Spain will play Germany at 2:30 p.m. ET at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, South Africa in a highly anticipated semifinal World Cup match. Leading 2010 World Cup scorer David Villa will lead the potent Spain attack against a rising German squad bent on returning to the finals in Johannesburg. This classic pork and tomato recipe is characteristic of the type of fare served in tapas bars in the Herrera del Duque Province. Good luck Spain!
