The World Cup 2014 has been a wonderful event full of goals, new stars, old stars, upsets, upstarts, controversy and drama.\u00a0 It’s a tournament that’s given us a little bit of everything (except an Asian team winning a single game).\u00a0 But all good things must come to an end and this is it.\u00a0 Germany and Argentina.\u00a0 Few fans would argue that these two sides don’t deserve to be here.\u00a0 Germany of course made history with their first half demolition of Brazil in that <\/em> semi final.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Messi has been the star that Argentina so desperately needed him to be and he is one game away from assuming a place in Argentinian footballing folklore alongside Maradonna.\u00a0 Argentina vs Germany.\u00a0 Messi vs The Machine.\u00a0 Who will come out on top?<\/p>\n

2AM\u00a0 <\/strong>You have got to be kidding me.\u00a0 This game starts at 5am?\u00a0 Why did I think it started at 2?\u00a0 Goddammit.<\/p>\n

5AM\u00a0 <\/strong>Here we go!\u00a0 The stage is set.<\/p>\n

My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail<\/p><\/div>\n

5′ \u00a0<\/strong>Looks like both teams came to play and we won’t have a repeat of that terrible 2010 World Cup final which had 15 yellow cards and no football.<\/p>\n

10′\u00a0 <\/strong>Pretty intense.\u00a0 Germany with more possession but Argentina creating the chances<\/p>\n

20′\u00a0 <\/strong>A poorly timed back pass puts Higuain clean through on goal with no one near him but he panics and drags the shot wide.\u00a0 What a chance.<\/p>\n

25′\u00a0 <\/strong>Kramer gets poleaxed, picks himself up and plays on.\u00a0 Because FIFA are a terrible organization about ten years behind every other sport and they like to pretend that concussion is no big deal.<\/p>\n

27′<\/strong>\u00a0 …pretty awkward<\/p>\n

30′\u00a0 <\/strong>Kramer gets subbed<\/p>\n

\"krameroff\"<\/a><\/p>\n

35′\u00a0 <\/strong>How tightly are Germany marking Argentina?<\/p>\n

40′<\/strong><\/p>\n

38′\u00a0 <\/strong>GOOOOOOOOOOOO–offside.\u00a0 Poor Higuain \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 It was the right call though<\/p>\n

\"higuaine\"<\/a><\/p>\n

44′\u00a0 <\/strong>Germany hit the post!\u00a0 That’s the closest chance yet.\u00a0 It brings the Chancellor to her feet.<\/p>\n

\"merkel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

HALFTIME<\/strong><\/p>\n

As scoreless World Cup Final halftimes go, that was a pretty entertaining 0-0.\u00a0 Plenty of chances at both ends.\u00a0 The game has been tight but both teams came to play.\u00a0 Impossible to pick a winner.\u00a0 The pressure is immense.<\/p>\n

54′\u00a0 <\/strong>Higuain gets smashed in the face in the penalty area by a flying knee from Neuer.\u00a0 No penalty given.\u00a0 In fact, Germany are awarded a free kick.\u00a0 Huh?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

55′\u00a0 <\/strong>Sweet sun set<\/p>\n

\"sweetphoto\"<\/a><\/p>\n

57′\u00a0 <\/strong>Camera man likes it so much he goes back for a second look<\/p>\n

\"sweetphoto\"<\/a><\/p>\n

62′ \u00a0<\/strong>Messi has a quick spew<\/p>\n

\"Brazil-Soccer-WCup-Ge_Chas3-676x450\"<\/a><\/p>\n

75′\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>This happened<\/p>\n

\"streaker\"<\/a><\/p>\n

90′ \u00a0<\/strong>0-0 and off to extra time we go.\u00a0 Both teams look absolutely shattered so a goal wouldn’t surprise me.\u00a0 Don’t ask me who from though.<\/p>\n

113′\u00a0 GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL <\/strong>Goetze scores!\u00a0 And what a strike!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not quite according to script.\u00a0 It wasn’t from Messi, Klose or Muller as you’d expect.<\/p>\n

114′\u00a0 <\/strong>Argentina piling on the pressure in search of an equalizer…<\/p>\n

117′\u00a0 <\/strong>Tic toc…<\/p>\n

120′\u00a0 <\/strong>Messi with one final chance to equalize and have his moment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

FT\u00a0 GER 1 ARG 0<\/strong><\/p>\n

GERMANY ARE THE WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!!!<\/h1>\n
