If Argentina sit back and try to wait for Germany to make a mistake, it might well backfire. I can't see them winning unless they're extremely efficient on the counter, so I say 2-0 to Germany.

I wouldn't be shocked if Argentina grind a win..

Brazil's loss was just as much their schoolyard positioning and tactics as Germany's superiority. How many times did Marcelo push up and leave an ocean of space for Germany to take advantage of? It was an automatic 3 v 3 for most of the first half goals. im curious to see if Germany get frustrated vs Argentina.

With that said.. It's Germany's to lose.

Was sure Germany would win x Argentina before semis.
But Argentina showed against the Dutch the kind of shut down game that can match a better team.

Germany still favorites IMO

Argentina are build nicely to counter Germany imo. Germany are clearly favorites, they are the standout team in this tournament, but the Algeria game in particular showed that they can have difficulties breaking down very well organised teams, and Argentina are very well organised defensively. They haven't conceeded in the knockouts yet mind you, and that's against imo, very good attacking teams.

Argentina also have very fast attackers which imo is something that can force Germany to change how they play (Although Neuer has been outstanding all tournament, and all year really, as almost a sweeper)

Definitely would call the Germans lucky if both Silva and Mascherano miss their games.

di maria will make the game and I haven't seen anything concerning mascherano, silva was an idiot.

considering they lost their best player to injury right before the tournament, and others like gundogan, lars and sven bender, I would say germany have been anything but lucky.

----------

anyways this is a 50/50 game, I don't know how germany's weak defense will deal with messi and co. argentina proved to be compact and very solid against holland.

Kun Aguero is going to dominate this match and deliver the title to Argentina.

It's my bold prediction.

Germany is overall stronger, but I hope Argentina takes it...

Aguero-Higuain-Messi is so dangerous.. and with Mascherano and Di Maria in midfield, they can certainly score if they gel (which they havent)....

We will see...

i would prefer it went to round 30 of penalties. it then gets discovered that the guy who took round 22 of grmany wasnt legal, then argentina wins by judicial fiat.

Germans are too generic for me. :o

Boateng - Hummels - Howedes
Lahm - Schweini - Kroos - Fodder
Muller - Klose - Schurrle

3-4-3 sweg

Brazilians will never hear the end of it if Argentina wins.

Messi will reach an untouchable pedestable if argentina win. Feel sad for cristiano. He will be relegated to being the "other guy". Always looking from the outside in.

Not like messi has anything to prove anyway. But then there will always be prepubescent detractors who will keep saying "he aint that great cuz he never performed for country... Always needs xaviesta herp derp".
