World Cup Final

GERMANY V ARGENTENA

MAGIC OF GOTEZ

The word cup final was a game of decisions more so than anything else in my opinion. The first one was the off side decision, which was right as he was clearly offside. The second was the volley hit by Gotez from a difficult angle in extra time.
The match itself was a game where there were a lot of balls going into the box but no one being able to get the touch on it to pull it away.
Mascarano was the defensive rock for Argentena as he was having a lot of quality clearances that no one could get near as the Germans had attacking shots and he was always wanting to get back and clear and as a midfielder he did more defensive work  than some quality defenders.
The Argentines where having the better of the chances during normal time but it did look like Germany were the better team.


BRAZIL V NETHERLANDS

SHOW THE DUTCH OF CLASS

Brazil had another bad night at the office and it all started at the start of the match as they conceded a bad penalty.  Scored by Van Persie.
The second goal was a quality volley by Blind that came in from a corner and Brazil did not know what to do with it so they got the ball out and Blind hit the volley to make it 2-0.
Brazil did have their chances during the match but there was nothing there that said to me that they could score and with players like Fred and Jo up front you can see why.
