Spain head into their FIFA World Cup™ semi-final with Germany with a warning they will have to overcome a much stronger side than the one they beat in the UEFA EURO 2008 final.
Germany coach Joachim Low, believes his side's progress over the last two years has been significant enough to give them every reason to believe they can turn the tables on their opponents and book a spot in Sunday's final.
"After we lost the 2008 final we were all very disappointed but you have to admit that Spain were clearly the best team in that tournament so they deserved to win the Euro," Low said.
"Two years on, we have made a lot of changes, Spain not so many. In this tournament, in terms of how we've been playing, we've clearly come on several steps since 2008. In 2008, we were not as consistent and we perhaps did not have the same quality in every position as we have now. The players we have now have incredible skill, technique and tactical nous.
