Germany have a better tactical team than Argentina and Germany have had the best form at this World Cup. Argentina have world class super star Messi, comparable to Diego Maradonna. The pressure is on Messi to prove whether he is as good as Maradonna and lead Messi's Argentina to World Cup victory. Messi's Argentina loses and Messi will be regarded as a great player at club level but a failure at national level without guiding Argentina to World Cup victory.

He got them to the final already. Last I checked getting to the final isn't a failure.

 

It was all luck according to all of the Argentina haters  :)

Even though Argentina are the only team not to be behind in a game this tournament.

Germany tied Ghana 2-2, And narrowed by usa and went to extra time with Algeria.

So Germany wins this with ease today. lol just messing around.

I hate how the media isn't bringing up these results at all.

All that matters is beating a demoralised Brazil 7-1 and Portugal sucked to start with.

 

All of this from the media makes me want Argentina to win even more just to shut up the haters.

I hope Argentina wins today for that alone and Messi gets his moment.

I do have Germany winning 1-0 though.

It's not all about the result. It's how you play.

Germany dominated every game(except that first half against Algeria). If you play that controlled, victory is a question of time and not just luck.

Argentina however hardly controlled any game they were in. Their attack was flimsy and their defense competent but more due to their tactic rather than their skill.

That's why the media and anyone who watched the world cup sees Germany as the favorite. It might not mean that they actually win but they've presented themselves accordingly in this tournament to have earned the title of favorite.
