Apart from some of the match against Chile, Spain have played against teams that have played very defensively. Spain play pass-and-move football and if there are 10 men behind the ball, then it makes the passing game very hard.

Germany on the other hand have played teams that gave it a go and were probably too attacking (Argentina had a goalkeeper, four average defenders, a defensive midfielder, and attacking midfielders and strikers - not balanced), apart from Serbia, who actually beat them.

Spain are probably the team most balanced between attack and defence and they are used to teams attacking them on the counter - German's biggest weapon. Hence why I think they should dispatch Germany.
