What this entire tournament has shown is that whoever Artzeman backs, inevitably loses. The man is a total and utter Jonah. I'm hoping he's backing the Argies for the final. I can't see anything other than a Germany win.
Both the Argies and the Krauts are strong in defense. It won't be as dirty as the 1990 final but it could be as sterile. Germany will win it and probably win it with the usual Tuetonic efficiency 1-0, or it will be 0-0 after 120 mins and Germany will win the penna shoot out.
Or Germany could turn it on again and smash the goals, but Argentina are just a little bit better organised at the back than Brazil. I think my work 5 a side team is better organised at the back than Brazil!
Either way the end result should be a German win. (unless the Germany that played Ghana or Algeria turns up).
And so my prediction of a 1-0 Germany victory came to pass, perhaps not in the circumstances I expected as I expected better defense and less opportunities from both side.
However no shot on target from the Argies, first time in a final since Argentina in 1990.
You have to respect the way Germany deal with tournaments. First world cup since 1990 but they always give a good show of themselves and are at the business end of a competition.
Why can't England replicate what Germany do / have been doing for so many years. Is what they dod in the background and in the bundeslega so different to the prem?
