World Cup Final 2014
in the 2014 World Cup final,
Mario
Gotze's extra-time winner
against Argentina, ensured
Germany were crowned
world champions for the fourth time!
Gotze demonstrated perfect technique
and commendable
calm to chest down
Andre Schurrle's pass and sweep in
a left-foot finish
with the prospect of
a penalty shootout only seven minutes away.
Argentina, with skipper Lionel Messi
looking subdued
despite flashes of his talent,
could not respond and Germany claimed
their first World Cup since they beat
the same opponents in Rome 24
years ago.
The success means Joachim Low's side
have become the first European team t
o win the trophy in South America.
Third place decider!
Brazil's World Cup campaign came
to a miserable end as the hosts
were
convincingly beaten by the Netherlands
in the third-place play-off.
Goals from Robin van Persie, Daley Blind
and Georginio
Wijnaldum
condemned Brazil to back-to-back defeats
on home soil for the
first time since 1940,
following Tuesday's embarrassing 7-1 loss
to Germany in the semi-final.
As an added insult, the hosts must now watch on
as
their fiercest rivals Argentina
take on Germany for the chance to win
the World Cup at Brazilian football's spiritual home,
the Maracana, on
Sunday.
