Miroslav Klose has scored more World Cup goals than any other player in history and as many as the entire current Argentinian squad (16).

This will be the third World Cup final between Germany and Argentina. They met in successive finals in 1986 and 1990, with each team lifting the title (3-2 Argentina in 1986, 1-0 Germany in 1990).

Germany definitely deserves to win, but I would still like to see Messi win a World Cup #onthefence

by Joe Lucas via twitter 7/13/2014 6:37:19 PM
Messi doesn't need to score at Estadio Maracaná to be up there with Maradona in World Cup history. But he needs to help Argentina win.

by mrkwx via twitter 7/13/2014 6:37:27 PM
Is there a player in world football who rises to the occasion better than Thomas Muller? Man for the big games.

I want Argentina to win strictly because of Messi. However, it will be the Nail in the coffin to Brazil if their biggest rivals win the cup.

by Bazingggga via twitter 7/13/2014 6:51:56 PM
Argentina is Messi's team, but I think this game comes down to Mascherano's performance, and his ability to hang with Toni Kroos.

by themikefoss via twitter 7/13/2014 6:53:28 PM
Picked Argentina to win it from the start of the World Cup! C'mon Messi 🙌 #ARG

Biglia + Klose embrace in tunnel… #Laziali

by Gabriele Marcotti via twitter 7/13/2014 6:53:40 PM
So, I said Germany to win before it began. I stick with that. 2-1 to Germany. Klose & Ozil for Germany, Lavezzi for Argentina. #GERARG

And here we go... the German national anthem

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 FootballFanCast 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...
