      With the 2008 final approaching in only a few hours, the&nbsp;excitement mounts for those that support the favorite "Spain" against&nbsp;the three-time champions booting up for the #4 win, it
      is sure to be a great game, even with Spain's being without their top scorer David Villa (injured during the game against Russia). With Germany's midfielder Ballak possibly out of the game as
      well, it should be interesting to see what the final lineup will be!

      As quoted by Luis Aragones:
    </p>
    <p>
      <strong>"We might have less attacking punch, but we will have more control in the midfield, I haven't decided anything yet though and I might still opt to play two strikers."</strong>
    </p>
    <p>
      Spain is a great team (better than Germany in my opinion!) and are full of confidence&nbsp;so no matter if they choose the option of using Fabregas (Coach told reporters after team practice
      Saturday that he still hadn't decided whether to play with Fabregas in a five-man midfield or play with two&nbsp;forwards.) &nbsp;they will&nbsp;need to play their hearts out since
      the&nbsp;Germans&nbsp;play very well as a team and&nbsp;are a bit faster in their counter. Still Germany will have to play tightly and&nbsp;control their passes because the way I see it; Spain
      may not have won a major honor in 44 year and like many they see it as&nbsp;this is the year they will go all the way and I personally firmly believe&nbsp;this game will&nbsp;belong to Spain.

      <strong>Vamos España!</strong>
