Argentina the better team in the first half I think. Very enjoyable game sofar.

 

[Torch]

The Argies should of had at least one as also the Germans at the end of the half,going to be a nail biter.

 

[Marcel]

Yup, looking forward to it. Adler got a few extra grey hairs now

 

[Lucky13]

......and short of a few nerves!

 

[Marcel]

Great game sofar and not the expected walkover for the Germans. I would still say Argentina slightly better. Proves that Argentina is not Brazil.

 

[Lucky13]

Gooooooooaaaaaaaaallllll!!!!!!

 

[Marcel]

Hmmm, lucky germans again. Applause for Argentina for playing very well. But congrats Germany, a worthy champion.

Worthy champions indeed. Messi was anonymous and Schweinsteiger got beat up in extra time.

Boring final.

But Germany are worthy winners.
Mainly because they destroyed Brasil.

Was not boring if your team was playing. It was far from boring to me!

Argentina the better team in the first half I think. Very enjoyable game sofar.

I don't think so. Germany had more chances, 67% to 33% ball control and over 50% more completed passes. Argentina was just playing defense and rarely attacked. There were dangerous moments don't take me wrong, but Argentina was far from better.

The better and deserving team won today.

Deutschland!

Goetze went from goat to hero in a split second. Congrats Germany. I thought it was a nail biter, the Argies had their chances and blew it....

The thing about Argentina is they played only defense. For the most part they stayed back and let Germany control the ball with the hopes of getting a counter attack goal. You have to play to win, and while Argentina did a great job of keeping Germany from getting into their game, it was Germany that played to win.

The 4th star is well deserved!

which chanel did you watch? I don't think the game was boring at all Argentina had some great chances and so did the Germans.

Chris, the Argentinians did not play half as defensive as against us. In my eyes they had the best chances for a goal, particulary the first 30 minutes and the first 20 of the second half. Then Germany became better, but did not get many chances. Of course Germany is the better team and rightfully won, but I don't think the difference was that big. Argentina could easily have won and nothing for the Germans to complain about. Lucky for the Germans, the Argentininas are not much of goalgetters.

It was a great game which Germany deserved to win though Argentina had their chances. Germany always press high up the park which gives them more chances but they are vulnerable to the counter attack. I don't think its fair to say Argentina didn't play to win they just played differently. In the second half they kept Muller Klose and Ozil fairly quiet. Some of the fouls were brutal but overall a great final, I'm glad it didn't go to penalties.

I don't think Messi, Aguerra and Higuain would agree

A lesson for Brazil is that Germany were without some players, one missing was one of their most influential, but they still won.
