Cesc Fabregas. the transformation from an immensely talented footballer at arsenal to a matured international.. is yes, complete. its spain v/s germany in the finals and for the first time since the 2000 world cup.. i've NOT sure about this one .. (backed greece once the group stages finished the last euro .. so it was a different feeling altogether). the heart says germany .. and the heart AND the brain says spain.. if you know what i mean. how COULD spain miss out AGAIN.. you ask yourself .. surely not THIS TIME.. maybe this IS their chance to get something started.. maybe an injured David Villa would be the difference between a win and a loss.. but then , maybe the realization of the magnitude of the event would be the difference.. too many maybe's. i hope it happens .. the country needs it. defence would make the difference .. and stamina for a 120 minute match.
Germany.. maybe one better than when under klinsmann.. maybe just what the captain needs to cap a successful career.. maybe the launching pad for something from this team which never quite meets the expectations when the crunch time comes .. ala, who else but their opponents. maybe it'll be the Klose match when the world watches bastian or ballack.. maybe it IS about the defence after all with germany.. maybe the physical advantage of the germans would decide it .. especially in extra time.. again too many maybe's..
you'd expect and hope for an open game .. you hope and expect for an early goal .. you hope the refree has a good day.. but with these two teams .. you just hope it's not another heartbreak.. and know what ..for one set of the fans .. it's going to be so-near-and-yet-so-far once again.
.
my prediction? .. 1-1 normal time and germany to get that winning goal in extra time . no penalties.
maybe its not yet the time for spain..
