Posted July 12, 201410 yr So just over 24 hours to go until the final, and the World Cup is over for another four years (booooo!). Who do we think will win? The favourites are Germany as to be expected. I tipped Argentina at the beginning of the tournament, and I'm staying with my gut. I'm not expecting it to be a classic World Cup final, but here's hoping!
July 12, 201410 yr Germany will probably press so high that it'd be logical to mark Messi with one of their defenders, but that would be lunacy. I hope it doesn't mean Low putting Lahm back in midfield.
July 12, 201410 yr Fully behind Germany for the win, Argentina have been on the whole very disappointing this tournament IMO, whereas Germany have played exciting and clinical football and deserve to win.
July 12, 201410 yr Author I don't think anyone not from Argentina will be satisfied with them winning. Argentina haven't been brilliant, but a lot of people are forgetting Germany's struggle against Algeria. I want them to win for Messi, although be a shame for Klose to be the World Cup top scorer ever, and never have won the tournament. Muller has plenty of chances yet.
July 12, 201410 yr I'm hoping Argentina win it as I bet on them pre-tournament, though I suspect Germany will win. The two deserve to be the two finalists though.
July 12, 201410 yr I'm really hoping Germany take it but I get a chunk of cash from the work syndicate if they don't.
July 12, 201410 yr I'm hoping Germany take this (I just hope Muller doesn't score as I really want Rodriquez to win the Golden Boot) ((Ozil can not score either but that's more because he annoys me so that is completely irrelevant to the WC)) Edited July 12, 201410 yr by *Tim
July 12, 201410 yr Germany will win tomorrow I think and hope, btw the kick off is at 8pm not 9pm but the build up starts at 7pm on BBC one & ITV.
July 13, 201410 yr Author Germany: Neuer, Howedes, Hummels, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Klose, Muller, Lahm ©, Kroos, Boateng Argentina: Romero, Garay, Zabaleta, Biglia, Perez, Higuain, Messi ©, Mascherano, Demichelis, Rojo, Lavezzi Both teams unchanged. Nice of Argentina to have Aguero and Di Maria on the bench in they need a goal.
July 13, 201410 yr Germany should win and will deserve to if they do. They've been the best team overall in the tournament even accounting for the Algeria game
July 13, 201410 yr I'm supporting Germany so much I'm getting nervous every time Argentina leads a foray into the German half - especially that Higuain shot. come on come on come on you Germans.
July 13, 201410 yr The fact that Argentina is playing better than Germany at the moment bothers me so much C'mon Germanu pull thruuuu
July 13, 201410 yr Holy shit that was so close! Not happy so far. Wanted something more akin to the Brazil match
July 13, 201410 yr Author Really good game this, both teams going for it. Germany more attacking than they want to be, reckon Argentina will score on the counter in the second half. Going to be lots of spaces opening up. This was never going to be a repeat of the Brazil match. Largely because Brazil are diabolical without Neymar, and Argentina are very solid.
July 13, 201410 yr Since everyone is team Germany, i'll be the opposite and be for Argentina. Muller does my absolute head in.
July 13, 201410 yr Author Since everyone is team Germany, i'll be the opposite and be for Argentina. Muller does my absolute head in. I'm team Argentina too!
July 13, 201410 yr Its been a great match, but I did feel the first half lacked something, the Germans should have scored in the last dying minutes.
