CR7 wiould've had the audacity to score from there. These two remain equal foes but his free kicks are ridiculous.

Messi still has 4 years to try again, I just think that he peaked a few years ago. Still fantastic though.

Argentina had no shots on target in more than 120 minutes (ignoring the off side), so not entirely his fault.

Di Maria was sorely missed and Aguero wasn't 100% but when is he ever? Messi is a legend of the game already but you always ask the impossible from a legend and he didn't pull it off. Germany are just a solid, rigid unit and been the best team in the tournament.

Germany were the best team throughout. Messi? The guy is so fuckin lazy when he does not have the ball; he plays like Berbatov, strolling around the field there with no work rate whatsoever. There is no way you can compare him to the likes of Maradona and Pele. No way.

German players have really hot girlfriends.

Yes. Talk about rubbing our faces into things! And did anyone see that german girl in the crowd in the first half? She did not look very German. I suspect she was a Brazilian who had decided to wear the German colours because Germany were playing the Argies. But she was stunning

His winning the Golden Ball is a bit of a joke. Again, apart from a couple of runs, he was pretty anonymous. Still, FIFA couldn't give it to Neymar so it had to be Messi...

Messi pretty much carried to the final a mediocre team that should left in the final 16 or earlier. I think he deserves the recognition.

Messi or no Messi, it was Mascherano and the defense that made all the difference for Argentina. Gotze's goal was the first they conceded since the Nigeria game in the group stage.

Yes, their defence has been great. They neutralised Netherlands completely and Germany almost completely which is no easy task. But in terms of attack they were nothing without Messi.

Pff... Argentina did way worse on the game. Schwei was bleeding after the argentinian hit him. not to mention the ref gave them a lot of overtime.

Anyways, good job, Germany. It was well deserved.

Brazil humiliated, Dilma booed and the argentinians crying their way back home... that was the perfect ending for the cup!

Argentina played great game, just lacked definition on the many occasions they had to score. Germany was solid, stable and made Argentina tired until they found opportunity to score and when they did, it was flawless.

Whoever says Argentina didn't deserve to be in the final must be one of those humiliated brazilians with no dignity whatsoever. Argentina subchampion but not ashamed or humiliated by the German machine :)

Congrats Germany!

He carried them past group stages, he didn't do much else in tournament. Let's be honest.

Messi has probably had the worst year of his career performance wise since he left his teens. As for the walking though, he's been like that for 2 years possibly now. He scores alot still, but he rarely runs like he used to.

Did anyone see the extra time team talk video? Manager gives a big speech to players to get them riled up, Messi just walks off and ignores his manager and his team mates.

Yeah, funny seeing him sitting on the ground drinking juice like a kid who wants to be alone, real WTF moment.
