Germany is is starting to look like they are getting their chances now. That Argentina defense is being vulnerable in the counter.

Getting a bit chippy out there. Both teams fouling and snapping at one another.

Frustration building.

Messi nowhere near has dominant when not in a team that doesn't have lots of possession.

He is t even trying to get in place to receive the ball.  This is very strange behaviour. I m certainly missing something....

Looking like extra time again.

If so - Argentina in extra time in final, semi final, scored one early goal in quarter final then defended for 80 minutes, extra time again in last 16. Barely scraping by. Not convincing.

Nice to see Enzo Perez getting a nice reception as he comes off. He made a big contribution for someone who wasn't in first 11 to open the tournament. Made some crucial contributions with his hark work and defense. Surprise player.

Gago on. He is their best passer in CM. Hopefully he can help trigger an attack.

Great reaction from crowd as Klose comes off.

16 world cup goals. Four tournaments = Runners up. Twice 3rd place. 1st place today? Klose to finish with all WC medals. Bronze (x2), Silver and Gold.

I hope this doesn't go to penalties. Finals should not end on penalties.

They should have replays in a few days time instead.

I think Germany should bring on Draxler shortly. Fresh legs to run at tired defenders.

Both teams have strong records and reputations in penalty shootouts.

Schurrle needs to play more centrally. Not getting anything against Zabaleta.
