Spain put up a splendid performance to deny Germany a place in the Finals. Having swept aside England and Argentina en route to the Semis, Germany, who had won the World Cup thrice, conceded to a solitary goal netted by Carles Puyol. The Spaniards had impeccable passes and solid team work that made them rulers of the pitch for the day. Their style of play, tapping the ball on impact for short passes, was a pleasure to watch - appeared like an orchestrated dance with the Jabulani.
With this win SPAIN becomes the current favourite to win the coveted Cup.
