I have gone in big on Germany to lift the cup at 4/6
I intend going for that too.
I’ve had an interest in Germany -1 at4/1 too.
Really looking forward to this. All points to a German win, but the lack of a world class striker may yet undo them. Anytime your team possess the best player, you always have a fighting chance. I have a hunch that Messi will prove the difference with Argentina winning 2-1.
Khedira injured in warm up
Fairly extraordinary change to have Kramer starting a World Cup final. Doubt he was anywhere near the first team plans a few months ago. Khedira will be badly missed on his semi-final form.
Not sure Klose is much less than world class. He’s obviously old now, but get the feeling he’s been conserving himself a bit. Could see him doing well tonight, particularly with Muller attracting attention.
Agreed on Messi though. Makes it very interesting.
Massive disappointment and huge opportunity right there

Klose was world class in his prime but not now IMHO.
Big boost foor Germany not to have that lump Khedira in their team
Rojo not very clever there.
Generally agreed - but as a striker in this team, he only needs a couple of fleeting moments of that class to have an impact.
Very promising first 5 minutes
Muller should have lifted that to the back post instead of trying to pass it through along the ground.
Howedes has left Hummels on his own on that left hand side a couple of times.
Both teams having joy attacking down their right flanks.
Very positive start from Argentina
Concussion?
Kramer took some thump there.
Cheers Ray.
