We’ve seen three matches come to a conclusion today.

We’re less than 30 minutes away from kick off. Germany need to win this match having stumbled dramatically against Japan in their opening group game fixture.

Spain on the other hand began in their campaign with a resounding 7-0 thrashing of Costa Rica.

We’re actually buzzing for tonight’s fixture. It’s the 2010 Champions vs the 2014 Champions. Who will come out on top tonight?

Both managers Luis Enrique (Spain) and Hansi Flick (Germany) are serial winners at club level and are widely regarded amongst the best coaches in world football.

Hansi Flick won 6 trophies in his first year at Bayern Munich including the Champions League.

Luis Enrique won the treble with Barcelona in his the 2014-15 season including the Champions League and went on to win a double the next season with the Blaugrana.

So, tactically both managers could just about match up each other - which is what makes tonight’s clash even more interesting.
