An epic semifinal took place in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in Durban, South Africa. The powerful Germans took on the crafty and methodical Spain team. The winner would go on to face powerhouse the Netherlands who had not lost in their last 24 matches. That is unheard of. This semifinal was anticipated to be a high scoring 3 to 2 game but it was an absolute grind for moth teams. Spain dominated with time of possession in the first half but were not able to capitalize on many scoring opportunities. Finally, in the second half, an improbable source game through and broke up the scoreless draw. On a corner kick in the 76 minute, #8 Xavi sent it into the box and defender #5 Carles Puyol came out of nowhere and buried it into the back of the net on an incredible header. Germany was unable to get an offense going all game and they came up short against a better more experienced Spanish team. Stay tuned, mark the date, Sunday July 11th at 1:30 ET, Spain will face the Netherlands in the World Cup Final.
