World Cup Final: Germany Beats Argentina 1-0 in Extra Time

An exceptional World Cup comes to an end! What a roller coaster it has been! 64 games and a 171 goals later, Germany are standing with the coveted trophy in their hands. Apart from the winners, the tournament has seen a host of sub-plots, from a few underdog stories to Brazil's resounding loss that derailed the World Cup dream. The tournament that gave the World a young superstar in Colombia's James Rodriguez , also witnessed a 31-year-old Arjen Robben perform to his best and help Netherlands reach the semis. In contrast, Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portugal side faded away with a group stage exit and England were sent packing early. Messi did well to guide his side till the final but failed to score in the final and ended on the losing side. His consolation prize was the Golden Ball but he did not look one bit elated after what transpired in the 120 minutes of football.
Mario Goetze volleyed in the winning goal in extra time to give Germany its fourth World Cup title with a 1-0 victory over Argentina on Sunday.Handshakes and hugs all round, from that clown Blatter and the German chancellor Angela Merkel. Medals are handed out. Some incredibly bad music booms from the PA. Thankfully it's turned down, just before Phillipp Lahm is handed the trophy. He snatches it off Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff, who had in turn been given it by some other Fifa waste of space, and goes back to meet the rest of his team before rising the World Cup into the Rio air! At which point the music is turned on again, and fireworks go off, but no amount of Fifa mishandling is going to ruin the German party!The First Prize 250 crores Got the Germany.
