One of Eimer's Argentina vs. Spain predictions: He is leaning Under on total goals (2.5). "Spain have conceded just one goal in seven matches at this World Cup, and they were absolutely untouchable against France in the semifinal. Argentina come alive late, with nine of their 11 knockout-stage goals coming after the 75th minute, but breaking down this Spanish defense is a completely different challenge. I expect a tight, tactical final where goals are at a premium."
