Sports / Re: Spain Vs Germany: [1 - 0] @ World Cup 2010 Semis by madaboyeg: 2:20pm On Jul 06, 2010
[CENTER]



A "psychic" octopus in Germany, which appears to have correctly predicted every World Cup game involving the national team so far, has picked Spain over Germany in the semi-final.


Paul, from the Sea Life Aquarium in the western city of Oberhausen, chose a mussel from a jar with the Spanish flag instead of one with a German flag.

The two-year-old cephalopod has become a national celebrity.

According to his owners, he has a record of predicting German results.

They say Paul chose the winner in nearly 70% of Germany's games during the 2008 European Championship.

He correctly predicted all five of the team's previous World Cup games - including a shock defeat by Serbia in the group stages.

His prognosis ahead of Wednesday's World Cup semi-final was broadcast live on German TV.

Correspondents says Paul's plumping for Spain has caused alarm in the country, but some analysts point out that his predictive powers are not perfect.

During Euro 2008 he wrongly picked Germany as the victor against Spain.

Facing the Netherlands, Samba must be careful









watch live here





Johannesburg – clash between the giants could not be avoided in the 2010 World Cup quarter-final. Besides Germany versus Argentina, the other big match was Brazil against the Dutch. That’s because the Samba defeated chile 3-0 in the 16th round of the Coca-Cola Park, Johannesburg.

In contrast to the appearance of the three group stage matches, the action of Brazil players this time is more attractive. Playing with a 4-3-1-2 formation, Lucio and friends able to deal with fast and attractive Chile game. It was not separated from the return of Kaka as the Brazilian midfield creator. Juan created goals (34), Fabiano (38), and Robinho (59) is also created from the game offensively.

Argentina play a quick, bright attacking game – but then again so do Germany. And both are in blistering form





Argentina have not been defeated yet in the tournament and have won four straight games. They have conceded only two goals in the World Cup till now and are the favourites to win this tie.

Argentina 3-1 Mexico
Argentina 2-0 Greece
Argentina 4-1 South Korea
Argentina 1-0 Nigeria

On the other hand Germany are also looking extremely strong after destroying England 4-1 in the last game. The Germans have only lost one game so far in the tournament and the match against Argentina would be fantastic.

Germany 4-1 England
Germany 0-1 Ghana
Germany 0-1 Serbia
Germany 4-0 Australia

One of the most artistic football venues in South Africa, the newly-built Green Point Stadium is situated in one of the much sought-after areas in the city of Cape Town. Green Point Stadium is one of the two semi-final venues for the FIFA World Cup™.



This multi-purpose venue is also going to be used to stage major events and concerts. Fans will be a stone's throw from the ocean and the mountains of Cape Town will also provide the backdrop for matches. The location is ideal as it is a short walk from the transportation hub of the city. The new stadium has been partly built on land that was previously used as a golf course.

The stadium, which has an exterior that is covered with noise-reducing cladding has a capacity of 64,100 and is scheduled for completion in December 2009. The Green Point Common, on which the new 2010 stadium is being built, was originally much larger than what now remains, and included most of the land between the sea and Signal Hill, stretching from the city centre towards Sea Point.

Cape Town has another world-standard stadium, Newlands, but this is primarily used as a rugby union venue.  Post FIFA World Cup, the Green Point Stadium is likely to be used by some of the Cape Town-based professional football outfits that include Ajax Cape Town and Santos.

Form

Argentina v Nigeria 1-0, v South Korea 4-1, v Greece 2-0, v Mexico 3-1

Germany v Australia 4-0, v Serbia 0-1, v Ghana 1-0, v England 4-1

Both teams are in blistering form, and confidence in each camp must be sky high after impressive round-of-16 wins. Argentina arguably faced a stiffer test against Mexico than did Germany against England – Mexico outplayed England in a friendly just before the tournament started – but both sides have been among the goals since the word go. Argentina will be encouraged by the brief period in the first half in Bloemfontein when England had Germany on the ropes a little bit, either side of the phantom goal. Diego Maradona has acknowledged that a correct refereeing decision there would have made life a lot more difficult for Germany, and his players will be hoping to similarly exploit inexperience in the German defence.
Previous meetings

Argentina won 8

Germany won 5

Drawn 5

Argentina goals 25

Germany goals 24

Germany beat Argentina in the 1990 final, though both teams have evolved considerably since then. Argentina now play a quick, bright attacking game, and so do Germany. The quarter-final meeting in the last World Cup might be more relevant. Then, as now, Argentina looked unstoppable, until Jürgen Klinsmann's unfancied Germans actually stopped them, taking the match to the end of extra time and inevitably winning on penalties. The same thing could happen again, no World Cup student ever writes off Germany, though there is no home advantage this time and Manuel Neuer is a far less experienced goalkeeper than Jens Lehmann. Argentina have the firepower to prevent the same thing happening in Cape Town.
Managers

Diego Maradona v Joachim Löw



A contrast in styles, although put up virtually any manager in the world against Maradona and you would have a contrast in styles. Superficially, Löw is a quiet, undemonstrative type who tends towards expressionlessness on the touchline, while Maradona is an extrovert, hyperactive camera magnet who is sometimes more entertaining than the match. Both men clearly know they are photogenic and not so secretly enjoy the spotlight, though personalities apart it is the effect they have on their teams that matters. Löw has had his critics but proved at this World Cup that he is an ideal modern manager for a modern German team. Maradona has possibly proved even more. He has earned the right to be taken seriously, and consequently so has his team. The driver is not going to crash the bus after all.
Key clash

Lionel Messi v the Germany defence

Barcelona's little genius has not scored a goal yet in the World Cup, but that does not mean he is having a bad tournament or has disappointed in a similar manner to Wayne Rooney. He was excellent in the group games and he made the opening goal against Mexico, the ludicrously offside one that Carlos Tevez scored. Big-name players usually step forward in big games, and Messi's creativity and running with the ball could trouble a German defence that found dealing with England's attack relatively easy. While the Germans were able to push England all over the pitch they could be on the receiving end this time. Even if Messi fails to score, Argentina have Gonzalo Higuaín and Tevez waiting to pounce, and that's not even counting Diego Milito and Sergio Agüero on the bench. Messi, one feels, is due a big game.
Expectations

Chile's coach, Marcelo Bielsa, said it was acceptable to go out of the World Cup to Brazil, and in their heart of hearts Germany may feel the same way about Argentina. That is not to say the Germans expect to be beaten, they will doubtless put up a fight, but the two South American giants are looking ominously potent at this World Cup and there is every chance of them meeting in the final. Germany, as always, set out to get as far as possible in this World Cup and give a good account of Bundesliga standards. Argentina think they can win it, at least they do now their unpredictable coach has proved he is not going to be an obstacle to progress. Argentina should prevail – on paper at least they have a superior squad – but it would not be the greatest surprise should Germany prove savvy enough to turn the weight of expectation against their illustrious opponents. That is what Germans tend to do in World Cups.

England will play a World Cup warm-up match against reigning African Cup of Nations champions Egypt
Fabio Capello will launch his FIFA World Cup™ preparations on 3 March when England take on Egypt at Wembley.

As soon as the draw was completed in Cape Town earlier this month, Capello made it a priority to secure Egypt as the Three Lions' next opponents in the planning to face Algeria in their second Group C game in South Africa next year. England do not have much experience of north African opposition and have never faced Algeria, who beat Egypt in a stormy play-off in Sudan to reach next year's finals.

Capello wants to put that right and felt Egypt were the obvious side to gain it against under the circumstances. The last meeting with Egypt came during Italy 1990, when Mark Wright's single goal was enough to secure victory in Cagliari. A repeat would represent a historic 500th victory for England.

Capello's trusted assistant Franco Baldini will be present at the CAF African Cup of Nations, with the Algerians set to face Malawi, Mali and Angola in the group stage. The Italian is also trying to arrange a friendly with Mexico in May, which will serve as a warm-up to the opening game against USA, before playing a final friendly, likely to be against Japan, at the end of a pre-tournament training camp in Austria.

They are the current African Champions having won the 2008 African Nations Cup.

Egypt were the first African country to participate in the World Cup when they played in Italy 1934, losing to Hungary 4-2. Egypt has qualified for one World Cup since then, going out in the first round in Italy 1990. They were known as the United Arab Republic national football team when Egypt and Syria joined to form the United Arab Republic from 1958 to 1961 and then until 1970, with Egypt alone making up the UAR. They have played for the Bronze Medal in the Olympic Games twice (1928 and 1964), losing both times.
