I think Germany will win it all.  Argentina has failed to impress.

Germany will win this years world cup.  I dont see them surrendering a goal and i also dont see them being unable to score.  Sana maging exciting, last time these two teams met the Germans played with Argentina.

You could tell the Argentines really willed themselves to defend through pain and suffering.

Three (Rojo, Mascherano, Zabaleta) got concussed with hits to the head and one (Biglia) playing through a very painfully injured arm.

Result: the once-prolific Dutch not having a shot on target in 120 minutes on the pitch,  even with Robben, Van Persie, and later on,  Huntelaar.

This is, arguably, a better defensive display than Germany against Brazil.

One rule change that I wish is for FIFA to penalize double or triple teaming when the ball is not within the penalty box.   Game sucks if both teams resort to avoiding defeat by stifling the best players with 2 or 3 muscular defenders than go all out to create offense for the win within regulation.  Where's the beautiful game in that?

I'm still rooting for Messi though.

i think andiyan ung beauty ng soccer... how will you defeat those defender na halos lahat susugod sa iyo... to find an open player... that is why they need to pass the ball... or else dudumugin ka talaga...

One of the few players in football's history who can sow so much fear on the opposing team that they abandon their original attacking tactics just to concentrate on shackling him.

Well I consider yesterday's Argentina Netherlands game a snoozefest.

Plenty of people actually share your opinion.  Some others though were also able to appreciate the beauty of being able to defend for 120 minutes.  Lalo na kapag maraming striker ang kalaban.  They will really defend until penalties happen.

kadalasan kasi long time football fans lang ang nakakapansin nyan.  Its actually really difficult to score a goal, 1 on 1 with a keeper and some people still miss at a professional level, so when a team scores and the other team parked a bus, its really a celebration.

And Julio Cesar's debacle continues.  Has seen two goals slip by already by the 17th minute.  The Brazilian side is vulnerable each time the ball is inside their penalty box.

Khedira develops a calf problem and is out of the final.

Khedira is 1/3 of the powerful German midfield - great at defense and an offensive threat as well.

Jeez Messi will outrun Hummels all day, bit of a mismatch there.

Lively match even if it's 0-0 at the half.  ARG seems to have had the clearer chances, looking to counter with their speed.  Messi and Higuain giving the GER defense fits.

I am anticipating goals in the second half. :D

Germany is in control and threatening most of the time ... the chances that Argentina had were from breakaways

I am liking  Argentina's chances, they have put a halt to the German forward flow with good defense and have had the better scoring chances.  Shame if this ends in a penalty shootout.
