2014 FIFA World Cup - Brazil

[AlvaroF]

This is what a final should be like. Nothing to be afraid of, attacking and defending, good game.

Messi today is the key-player because Germany is letting him play. So far no huge bad decisions by the ref. And the goal was well disallowed.

Let's see what the second half has in store for us.

I hope this ends with the penalty shootouts, I love the tension in those! Just like in 2006 with Italy vs France.

Edit: my bad

2006 was Extra time, 1994 was the last final with a penalty shootout

I do too. But the regular game should end in 2-2 and then each team scores another in overtime.

That would be a great final.

No pens please... I have to be up early in the morning for a 300 mile drive

I stand corrected

That's for sure, more goals, more fun! As long as it's not as in 2010 with 4-0...

Good game to watch, could easily be 2-2 with the chances so far.
Some stats up to the final.
Matches played: 63
Goals scored: 170 (2.7 per match)
Attendance: 3,355,135 (53,256 per match)
Decent numbers

Argentina keep jumping the gun, they have good opportunities which don't really need them to run ahead and then be off side.

2010 final was 1-0?

 

[GTracer98]

2010 final was 1-0?

Yeah, sorry. My fault. I confused it with UEFA 2012.

 

[jtv90069]

2010 final was 1-0?

Yes 1-0 in extra time.

 

[Dennisch]

Yes 1-0 in extra time.

I know that. I was gutted.

 

[GTracer98]

Stuntman goalkeeper!

 

[Stotty]

Shocking from the goalie there.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

That looked nasty, and I know its a bit late but what a sitter by Messi!!

 

[Peasantslayer]

How on Earth is that a Germany free-kick? It's either a collision where nobody is in the wrong or Neuer is given a card.

 

[Dennisch]

I have that eerie creepy feeling that this will become a game with a German ending. The whole match big chances and near misses for both sides and in the extra time: JAWOHL!!! TOR FÜR DEUTSCHLAND!!!!!

 

[Robin]

Germany 63% possession!

Surprising seeing how many near misses Argentina have had.

 

[Stotty]

I think Messi will score tonight.

More I watch this game, more I want Argentina to win... and I'm starting to think they just might do it.

 

[Dennisch]

That should have been a red for Neuer.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

In the UK, stop watching BBC and ITV because Sky Sports News have got Phil Brown watching it on a monitor.....offer we cant refuse...

Nasty one indeed. It was just a matter of time before Neuer tackled a player. He sure loves spending time outside of the penatly box.

 

[Stotty]

That should have been a red for Neuer.

Have to agree.

Sure, he got the all, but his knee was head high and he was a full pelt... not saying it was deliberate, but it was reckless. An outfield player would have got sent off for that straight away.

Terrible tackle and terrible decision.

You say that like it would be something bad.

Not a shocking move from Neuer, he was out sweeping a lot in earlier games. The referee have done some strange decisions this second half

 

[MUSC4EVER]

This is getting feisty now!

 

[Dennisch]

Well, it kinda is. Germans always take the win in the final seconds. I prefer the game to go as I stated before.
