Paraguay's penalty tho, looks like one of our players stepped into the box too soon in the shooting and should have been repeated too. They could complain about that, but it's not time to be splitting hairs, is it? Their keeper should've been sent off and Spain should've shot their 3rd penalty in minute and a half....

You're right about that. I had to have the offsides clarified after the match. I need to see it again, though, because I had kept my eyes on Valdez.
In any event, GER/ESP is going to be a good one. I'd say winner of that will be the favorite to win the cup but you never know in this tournament.
