World Cup Final, Germany vs Argentina

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Sorry RP, bursting to get this going.

 

5/4 Germany vs 11/5 Argentina

 

Aggressive Germans vs a counter attacking Argentina ? Wonder if this will how it goes.

0-0, Germany win 4-3 in penalties

[realtarragona]

Argentina haven't been too impressive in any game they've played really.

 

Think Germany should win by a couple.

Germany have only won by a couple against a team that has a certain hubris. Argentina will be different,

 

Still though, reckon it will be a game for the Germans to win

I fail the cricket test again #arg

[Conrad]

1-0 Germany (Brehme, pen)

[Hassony]

Argentina to win this 3-2 (Messi hatrick)

[cymrococh]

Can only see Germany winning this.

[The_Adder]

Argentina to win this 3-2 (Messi hatrick)

 

Would love that

 

Argentina have been pretty damn solid in defence, will be an interesting game, deffo cannot see Germany romping it..

 

Could be a Klose one.

will be good if Di Maria is back, but that's unlikely isn't ?

Dont think he is gonna make it, they could revert back to Aguero, Higuain and Messi though. Although Lavezzi has probably looked their most liveliest.

[D.Boon]

Thought Higuin was lively last night but spends too much time outside the box. Got to be Germany as Messi looked a shadow of himself last night.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

hopefully more of an 86 than 90 final

[Gunga Din]

germany on pens

[Tobes Rafa]

I honestly think Germany peaked one game too soon with the Brazil game. Argentina for me with late 1-0 win.

[Gravy]

Can only see a tight dull affair a la 1990. To be honest, apart from the 7-1, the QF's on have been very boring

[Nerik]

2-1 Argentina. Messi to score.

[John am Rhein]

2-1 Argentina. Messi to score.

 

if this happens I win the pot at work

[Swan Red]

I think Germany will win I'd prefer Argentina to.

They beat Brazil without any great effort. If they wanted to put more into that game they could easily have smashed them by 10+.

Argentina on the other hand put in a really draining performance against the Dutch.

Is this about me liking both Germany and Argentina?

 

 

 

 

I think I'm in a similar place to Vic now - want Argentina to win, expect/fear Germany will.

he needs to have a hell of a match and so does messi. think that if germany shut messi down they'll win. germany still look like they've got another couple of gears in them.

he did a pretty good job on Robben but Germany have more than one main threat.. he can't do it all. Messi has to step up a lot and cause enough trouble to keep the midfield from pouring forward like they did against Brasil.

Germany look too strong as a team though.
