The last game of the round of last 8 of the WC 2010 sees - a littel bit suprising - the game between Paraguay and Spain. Spain as European Champion 2008 could be expected in this round but the anticipation of Paraguay is a bigger suprise.
During the Group Stage Paraguay could qualifiy as winner of Group F for the final round. There they assert against the top favourite italia, agains New Zealand and against Slovakia. One win and 2 draws was enough to set Paraguay as winner of this group.
Spain as winner of Group H has to take a hard and surprising defeat on day one against Switzerland but the let follow a win versus Honduras and versus Chile and ended in Group H as winner of the group!

I expect at this game a very balanced game in which Spain could take the win after Extra Time due to their better players. Therefore my tip is a
DRAW after 90 minutes!
