Germany wont finish 90 without a score and Argentinas offense is broken. Masch deserves all the credit for this win. He was an absolute master at directing. Unfortunately Lows tactical genius will get the better of him. Sorry but Germany are outright favorites. Messi was so awful today but for what its worth Van Gaal had his defense swarm him on the ball. Which is what Low will do. Predicted this final and Germany to win.

hey guys, here's an idea for overtime in NFL playoffs: allow false starts!
They should bring the bases closer after the 9th inning...and umpire's strike zone should shrink by an inch every inning.
yup and let's bring the hoop down to 6 inches in basketball OT.
I can tell you guys are real soccer fans, flopping over a suggestion and crying bloody murder
Oh and empty net during OTs in Hockey.
What? Empty net OT winner? I've taken 30+ non hockey fans to live games over the years, including a group of guys that played soccer on college, everyone loved hockey. It's not popular because it's expensive to play, opposite of soccer and it's allure that anyone can play
Comparing soccer to a real mans sport like hockey, lol.
I played soccer, you ever learn to skate? Nope . Talking about stuff you know nothing about

yeah you never see hockey players take dives and cry like little girls, which is why soccer is better.

Yeah if I was gonna put money I'd definitely go with Germany, better players and playing better futbol. Argentina though haven't given up a goal since group play finished, amazing considering their defense was supposed to be their weakness. Sabella has employed a scheme that has aided their weakness, sacrificing some of the flair.

looool...wow dude you're very sensitive. Maybe insecure about your favorite sport's popularity!? It was a joke. Talk about crying bloody murder. Calm down dude.
and lol @ real man's sport. I don't think any of the major team sports push bodies to the limit like soccer. I'm not trying to put down hockey or any sport. Hockey is extremely physical too...but soccer is brutal. So soccer players flop to get calls...In every sport...athletes try to fool refs. It doesn't make someone a less of a man...lol
...and how would you know if I ever learned to skate? haha...what is wrong with you? I actually did learn to skate when I was around 5-6 lol

You never see soccer players run to the sidelines every few minutes to take a seat because they're tired lol
Players dive to get an advantage over their opponent...every sport tries to gain advantage by fooling the ref.
Look...hockey is physically tough - but soccer pushes the body to it's limit. You don't get to play in controlled environment...you don't get to stop and take a break (only 15 minutes half time break)...there are no timeouts...you can't sub in and sub out all game.
..and there are plenty of brutal tackles in soccer too and you only get to protect your shins.
