  • Neuer did not have to make a single save !!

    Argentine defense was very good their attack however was a bit shaky. Di maria would have been missed.

    The role of substitutes in scoring goals has been amazing in this tournament. Gotze was subbed in for Klose at the 88th minute.

      Argentine had a plan to be physical. 1st 19 minutes of the game they downed German players 5 times. All looked intentional. Either way was a good match to watch. I'm happy with the result. Have to go back and continue with the German Ice Wine.

      • Congratulations to Germany.

        Condolences to Argentina. To be in the final was an achievement in itself.

          • actually I reckon most of the finals were a disappointment

            earlier playoffs were much more exciting

            • A boring final, not worth staying up for.
              Both teams looked unsettled and Argentina's physical play was ugly to watch.
              Schweinsteiger was really hammered by them.

                Check the timeline from the stats and you will find germany got the first two yellows within the first half. Which is odd as they usually don't foul as much. Germany made more fouls in the game, only by a little though. The second German foul by Howedes was fortunate not to have resulted in a red card. This game was not too bad compared to others in that aspect. Two yellows a piece.

                              • I know this is late, but I just came back from Europe a few days ago.

                                I watched the Germany-Brazil game on TV while in UK. That was a beat down of epic proportions. Goals #3, 4, and 5 were scored the same way, secondary attack from the mid-fielders. Brazil's backs converged on the strikers and left the trailers completely open. In fact I called out goals #4 and #5 to my friends before Germans scored. They were that obvious.

                                Yes, I am not a fan of soccer (football for non-Americans). But I am a fan of sports in general and a student of tactics. A brilliantly executed plan of attack is a beauty to watch in any sport.

                                I boarded a Lufthansa flight the day after this game. Needless to say the crew was very friendly and always had a smile.
