Rewind 6 months and I wouldn't have expected Demichelis and Boateng to be the two best players in a WC final. Both immense.

We never gave Boateng a chance at centre back did we. He 's no right back but he's been outstanding at centre back tonight.

Messi and Aguero have been mostly shit second half and injury time.

Kun lucky to not get a 2nd yellow some might say.

Cheers

Gago is such crap.

Jesus. Palacio a one trick pony with no end product either.

I don't want pens.

Guess I probably won't get them....fuck.

Deserved you've got to say. Argentina have struggled to get out of their half for long periods. Admittedly they've had three great chances for Higuain Messi and Palacio.

In the biggest game of his career, Messi has done nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The TEAM of the tournament deserved it in the end though feel sorry for the Argies especially Zaba n' Co.

Fantastic World Cup enjoyed every minute of it!

Well done Germany. Worthy champions. A quality group of young players who could well win more trophies. Any side winning a semi final in the manner they did deserves all the plaudits they get

You watch that final and you'd be hard pushed to say that Messi is anywhere near world class - that and his performance for Barca last season does make you wonder if his star has shone

Think the extra time in the semi and the day less rest showed against a powerful German side.

Worried about the effect it could have on our players. Zaba looks like he's about to smash up a BMW whilst Aguero looks like his world has fallen apart.
