And a natural LB who was impressive last season in Durm sits on the bench. Smh.

Yeah, it's almost like the manger doesn't know what he's doing. :rolleyes:

Loving this final. Gwan Argentina!

That_Guy

Save!!

Billy86

He's not a good all around goalie, but Romero has been a very solid shot stopper on this tournament.

Cienciano

For a 0-0 and a final, this is a great game.

niallo27

Messi has absolutely no interest in tackling or even trying to win the ball back.

He's not doing badly for a guy who only played a handful of games last season

I do like Derm and the should get him in more regularly right after the WC, but this isn't the game to bring in a guy who just went 22 a few weeks ago and only had a single international cap.

CountyHurler

This is about 100% better than I thought it would be ...

Lapin

39 minutes gone already.

This half is flying by.

Good final this.

That_Guy

5 mins til half time. Absolutely flown by. Best WC final ever?

Bit of a shay given about him.

Yeah, the same manager who persisted with Lahm at CM for the past year.

Rolleyes.

I'm a big Messi fan, but I finally think his ego is hampering his play

Lapin

Argies should be two up now.

More energy for those mazy runs like that one just there

That_Guy

Bloody hell. What a game.

ollaetta

Messi on Hummels. Only one winner there.

2006 was great.

Guy:Incognito

Swap Lahm onto Messi maybe?

Agent Coulson

Just glad Howard Webb isn't the ref this year.

bicboy6666

**** off rojo, that boy is dung.

CFlat

The Germans are looking very nervey.

Harry Angstrom

Schurrle you can't be serious?

Durm should have been given a chance at LB well before Howedes did.

Fair enough he's not doing it in this game but he was a one man army in the group stage

_Kaiser_

Good man the ref trying to keep things flowing and calming things down rather then reaching for the cards

He just doesn't understand the DM role he's been selected to play.

markfla

The north Koreans are running rings around Portugal tonight

Turtyturd

Messi killing Hummels out there, and I thought he would be a lot more solid than Mertesacker.

Bacchus

Argentina defence dealing with everything so far. Looking solid at the back.

First game he scored, but probably the worst Messi performance I've ever seen, he was woeful.

Washington Irving

Decent chance for Kroos

Guy:Incognito

Did Hamilton just say this is only the first Italian to ref a final since Collina in 02? How often does he think Italians should be given the final? Theres only been 2 between then and now and Italy were in one of them.

efb

Nice footwork from Özil

I can't believe Dunphy was rubbishing them so much.

Not playing there now is he?

CountyHurler

The referee looks like yer man Darren Holden from paddwhackery trad band The High Kings..

Will I Amnt

Hospital pass from Mascherano, got away with one there.

letowski

If there is going to be a goal for Germany, it's odds on it's going to come down the right flank through Lahm.

The Argies really need to stop Lahm consistently getting in forward positions. It will cost them.

I think he's having a great game. Far better than in the semi-final anyway.

Lord TSC

FFS, feels like the Germans don't want to score...

briany

Germany starting to look a bit dangerous as this first half draws to a close, but the Argentines easily win it on points so far. Just need goals.

Will I Amnt

What a chance!! Should have buried it.

Iused2likebusts

Hummells needs to take that parachute of his back at half time.

Boom__Boom

POST !

Guy:Incognito

How the **** did he miss that?

Chagan

Christ!
