Agree on Di Maria. Carried Real Madrid over the line in the Champion's League final as well. Just can't see die Mannschaft getting beat, they beat pretty much the same Argentinian side 4-0 in the last World Cup. Argentina look far tighter at the back this time around but at what cost? Lionel Messi having one shot on goal in 120 minutes of football says it all.

Germany 2-0 Argentina
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Argentina to win.  History on their side, no European team has won a world cup in South America and I don't expect that to change.  Germany were clinical against Brazil, but I think that was more Brazil capitulation than German brilliance.  They didn't even have to pick apart that defence, it was open for the taking.

Is the "World Cup" still going?  ;)

It must be the most drawn out sporting competition ever (where's the ducking for cover emoticon?)

bad pun.

I don't see how they could do it faster though, it's been three weeks and the finalists are about to play game six.

Soft sport, full of corrupt players staging for penalties, who also appear to practice acting more than their football skills.

It's boring now and should have been over three weeks ago!

You could make it shorter by dropping it down to 16 teams only to qualify instead of 32.

The Aussies would never make qualify if that happened though...

Loving the extra fta sport, throw in Le Tour too. Good value during the cold winter months here.

Ok the last game, the premiership of soccer. My tip is Germany but I'd like Argentina to win because we have several members of family who migrated there from Italy. Good luck to both sides and thanks for an entertaining month.

Wasn't sure who I wanted to win then I saw Angela Merkel singing the German anthem and I knew straight away I was going for Argentina! :P

One of the worst finals I've seen however. I think it was a great Cup up until the quarter finals. Full credit to the Germans they deserved their win. Merkel can still eat a dick though.
