German manager believes that Spanish will beat Holland after eliminating his side

Spain are the 11/10 favourite with William Hill to win the 2010 World Cup final

Germany manager Joachim Low has backed Spain to win the 2010 World Cup, after watching them beat his side in Wednesday night’s semi final.

A Carlos Puyol header gave Spain a 1-0 win over Germany, but it could and should have been more comfortable for the European champions, who outplayed their opponents for most of the 90-minutes on Wednesday night.

Low described Spain as “masters of the game” and is now confident they will beat Holland on Sunday and win their first ever World Cup trophy.

"I am confident they will win the title” he said

"Spain are a wonderful team. They are the masters of the game. You can see it in every pass. They can hardly be beaten. They are extremely calm and convincing. Spain were just better than we were and they deserved to win.

"In 2008 they won the European Championships in a very convincing way (beating Germany in the final) and they have been unchanged over the past two or three years. They play in an automatic way. They have put on top performances in all matches they have played and they can beat everyone.

"Over the past two or three years they have been the most skilled team of all. They circulate the ball quickly and we were not able to play like previous matches. We were not able to get rid of our inhibitions."
