And it's the Argentines' turn. No cheeky Thomas Muller-esque wink from Messi...

Christ, it's the World Cup final and none of the #ARG players are bothered singing their anthem!

Christoph Kramer coming in for his FIRST international start. In the World Cup final. At the Maracana. Madness.

1 MIN: And Germany kick us off in the 20th World Cup final!

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:00:38 PM
Imagine having your first competitive start for your country in the World Cup final. I'm bricking it just thinking about it. #Kramer

by Paddy Power via twitter 7/13/2014 7:01:38 PM
A measured start from Germany, who work the ball around patiently before Muller is hauled down by Rojo on the edge of the box...

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:02:58 PM
Bad foul on Muller. Actually could’ve had a shot.

by Sashreekh via twitter 7/13/2014 7:03:18 PM
CLOSE! Higuain fires an effort across the goal. It goes out for a German throw-in, but don't let that fool you... decent effort from the Argentine...

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:04:43 PM
Higuain u aint beating Neuer from there, knock it off

by Star_Stef via twitter 7/13/2014 7:05:07 PM
Ozil is probing well so far for Germany and he's found himself in some decent spaces.Watch this space...

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:05:51 PM
More Argentina pressure down the right, with Philip Lahm given all the time in the world to whip a dangerous looking ball into the box. Threatening, but no-one was busting a gut to get on the end of it...

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:08:03 PM
First threatening burst from Messi, though he can't complete the cutback...

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:09:04 PM
MESSI IS GOD

by Pili :) via twitter 7/13/2014 7:09:08 PM
Messi is gonna tear that back line. Give it a few more runs

by Don Bowli via twitter 7/13/2014 7:09:16 PM
This time it's Zabaleta raiding down the right. Argentina starting to create now. We have a game on our hands!

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:10:52 PM
Apparently there was stunned silence in the #GER camp when the injury meant Kramer was starting. You Khedira pin drop.

Howedes, Masch and Zabaleta, some fine receding hairlines in this final. If only 2006 Cambiasso was involved.

by piercy360 via twitter 7/13/2014 7:12:24 PM
Messi, Zabaleta... Forces.

by JeSeraiLaReine via twitter 7/13/2014 7:13:12 PM
Hummels appears to be carrying a piano on his back.

by Gary Lineker via twitter 7/13/2014 7:13:53 PM
Klose gets hacked from behind, earning the Germans a free-kick in a DANGEROUS looking area. Toni Kroos stands over it...

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:14:37 PM
... he whips it towards the far post, but Zabaleta is all over it and clears

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:15:05 PM
Perhaps HD isn’t that great after all. Don’t think we would have been able to make out the zit on Kroos’s nose without HD!

by TheBigOz via twitter 7/13/2014 7:15:29 PM
Kroos' set pieces are accurate, great player

by #GERMANY via twitter 7/13/2014 7:15:33 PM
Kramer has taken a horrible-looking knock in the head from Zabaleta. That's got to hurt.

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:17:53 PM
Ouch kramer

by Stiven Jerat via twitter 7/13/2014 7:17:57 PM
Kramer looked out on his feet.

by BrevetCaptain via twitter 7/13/2014 7:18:01 PM
He's back on his feet and about to re-enter play. Looks a little unsteady though...

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:18:49 PM
Nasty hit!

by Football Vines via twitter 7/13/2014 7:20:18 PM
The ref caught himself on the big screen and used it as a chance to sort his hair out!

by Football Vines via twitter 7/13/2014 7:20:30 PM
SHOCKER! Higuain has somehow managed to get himself in on goal, he's got all the time of the world to nestle beyond Neuer and he shanks it wide!

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:21:18 PM
That's an extraordinary mess...

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:21:34 PM
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE SITTER FROM HIGUAIN.

by ansi89 via twitter 7/13/2014 7:21:38 PM
Higuain pulled a Torres

by John Luke Mantikas via twitter 7/13/2014 7:21:42 PM
Higuain with an incredible miss

by Football Vines via twitter 7/13/2014 7:21:58 PM
Higuain will be having nightmares about that one for the rest of his days...

by Europcar via Snack Media 7/13/2014 7:22:42 PM
Top drawer from Romero! Schurrle looks to smash the ball into the top corner following Muller's cutback but the keeper is equal to it... flying across the goal to palm away.
