Meaning he anticipates the movement too much and becomes easy to read. Spain's 2nd and 3rd penalties were far from being well shooted, expecially the second was awful, and i'm still puzzled about how Buffon could let it skip under his shoulder (the shoot was central).

I'm positive Brazil will win mostly due to the climate too.
True, with the heat and humidity I think Spain will loose the game.
