Germany and Argentina will play today for the right to be crowned 2014 World Cup Champions. Germany has won 3 World Cups to Argentina's 2. I have no preference here, if Germany win I'd like Müller to be the hero, and if Argentina win I'd love to see Messi take his place in the pantheon by being the reason. If you need any background on why this is big you're not watching sports right. So let's all have a great Final, yell "HOLY gently caress" and "hahahahahaha" a lot and see who wins.

I felt bad about closing the's thread so I pasted his OP as well. Also it's my last day, TRP's been great, continue making it a funny place to chat about football. :)



It has come to this.

The headlines all read "Messi vs. The Machine."



Germany
Coming off their historic 7-1 thrashing of the hosts. They've had an extra day to prepare, didn't exert themselves much in their semifinal, and have shown little weakness throughout the tournament.



Argentina
Played a grueling 0-0 against the Netherlands that went to extra time and penalties, losing an extra day of rest. And their trophy hopes seem to rest on the shoulders of one man who hasn't looked his best as of late.

Referees
Nicola Rizzoli (ITA)
Renato Faverani (ITA)
Andrea Stefani (ITA)
Carlos Vera (ECU)

Betting Odds
Germany 13/10
Argentina 13/5

Regardless of what happens, this has been the most memorable World Cup in memory. So many crazy and amazing things have happened. Here's hoping the final lives up to what's happened so far. Cheers!

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Reminder there is £300 of gooncash at stake on this match.

this entire World Cup has wildly exceeded my highest expectations, the technical skill and pace on display has been at the most insane level and very little of it has disappointed at all. I remember feeling a slight letdown after the second round of quarter final matches and then boom, Germany v Brazil

Messi will def do something amazing but it's been so easy to cut off his supply, especially if khedira has another monster game.
