, German midfielder “This is a very good team. We may well play Spain next.

Obviously we respect them, but we have the potential to go far and we want more.”

Our Germany v/s Spain Match Preview shows that Spain’s performance has been subpar for the last few matches. Though the La Roja team recovered after an insulting loss against the Swiss, they have failed to achieve decisive victories even against the weaker opponents. This belief is shared by their coach Vicente Del Bosque probably the only Spanish who did not have a smile on his face after the Spanish victory against Paraguay on Saturday. He said “We didn’t play well and we never looked comfortable” and added “We are not scared of Germany but I think they are playing better than anyone right now”.

Even though the Spanish team is star studded, when talents such as Fernando Torres underperform consistently, the chances for a victory by the Spanish Armada seem low. Though David Villa has held the Baton for the Spanish in the world cup so far, Bosque needs a few more of his star players to start scoring some goals.

FIFA World Cup 2010

Venue: Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth

Netherlands vs Brazil Match Preview is done to get the most out of this upcoming match on the 2nd of June at Port Elizabeth. Now that the world cup has reached the quarter final stage the competition can only get tougher and out of these many great teams only a few shall have the rite of passage to the semis.

The Dutch team which is being seen in the world cup for the 8th time since 1930 has reached the finals twice but unfortunately, failed to win the cup both times. And this time again the ‘Oranje’ have displayed great resilience in their play so far, they topped their group and then went on to challenge Slovakia in the round of 16 at Durban. In Durban, the Dutch defeated the Slovaks by 2 goals to 1 thanks to return of their star player Arjen Robben. Bert van Marwijk, Netherlands coach was delighted with Robben’s return to the team “It’s obviously fantastic to have Robben come back after injury and show that he’s already fit enough to be scoring that kind of goal”. Netherlands v/s Brazil Match Preview will shows that for their next match against Brazil the Dutch need to perform better than ever before.

And not without reason did Marwijk say “Against Brazil, perhaps we might be the underdogs for the first time in South Africa”. The Brazilians have featured in all 19 world cups to date and are the only team to have won the coveted showpiece a record 5 times. The Brazilian lineup is studded with star players like Kaka and Fabiano who have been in the best of forms this world cup. None the less the match against the Dutch is the toughest they have yet to face and coach Dunga knows this, he said “We know the Netherlands are a very difficult team to beat and they are very able technically, we’ve got another decisive match ahead”

Expected Outcome:

Even though the Netherlands has played amazing football, they have yet to face a real challenge. And given Brazil’s great legacy we would expect Brazil to do the same this time as well and give us a great match.

But unlike before elimination of even a good team at this stage would not mean that the competition may become dull on the contrary the excitement will only intensify, this can be seen by our Netherlands vs Brazil Match Preview.

Rival Japan has warded off the uninspiring form they displayed in the upsurge of the tournament to defeat Cameroon and Denmark going to the last 16.

Coach Takeshi Okada’s tactic paid off with Keisuke Honda successful in a different attacking role. In his back are Endo and Hasebe have commanded the midfield and Japan displayed versus Denmark that their defense includes a distinct threat, two of their three goals came from direct free-kicks. Their determined line of attack gives them an edge in fitness against their other rivals. While there will be no change in the lineup of Japan, Paraguay will have to be content without Victor Caceres defensive midfielder because of suspension while Antolin Alcaraz centre-back could come back after being out in the last game due to an ankle injury. This is the first battle of the two teams at the World Cup but they have already engaged six times at the past. The South Americans have listed two wins and Japan has one.

This will be a match up between Justo Villar vs. Keisuke Honda. Villar was injured in the start of the opening minutes of Paraguay’s 2006 Germany campaign, he is trying to make amends now and let just one goal during the group match. The 32-year-old captain must be aware of Honda, Japan’s danger man. He is a midfielder who turned striker who has already scored twice so far. The CSKA Moscow man became Japan’s new talisman for several months now and scored six goals that anchored six wins.

Japan with play with pace and agility, the players can change the direction of a match so focused and keep running up to the end, said Paraguay forward Santa Cruz, Paraguay forward. Paraguay’s defense is very organized, their physical strength is good and also good on handling the ball, and they are difficult opponents, said Japan midfielder Yuki Abe.

FIFA World Cup 2010

Venue: Johannesburg

With the pitch of the World Cup Fever now raising the bar into Stage 2, the Argentina v/s Mexico Match preview looks to be an affair of heated gameplay and flair of Football at its best run. Looking at the buildup to these Knockout matches, the promise of rigorous competition is going to hit Johannesburg on the 27th of June.

So far on, both teams have shown us their determination, but still, fact remains that Mexico is playing underdog and Argentineans are favorites challenged. While Mexico is a very physical team to reckon with, Argentineans have so far proved to be untouchable. With coach Diego Maradona, considered the best footballer in the world by millions, promising Argentina that history will repeat and Lionel Messi will do what Maradona himself accomplished in 1986; the Copán Americana football fanatics are looking on hard.

Looking at Mexican football, the El Tri wants nothing better than to maintain their success and performance so far into the world Cup. Running up in Team A over France and South Africa, the Mexican football team has shown promising skills and technique besides their usual speed and power play. However, there is a certain change in the tide now. While so far, in Stage 1, the games have been technical and defensive football, more representative of European Football was prevailing; the Knockout rounds mean there is no scope of recovery. The Argentina v/s Mexico Match preview indicates one certainty; that Latin and Central American aggressive physical football is about to strike the World Cup fever already in full pitch the world over.

While Mexico promises to make sure Argentineans don’t have any scope of finding this an easy first Knockout match; the Argentineans are also gearing up for anything. Even with their roster of star world footballers and golden boot candidates, Argentina knows that Mexico has similar strategy of ball control and field domination besides random scoring.

Prepared with their best line up of players in full form, Argentina expects to make their mark in the first Stage 2 match by flying colors. On the other front, Mexicans are prepared to put everything on the line to survive these knockout matches all the way to the Finals. On the subject, they have their eyes set on showing Argentina that great football is unpredictable, determination and then and there play does. The one thing the Argentina v/s Mexico match preview doesn’t give away is speculation; the world only prepares for excellent Football.

FIFA World Cup 2010

Venue: Mangaung/Bloemfontein

Out of the many matches in the World Cup, few will hold such emotional significance as the Germany v/s England match preview is speaking of. Set to go on the 27th of June at Bloemfontein, this match speaks volumes of the hopes and aspirations of Europe’s Football fans. So far, as per performance shows, European Football has been less than impressive except Portugal and Spain showing grand performance.

While Germany seems somehow not up to their usual rank; a shaky England side with out-of-form star Wane Rooney had finally gotten back team unity and performance in their last Stage 1 match against Slovenia. Now, Germany has found back their classic strategy and fast ball exchange gameplay, while England seems to be recovering from frayed management and fallen team spirit.

With the Knockouts ready to happen, all teams know that the situation is critically boiling with excitement. Stage 2 doesn’t leave scopes for draws or retakes; each match is decisive for progress into the Quarter Finals. Germany is looking forward to ensure rigid and hard gameplay and give the English competition well deserved. On the English squad, with emotions high as the team is uniting again to reach Victory, the British seem to be getting back to their class act.

From strategic gameplay to fast and aggressive ball battle; the English team seems to be prepared for any surprises from the German rivals. Knowing the football fever and the history between these two countries both in and out of the field; the Germany vs. England Match preview seems to be holding all the surprise back till the end of 90 minutes of serious Football action coming to conclusion.

Speculations do speak of the English team not really being prepared enough to face the promising German onslaught, but such speculations fall short in the Football field. Upsets are common and astonishing performances even more familiar in the Sport the world swoons for most. After all, this sporting event is the most popular and keenly hypnotizing event the world sees every 4 years. Champions are made on the grass as Countries compete for the Final glory.

With such a fervent build up of adrenaline and emotions; this match has mixed speculations from either supports. Looking closely at what has happened so far may really bear no mark on what may be to come. The Germany v/s England Match preview can only be described as an unpredictable event prepared to take stage on Sunday.

The Swiss team has a combination of youth and experience. The players like Tranquillo Barnetta, Eren Derdiyok and keeper Diego Benaglio with veterans Blaise N’Kufo and Alexander Frei. The present lineup will try to at least try to be equal the achievements of their descendants who made the last eight last 1934, 1938 and 1954.

They had a final minute draw to Israel and a 2-1 loss to Luxembourg in Zurich that brought embarrassment on the team. But the draw back worthy defeat made a wake-up call and the Swiss duly got five wins after against Latvia (2-1), Moldova (2-0 and 2-0) and Greece (2-1 and 2-0). They only lost points again in a 2-2 draw to the Latvians. With revenge victory of 3-0 in Luxembourg and scoreless draw with Israel in Basel sealed top spot in Group 2 Europe and confirmed a spot in South Africa for Frei and company.

The star players of the team are Alexander Frei their undisputed chief on and off the playing field. The Basel striker holds the all time record for goal scoring is his country. He was Hitzfeld’s choice as national team captain. He finished the qualifying games with five goals. That score was equaled by Blaise N’Kufo the striker of Twente Enschede who was first called up by the Swiss in 2000 and has a productive attacking partnership with Frei.

Their coach Ottmar Hitzfeld is Europe’s one of the most successful and highly regarded senior coaches. He is one of only two men to lead two different clubs to UEFA Champions League namely Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

He started being Switzerland head coach on 1 July 2008 and after a slow start, guided his squad to a direct qualifying match for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Watch the World Cup 2010 Switzerland vs. Honduras, it promises to be a great game.
