Congrats Germany - a fantastic group of players that I can only see improving.

As for Argentina, the old adage of not taking your chances has never rung truer.

Messi though needs to take a good long look at himself because having off days is perfectly acceptable but fucking walking around in a World Cup final?! That stinks for me.
Exactly, that wasn't an off day, that was a couldn't be arsed day. Not good enough from the man who was supposed to take the mantle!

They'll never shut up about Messi now. People will probably call him a failure etc.

Meh. I still think he's the best player ever.

And people will have a point.

It's impossible to define who was the better player.

Messi's argument would have been strengthened if he'd bother to turn up.

Very poor tonight.

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Diego Maradona, Che Guevara, Galtieri, Jorge Luis Borges, Pope Francis, Juan and Eva Peron...

Your boys took one hell of a beating

Very poor tonight.

First half he was at his best.

The substitution where they moved him into the middle killed him.

Good game... frankly i think in the 90mins, the Argentinians had the better chances but they couldn't convert. Germany did well handling messi, and some how got the deciding goal.

good match, great tournament...

Germany have won the world cup for the first time ever!

You often forget that half of the nation have never celebrated a win

Sounds like England. I'm sure half of us weren't born in sixty six.

Aguero and Higuain are pure trash, Where the fuck was Tevez and Lamela.

Palacio: hahahha. fuck me
Aguero was injured and clearly not fit

Lamela wasnt fit either

Palacio I agree and Tevez but I think they should of taken Milito or Di Santo

Sabella as manager of this team has shown sweet FA.
Love messi but he's no maradonna.

Maradonna would have grabbed this game by the sack and made sure he didn't leave the field not having gone into full beast mode.

Really didn't want Germany to win for purely selfish reasons, but I can't deny that they didn't deserve it. They were the best team in the competition. Feel sorry for Messi as he's still got that sword looming over him, but he didn't quite turn it up to 11 as he normally does. I think he just doesn't suit the Argentinian team, or perhaps they don't suit him.

Anything that annoys Kirchner is great in my books. She probably thinks Argentina invented football

Look, I love the guy when he's on song and still the best footballer in the world on a technical level but the attitude more or less throughout this tournament and generally for Argentina just gives the impression that he feels it's beneath him to even give moderate work ethic.

It's because he's lauded to the highest level possible which is why he will now take a bucket load of critique which will rightly come his way.
