This Germany team deserved to win based on how they played in the tournament.

At least Brazilians can rest easy knowing that their biggest rivals didn't win the tournament in their backyard.

Going in I thought Brazil would stumble as the tournament got to the semifinals. They seemed a little overrated and inexperienced. Come Russia 2018 they better be singing a different tune.

Final prediction:

Germany 1, Argentina 0 (Extra Time)

Good call.

I picked Germany from the very beginning (I had them beating Holland, though), so I'm happy with this. I'm just SO glad it didn't go to PKs. Seeing the championship game of the world's biggest soccer tournament end on carnival games would've been a terrible way to end a great tournament. That'd be like the Super Bowl ending on a field goal kicking contest.

Now it's almost time for the Timbers Sounders game tonight in Seattle, right as my soccer interest is at its peak. Can't ask for better timing than that!

Well, I was wrong. I thought when it got to extra time, Germany might blow it again, but they didn't. They cleared the last hurdle. I picked the Argentines, and I can admit when I don't get it right.

On the flip side- How much blame you gonna assign to the Argentine goalie on the goal?

1 goal given up in 4 games and it's the one you couldn't give up.

That goal wasn't the goalies fault, it was his defenses fault for putting him in that position, me may have leaned the wrong way, but when it's that close you cant react in time and just try and predict where the ball will go.

What a massive win by Die Nationalmannschaft today. Picking up their fourth World Cup in great fashion with a beautiful chest down and volley goal by Götze in ET. I picked Deutschland from the beginning because of the weapons they have on the team. And the fact that they play as a team. This could be the start of a long run by the team.

Deutschland Deutschland Deutschland!

Ich glaube!

Weltmeister 2014!
