Looks like you have a solid selection here, since Paul the Octopus has chosen Spain to beat Holland in the final!

Uruguay vs Germany will be a very interesting affair, I really believe Germany will not be clicking at all cylinders and can you blame them? Uruguay has a very strong defense which was unlucky to give up some of the goals they did. I think both teams has great finishers but with Klose possibly missing this encounter and Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil also nursing some injuries I have to roll with the Celestes getting a goal. I'm also considering betting the over here.

Why is the line where it is? Uruguay is underrated while Germany is slightly overrated.

Be careful with Uruguay! FYI, Paul has chosen GERMANY in this 3rd place game!

Make me feel better cuz I already had Spain ML +110. Jumped on this when it first came out as I think Spain is playing better and better as a team... not to mention the individual talents all over the field. I'm seeing a 1-0 or 2-0.

I'll do a small write up here before I go to bed cause I'm not sure I'll have the time to get it in before the game. Spain has a counter for everything Holland can throw while Holland doesn't. I think while Xavi, Iniesta, and Pedro/Villa can get through the Dutch defense of Van Bommel, De Jong etc. with skill and speed the dutch will have much more trouble. Schineder has had a great tourney but now hes going against Alonso and Busquets who have been outstanding. Ramos and Robben will be a very intense battle but if anyone is up for the task it will be Sergio. As for which of the forwards will have the better game I have no doubt as Puyol will lock just about anybody (see Klose) and that includes RVP. Lastly give me Iker Casillias over just about anyone. In essence I think Spain matches up better, are more talented, and the price is just right.
