Spain -1.5

Spain dominated all their games so far conceding not one single goal. They are displaying a very high level of football and are yet to lose a game for 35 matches. A win here would bring them into the final and would make them sole record-holders with 16 wins in row. They started with an easy 5:0 over New Zealand, continued by managing to break an Iraq wall for an 1:0 win and finished the groupphase with a 2:0 over the hosts from South Africa with their so called "2nd team".

USA played awful football in their first 2 games and lost both matches clrearly. But if we look fair, the opponents were mighty Italy and Brazil (1:3, 0:3). In their last match then, they all of a sudden woke up and dominated Egypt to win 3:0 and advance to the finals.

USA´s first two games against teams of similar quality should imo be the parameter here, 1:3 and 0:3. Although its a 1/2 final, Spain should have no problems.

Spain -1 @ 5/6

This Spanish side in years to come will be looked back upon as a classic, solid at the back, USA will have trouble breaching this backline, Midfield has speed, creativity and vision to pick a killer pass, with Villa and Torres about goals should be scored if given the service. Spain's current form is formidable and from what i've seen of USA despite being hardworking, maybe open to Spain's free-flowing football tonight.

Yep definitelly agree with you on this one - I go for Spain and for Brazil at 1,25 and 1,28 so that makes 1,6 for couple of dollars

Might add more bets (probably on the -1 handicaps) later. Both Spain and Brazil should progress to give us the final we all want. Both teams have won all 3 of there games, Spain done so without letting in a single goal (5-0, 1-0 and 2-0), Brazil hammered world champions Italy 3-0 aswell as beating Egypt 4-3 and also Usa 3-0. The gulf in class in these fixtures is there for all to see and both Brazil and Spain should win these fixtures with ease.

Now that wasn't ment to happen. Usa knock out the current European Champions and end there joint record of unbeaten games.
