I'm hoping for a Germany win 3-1.

Hope more than expectation as the chances are it'll be extra time and pens following a 1-1 draw.
 
How in the name of **** was Messi player of the tournament?

Rubbish.

Was it a vote or whoever the sponsors fancied meeting? Either way I can understand how it would end in Messi winning it even though it's clearly ludicrous. Possibly Neuer for me. Struggling to think of one truly outstanding performer though Rodriguez was obviously excellent but maybe didn't stay in the tournament long enough to justify it.
 
I got laughed at for saying this is the best world cup ever.

Memory's fade with time matth so the words "best world cup ever" are often muttered after each tournament. plus the fact that you're what, 23 or 24 years old so can only really judge the last three or four.

Like with most world cups, this one started well but faded in the latter stages. whether that is due to nerves or better opposition I don't know.
 
Classic ozil. Went missing and germs missed Khedira and Kramer when ozil moved there.
Gotze's finish was Aguero style, assist from Chelsea boy and big game player

Shame Aguero wasn't fit but GermS missed Gundo, Reus and khedira

always thought Gundo repped Turks unlike Ozil.. oh well..

But true - Germans missed so many good players but still went toe to toe..

Schurrle is the best EPL player in this World Cup!!

Incredible assist and did very well in his 90 mins in the final.
