The Germans Deservedly Rule the World Again

Four years ago, the World Cup final was stuck in a similar scenario as last night. Then Andres Iniesta scored a late goal in the second ET half of extra time to win it for Spain, this time it was Mario Gotze who scored wonder goal for the Germans.
Germany were by far the best team of the competition and deservedly rule the world again, for the fourth time in the history.
Argentina knew that they cannot take the Kaisers head on in attack and Sabella had his tactics spot on from the first minute.
The South Americans set up an organized defense to stop German surge from the center and the Europeans mainly had to work their way out from the flanks. Moreover, Argentina played an effective counter attacking football.
As expected, Germany dominated possession with Schweinsteiger pulling the strings in the central midfield but Argentina had the better chances.
Higuain failed to bury his one on one chance early in the first half. Messi found an opening he normally scores with Barcelona but shot wide and Palacio had a brilliant chance to settle the game in extra time.
However, it had to be Germany to finally provide the killer blow. Argentina back-line went to sleep for a moment and Gotze took advantage by losing his marker, controlled Schurrle’s ball and scored a sublime goal worthy of winning any game.
Germans held on in the dying minutes. Argentina’s last hope was from a 30 yard set piece but Messi blew it away with a terrible free kick.
Having lost 3 major semi-fianls and two finals in the last 12 years, it is about time that the Kaisers become world champions.
A fitting way to end a legendary career for Miroslav Klose, however, this squad is ready to rule world football in the years to come.
Congratulations Germany – The World Champions
