At the last World Cup Germany beat Argentina 4-0.
On the pitch Germany just come across as far more stronger and organised than Argentina and I think they will win the final comfortably.
Now that I have said all that I fully expect the opposite of what I said to occur...

How about the Dutch tonight. Do you reckon they'll hand out another whipping for Brazil?
No. The Dutch don't care about this match and Brazil have a point to prove. I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil won.
I've a strong hunch the Brazilians will win. They've lost only one home match since 1975 (on Tuesday of course) and I don't see them losing two in a row.
In theory, yes but I think Germany are a much better side than the Belgian and Dutch ones that Argentina faced. Germany have scored in every match so far and the Argentinians will have a job keeping them at bay.
Holland depend so much on Robben, and I can't see him being too bothered running around (and diving around) too much for this one.
Draw or Brazil win, leaning towards the Brazil win.
talking of which, no thread for the 3rd place game tonight ?
I think Brazil will be bothered enough not to lose. They've lost only one competitive game at home in 40 years.....they won't want to lose a second one.
Scolari looks set to stay on by the way.
They did fight back against Ghana though when 2-1 down and are the only one of the four semi finalists not to have gone through a penalty shoot out this year.
That's got to be a joke. Not only is this the last match for him as Brazil's manager, he will have to emigrate somewhere far in order to get another job.
Spain 2010 were a far better team than the current Argentinian one though. They kept winning their matches by only 1-0 but they were a fantastic side.
You haven't been following today's news then. The incoming president of the Brazilian FA says he wants him to stay and Scolari says he wants to keep his job too.
That's got to be a joke... Surely? :eek:
I always thought Scolari was a terrible coach even when he won the WC in 2002. He had a team of superstars who won it for him and even then Brazil weren't playing as a team.
He has been useless with all his teams ever since 2002.
Not at all. I see Neymar's agent has launched a blistering attack on Scolari describing him as a useless coach but it actually appears as if he is staying on.
Messi, maybe?
Higuain has shown really flashes of skill in this tournament too.
