Man what a great final.
It really came down to subs. Schurrle made the run (he has a great work rate) and Mario with the finish. Argentina brought on Palacio and Aguero and neither could produce. I thought Lavezzi had an excellent first half and was surprised when he was the one taken off at the half. Di maria would have been a big help but no Khedira was big also.
The chances argentina missed
Higuain - just put it on frame good lord. STAY ONSIDE!!!
Palacio - what were you doing? goalie is coming out...ball is bouncing perfectly...you are a professional footballer...lob it over him, win the world cup.
Messi - had one good chance. Other then that you could tell he was trying too hard at times. He knew he had to be the guy. He dribbled a lot more then you normally see him do for barca
Congrats to Germany though. Outstanding finish by Gotze and great defense and goalie play all game Boeteng made some great tackles to stop the counters
