Argentina v Germany - World Cup Final 2014

Disgusting challenge on Zabaletta, could easily have been red.

Pretty poor tackle from Howedes there. He even knew it as he was doing it. No need to be that high.

Lavezzi having his best game of the tournament so far, looks very dangerous

Argentina continuing to look dangerous on the back. Schweinsteiger the only player capable of helping out his back four, who are defending a bit individually and leaving big gaps.

Excellent. Should’ve been slipped in there by Messi.

Effectively the Germans have downgraded Khedira to Özil in that department. So no big surprise.

Super clearance from Boateng.

Definitely, just because it was the obvious ball didnt mean it was the wrong one.

Great opportunity there again for Messi. They’re getting behind Germany at will now, should have one by now, which is a worry.

Lovely skills from Ozil there.

That was Klose. Just too much bend on the cross from Muller.

A lively enough first half. Germany dominating possesion but the Argentines are looking very sharp on the counter. Nicece bit of niggle to it

Linesman guilty of over acting at the corners

Oh my!!!

:eek:

This has been good. Best wc final for a long time so far.

Holy shit :o

Ridiculous exchange between Hamilton and Steven about whether that would have been offside from the initial header or not. FFS.

Good point earlier @Scrunchie about that look behind from Higuain. Thought it betrayed a complete lack of confidence.

Indeed. It’s well balanced and it’s a good open game. Contrasting styles but both equally effective.

Have a bit of sympathy for Howedes on the corner - think he had to contort himself a bit to head it and just didn’t adjust enough.

I’ve little sympathy for him. He can count himself lucky to be still on the field.

I wonder how many people are watching this
