He clearly saw a head-butt from a Spanish player towards Lukas Podolski, he didn't book him or give him a red card.</p> <p>"Just before the end we had a good chance in the penalty area and all of a sudden he gave a foul against us where even the Spanish players were surprised to get a free-kick.

Even though germany knocked out portugal or turkey, their games were sloppy. In both matches against portugal and turkey, it was the opponents who had more possessions, more shots on and off target. Germany were just very lucky to be scoring the goals when it matters.</p> <p>On the other hand, i think spain have an impressive path to the final. (contrary to what some pple have said here). They beat greece, russia and sweden in incredible fashion. They went on to own italy and also beat their opponent russia yet again who had a impressive display against the dutch. Spain totally possessed all the matches.</p> <p>One more thing, spain were more hungry for success.
