The second finalist of the 2010 World Cup was the Spanish national team. According to Lenta.ru, in the semifinals the Spaniards defeated Germany with a score of 1: 0. The Spanish national team will compete with the Holland team for gold, which won Uruguay on Tuesday in the first semifinal.
In the game with Germany, the Spaniards owned the ball most of the time, but the blows of the players of the Spanish national team, as a rule, did not reach the goal. The ball at the gates of the German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer turned out to be only in the 73rd minute: after serving the corner Carles Puyol, he scored his head.
After the goal of Puyol, the Spaniards had several more opportunities to distinguish. The team of Spain did not use the best chance to double the score in the 82nd minute, when Pedro and Fernando Torres went together against one defender, but Pedro, instead of making a program, went into stroke and lost the ball.
As for the German national team, she failed to organize an offensive at the end of the match. In fact, the Germans did not create a single faithful goal moment in the entire game.
Thus, the forecast of the octopus Paul, who lives in the oceanarium of the German city of Oberhausen, was again justified. Paul correctly predicted the outcomes of all matches of the 2010 World Cup with the participation of the German team. Before the semifinals, the octopus gave preference to the Spanish team.
In the final of the World Cup, which will be held on Sunday in Johannesburg at the Sokker City stadium, Holland and Spain will meet. The Germans will play against Uruguay on Saturday for third place, who lost to the Dutch in the semifinals with a score of 2: 3.
