I think Argentina will win, via some brilliance from Messi. It's his time.
But hopefully Merts, Ozil and Poldi come back home as winners.
This thread started before the Third Place Playoff one? :faint:
Who gives a fuck about Messi?
Germany will bring organised, efficient and disciplined teamwork. But where Argentina lack balance, they can make up for it with their flair and attacking talent and personality. Their pace on the counter will be tough to handle and when you've got a player like Messi, well, you've always got a chance. Rio, you've played against him, how would you go about stopping a player like messi?
Well before the champions league final, Sir Alex just told us 'you've got to kick him'. There's not much else you can do re...
Everyone can just fuck right off. 2-0 Germany.
I really don't know why they have that game. I can't begin to remember whether we won the 3rd place play off in 1990, I couldn't give a monkeys either way.
I can't imagine a nation in mourning after their mauling the other day will be that bothered whether they finish 3rd or 4th.
Messi's world cup this one tbh.
Will pretty much cement his place as GOAT. :bow:
Also, I really despair for BFG here. Can certainly see him struggling against the blistering pace of the Argentine attack.
2-1, Messi brace, Muller from an Özil assist.
3-0
Ozil, Mertesacker, Podolski.
CL final is next year tbf.
Argentina team is shit. They have three good players- Aguero, Messi and Di Maria. Di Maria is dead, Aguero is injured, so that leaves Messi. Bayern Mk 2 will easily take care of that crap team. If Germany dont win this WC, then it'll be a huge upset.
Would love to see our three win the world cup and you have to say Germany have been the best team in the tournament. I'd also like to see Messi win it knowing that it would put him up there with the worls best ever players as well as make Cristina Ronaldo feel like crap.
Germany will be confident AND fresher than the Argies but a world cup final is not like any other game and i can see it being very tight and possible going to pels.
Ozil, Podolski, Mertesacker vs Aguero, Zabaleta, Demechilles
It's basically an Arsenal vs Man City final.
Winner wins the league next season. :coffee:
I think i must have been tabbing this morning because it looked for the life of me that you'd written i remember when we won the third place play off....but that's clearly not what you wrote at all.
My opinion is that the match exists simply because FIFA thinks it looks out of place to have an odd amount of games in a tournament....either that or because certain olympic events have a play off match for Bronze (like football and tennis).
To be fair it is a glorified friendly match, but because neither team cares who wins i am quite looking forward to the match because i reckon there should be goals from both teams and i don't care who wins either.
I put money on Argentina to win the tournament so i don't have that luxury in the final.
No i just remember the match even at the age of six, i was quite confused at the time as i didn't understand why we were playing another game after being knocked out of the tournament.....i think my feeling hasn't changed that much.
Germany have been third placed team in the last two world cups, then it was Turkey, then Croatia, then Sweden, then Italy...then i am too young to remember.
Last game left now. Fuck :(
Couple more key signings and we are out of business and back into football.
Excellent - the studio mugs have all tipped the argies for a win.
Germany :trophy:
I think I don't want Argentina to win it, simply so Messi won't win it (will still get a go in the next one mind...). Not because I don't like him, but there's something poetic about not quite achieving everything there is to achieve. Kind of like Bradman's 99.94 average.
Predictions for tonight guyz?
I'm going for 1-0 Argies.
3-0 Ze Germans
2-0 Germans with the Argies bricking up the goal, pouring wet concrete on the pitch and using Superman to fly fast around the planet to slow down time to a snail's pace.
Has to be the Germans, the dirty Argies deserve nothing after their boring anti-football antics.
Come on Germany
Germany to win it
BBC or ITV then ? :lol:
