Germans are on an average 1.5 inches taller than Turks. Turks fluked into the semis as luck deserted Croatia, a far superior team. Russians are a young side with the fittest players you will see anywhere. No one can forget the sizzling shots in Russia vs Netherlands game which the Russians should have got 5-1. Spain looked aged and clueless against an equally unimaginative Italy. I think Russians are going to defeat Spain with their lightning speed and engergy. The only problem with Russia is they fumble at finish and are not good at marking the opposition. Dont be surprised if Russia goes to the finals to make it Russia vs Germany.
