The second game of the semifinals was between Spain and Germany. It was a rematch of the epic Euro 2008 Final match, which Spain won 1-0 to claim their second ever European Championship. The Spaniards quickly from the start mesmerizingly controlled the game, and were incredibly patient in their efforts to find the perfect opportunity on goal. But the German defense was up to task, and not much in terms of offense was created in the first half. Spanish striker David Villa had an early chance when he ran through the defense and put a shot on goal, but Manuel Neuer came out to block the shot well. Germany had their first real chance of the match when Mesut Ozil was through on goal, before Spanish defender Sergio Ramos clipped him in the box.
Just one game remained for all four teams in the semifinals. The question was, would it be for the World Cup Trophy, or for third place.

On the final day of the round of 16, one teams found their World Cup dream over in the cruelest of ways, and another crashed out of the Cup after a lackluster performance. In the first game of the day, Paraguay took on Japan. Most assumed that Paraguay, the pre-match, favorites, would put the Japanese away easily in 90 minutes. But a tough Japanese team stuck in there and kept Paraguay scoreless for the second game in a row (New Zealand had shut out Paraguay in the final game of the group stage). Japan had chances on goal too, but the Paraguayan goalie Justo Villar came up big on plenty of occations.
