With the news that Vicente Del Bosque has decided to start three strikers for Spain today, it sounds like we’ll have a match in store. Will Del Bosque’s late decision to play three strikers have a detrimental impact on Spain since they’re not used to playing that system, or is Del Bosque being coy and will still play a 4-6-0 that can revert to a 4-3-3 on the attack?

No matter what happens, today is a wonderful day to enjoy watching two of the best teams in Europe battle against each other. There are so many talented footballers on the pitch today. Who knows which ones will grab the headlines?

This is the match that we’ve all been anticipating. This is a match that will go down in history. I can’t wait!
