I agree!

I attended the Germany Ghana game and left absolutely shocked at how lacklustre they (Germany) were - they didn't deserve to win that game.

After that they thoroughly redeemed themselves against the likes of England and Argentina, and I was happy to write the Ghana match off as a fluke. What I saw last night was a very sad spiral down to the very same level, and even though I would love to have seen them in the final I simply don't think they deserved it. They were comprehensively outplayed by the Spanish in all aspects of the game, and simply didn't feature at all.

As for Holland;

I really think they have played their hearts out so far, and have a spot in the final to show for it. However, the last 30 minutes against Uruguay was nothing more than a desperate and shambolic attempt to hang on to a lead. If they go into the final with that sort of style, they stand absolutely no chance against the Spanish.

I'll certainly be rooting for Holland, but I will not be surprised if they get beaten by Spain on the night I'm afraid.
