What a snorefest. First game all tournament where I dozed off and on.

These games need an early goal to get things cracking.

Both teams concentrated on not losing instead of winning.

Hopefully there's an early goal by the Germans to bring Argentina out of their shell.

Yes.

I wanna see these two have some balls and attack FFS. I won't be able to stand another stalemate world cup final.

Of course Germany will attack. The question is whether Argentina will do likewise to allow some space or if they'll sit back and defend.

You could almost guarantee that Argentina will sit back and play on the counter.

They did a decent job of keeping Robben and RVP quiet. Wonder how they'll go against Germany's attack

To be fair though the Dutch didn't really play with much urgency or take any risks when attacking, they were clearly playing for the draw.

The Dutch were determined to turn it into a snooze-fest. Germany won't be so conservative.

Argentina have been immensely boring since the group stages. 1 goal in normal time and 1 in extra time. So in their games there have been a goal every 165 minutes. The Belgium game also had 3 shots on target total. People seem to think Messi and their exciting attackers means they play good football. There have been a few nice Messi passes and dribbles but those have generally resulted in nothing anyway.

Genuine Snoozfest, but understandable of the high stakes on offer, hope the final is a better spectacle.

I really like Argentina.

However the Craig Foster, Messi and Barcelona fan boys make it incredibly difficult to support them.

Hopefully the Germans win as they would be the deserved world champions and put the over rating of Messi on ice.
