Germany vs Argentina -> Germany wins the World Cup

GER: Their road to the final: On the Group stage Germany crushed Portugal by 4-1, tied 2-2 with Ghana and got a 1-0 win against USA thus finishing the group in the pole position with 7 points. On the last 16 they had a hard fought 2-1 victory after extra time against the Algerians. On quarterfinals they completely freezed France by 1-0 and on the semifinals they absolutely obliterated and saddened the hosts Brazil by 7 goals to 1.

Germans have arguably the best offensive side of the tournament. They also have a great defense, wall worthy goalkeeping and tactically intelligent coaching. They also have superior ball control, very effective counterattack and an ability to slow the game speed to a minimum, thus gaining full control on how the game will go.

What Germany has to do is straight of the bat gain full control through ball possession and not let Argentina get it from them. They also need to come at the Argies with all they have got straight after the whistle blows, hammer their defense, creating opportunity after opportunity, maybe get an early goal and force the Argentinians to attack and possibly leave their defense in trouble.


ARG: Their road to the final: On the Group stage Argentina got a 2-1 victory against Bosnia, a 1-0 win against Iran and a 3-2 victory against Nigeria, finishing the group with a perfect record of 9 points. On the last 16 they got through Switzerland with a 1-0 victory. On the quarters they beat Belgium by 1-0 also and on the semifinals they were better than Netherlands on the penalties by 4-2.

Argentina have arguably the best defensive play of the tournament and at least second best goal keeping, having only allowed 3 goals in 6 games and not allowed any goals on the knock out stage, which is quite an impressive achievement.

If Argentina want to win they need to utilize strengths, defend and defend their hearts out and frustrate the Germans enough to possibly make them lose control thus possibly get them make careless mistakes on their defensive play, leading to unnecessary fouls, that leading to free kicks and possibly even penalty kicks. If Argentina can somehow upset and make the Germans lose their calm and cool posture, making them angry and little panicky, they are close to gaining the ultimate glory.

Ultimately it´s a battle of the best offense of the cup vs the best defensive side of the tournament.

Oh no, Khedira has injured himself in the warm up

[King Gizzard]

[Calderyon]

30th minute: Argentina scores, but the goal has been disallowed as an offside. Which it was.

[Brother Leon]

Lavezzi will hurt them.

[arista]

You would think Germany would have scored by now?

[Gstar]

:mooriah: if this match goes into penalties

[Locke.]

Good game so far. Argentina have got this.

[Brother Leon]

Lavezzi to create a goal on the break.

[Ryan57]

Rio saying Hummels and Boateng lack ability.

[Drew.]

Ozil having a great game so far, Argies need to get Aguero on.

[Locke.]

Maxi to come on and score another screamer
