"Spain smacked down Sweden 5-0 on aggregate, including a 4-0 opening salvo in the first leg back in October, to get here. Germany was made to work harder to get here - prevailing 1-0 in the opening semifinals leg against France and then hanging on for 2-2 draw in the second to advance to the Final. The Spanish won the last World Cup and finished second to England at the EUROs this summer, so they are something of a team to beat."
"Can Germany pass the test? It was a fierce battle over the summer at the EURO semis, so expect more of the same. This is not a match to miss. Prediction: Germany wins the home leg, 2-1, in a heroic effort to prevent more Spanish goals. Setting up a nervous wait for the second leg to see if that lead will be enough. Location: Kaiserslautern, Germany"
