FINAL - Germany vs Argentina

[Magrat Garlick]

Did really well to win a corner not long back

Above average contribution for an Argentine attacker then

German commentators going full "we and us" - mode here

 

[Johnners]

So Palacio is the hands down winner of the World Cups Worst Hair right?

 

[Burgey]

Most unlike a group of Krauts to be so reluctant to shoot.

 

[The Sean]

The finishing in this match. Seriously.

 

[Tangles]

The finishing tonight, man.

 

[GIMH]

Mascherano walking a tightrope here. If it goes to ET can see him walking

 

[Tangles]

Really hope we don't get penalties. ****e way to finish the final.

 

[The Sean]

What the actual **** was that Mario??

 

[grecian]

You know I normally don't care about those ***** who don't normally follow football, and in countries that don't. Yet it's going to annoy me a bit when they call this match dull because of the lack of goals. The last final was rightfully called shocking. Yet this one is probably the best in all-round play for a while. 98 was actually quite lifeless, despite goals. So nest since '86?

Should be said though the finals have been remarkably **** since then, but oddly remarkably good before that.

 

[GIMH]

Really could have done without this. ****'s sake

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Speaking of people who have not done owt, Klose?

Off he went. Probably fair bit part of me thinks he'll be useful in extra time.

On an unrelated and uncreative note, Neuer makes better passes than most of the German back line

 

[grecian]

Does anyone look at Löw without thinking that hair looks ****ing weirdly unnatural. Still it's a good tribute to the Ramones considering their last surviving original member died this week.

Last thirty were fairly grim. Think this is on par with 98

 

[sledger]

Argentina have been good value. Have surpassed my expectations by far.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Been a pretty good game but it really shouldn't go to penalties. Just a terrible way to finish a WC.

 

[GIMH]

Should have a replay if level AET IMO

 

[Spark]

This going to follow the "extra time = total chaos" formula of before, then?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Just score ffs

Though Germany had a crazy good conversion rate going in here iirc, law of averages (© Cribbert) ruling

 

[The Sean]

Say what you like about him - and we all have - but I can't help but feel that if one of these chances tonight had fallen to Klose, one way or another the **** would have buried it.

 

[Johnners]

Can't half tell Höwedes isn't a natural left back, I reckon Kroos/Schürrle/Schweinsteiger have spent half the match gesturing for him to move into certain positions.
