Final - Germany vs. Argentina

He occupies the defenders - and that gives e.g. Müller more space. If Müller is on the 9 it is more difficult for him. And Schürrle is not the creator and Özil right now does not create. And it helps with set-pieces to have another player that can head a ball...

I don't think that's enough to justify his place in the starting line up, for the third consecutive match. Schuerrle and even Goetze, also he hasn't shown what he's really capable of, would offer so much more.
 
Why are the beeb pundit team all suited up? They've worn casual clobber all tournament, why change now, it's not like their handing the trophy overnight ffs.

Nice to see Rio sporting an oranje tie though!
 
I always get the impression listening to Beckham interviews that he doesn't really follow the current game. Very generic without saying much.
I get the feeling he just repeats what the interviewer says then briefly adds his own point, usually containing phrases such as "at the end of the day" and "without a doubt".

He probably struggles to embrace retirement, he doesn't have the qualities to do much else off the pitch in relation to football.
 
as an argie i want to win today but i think it will be an easy task for the germans

i'm guessing and -sadly- hoping for only a two goal difference for the germans and nothing more

please god don't let them score 7 like they did against brazil :nervous:

THAT would be embarassing!
Show some cojones Marcos
 
Thank Christ it's Hansen's last stand.
 
Does beckham still says , german have no stars and no talented players:D

e was always a pretty dull bloke, who's now been media trained into an uber-bland cypher.
 
Is anyone even watching this on ITV? The advert breaks are a big no-no for me, no chiles also ;p
 
Puyol getting towered there, don't let that bird anywhere near Messi.
