Mark Thomas (Manchester United fan) says...
Good article. I think we've all seen with the Netherlands how difficult managing a group of supremely talented players can be. I, like many, think this could be Germany's year. But the greater options that Spain have from the bench could be the difference. A Germany-Spain final seems inevitable and it should be great to watch.

Huy Bui (Manchester United fan) says...
i certainly agree with him spain is the team have many talent in the per position. they the dominant for the world in last for year and i think them till continue in the next many time.the most things is surprise althought have many player talent in the team with the biggest ego in 2 team rival in the domestic Real and Barca but when play together in the national team whenever have the argument in the dressing room. that is the biggest key for the success and the man with help combined many those ego can't referred that is del Bosque tha man build up static with many the other plan in for last year. he is inspire within into all the them with the spirit .confident, concentrade.
