So the psychic octopus has spoken, predicting a win for Spain. If you're on the German side, that's got to get inside your head a bit. If you play for Spain, that's got to give you a boost. Let's call it "the ink factor".

These are the two most aggressive teams in the tournament, with Germany scoring more goals so far than any other team. Spain is reaching the semifinal for the first time in its history, while Germany must find a way to keep up its stellar momentum without Thomas Muller.

Can Germany shut down David Villa, who is so far the most effective striker at this tournament? Can Spain get its act together against a team that has proved a frightening ability to assert its will and run up the score? Is the psychic octopus wrong? Is Germany's success inextricably tied to Joachim Loew's nasal excavations?

Join us right here and find out.

Players to watch
Miroslav Klose v David Villa

The leading marksman at South Africa 2010 with five of his country’s six goals, the Spanish striker is just one away from joining Raul as La Roja’s top scorer of all time. No less important to his team than the in-form Villa, Klose is closing on another record. The German forward needs to find the back of the net one more time to draw level with Brazil’s Ronaldo as the leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup finals history with 15 goals. One behind the Spaniard in the South Africa 2010 charts, Klose has not given up hope of making off with the adidas Golden Boot as well.
