One of the countries in the World Cup final has a dark history connected to a ruthless dictator. They will play Germany.

What's Di Maria's outlook for Sunday? Anyone?
It would be better if they had to pedal with their hands...

Hummels and Bierhoff revealed that at half time Germans agreed to go easy on Brazil to no humiliate them further at home.

Ok some evening World Cup Trivia courtesy of Twitter:
Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria (Argentia) and Sami Khedira (Germany) won the Champions League back in May. One of them will be lucky enough to also hoist the World Cup trophy on Sunday. Only two other players in history won the CL and WC in the same year. Who are they?

Van Gaal really blew it for Holland today.
Started two questionable players with fitness issues and was forced to make changes. Probably would have rather preferred Krul in net for pks - even after JVG stated himself that both other keepers were stronger in pk's than Cillejson (sp)
Not that the Dutch keeper blew the pks.....but Krul would have been preferred.
Oh, and throwing out Vlaar as your first pk taker.
uke:
I root for Germany, and think they should be pretty strong favorites.
Argie was held by a long in the tooth, beat up Dutch squad with their captain obviously in the middle of his period.
Germans are fully healthy. Should be a decided advantage.
Put me on the record of saying Germans win this convincingly.

I think the Germans win 3-1. Argentina looks really pretty mediocre out there.
Soccer kings -- is there any reason for Messi's recent struggles other than every team is challenging him with 3 guys as soon as he gets the ball? I just assumed he saw that all the time in club play, but I imagine that Barcelona is far more dangerous than Argentina.

There you go. Beat Ballack in the CL and WC final.
The other guy played for Madrid too, but didn't do it in 2002.

I think they will have to defend as well as they have in the last two matches. They gave up a total of 7 shots on goal against Belgium and the Netherlands and will need to remain as organized as they've been in the knockout round. Germany should want to take the game to them more, so hopefully Argentina will be able to successfully counterattack them and nick a goal or two against the run of play.

If Messi played for the US, they would have beaten Germany. Going against the grain and saying Messi leads the Argies to the promised land and finally banishes Maradona to the history books.
