It was a pretty dull match with both teams being very careful but somehow you got the feeling that this was more of an advantage for Germany.
Argentina's Lionel Messi failed to shine and Argentina did not have a single shot on target in the whole match.
Germany had few chances but where unable to convert them into goals and it took the sub Mario Gotze to come on and break the deadlock late into the second half of extra time.
For me it was more defending that lead to the goal but the BBC pundits where waxing lyrical about it being an amazing goal.
Yes it was a well taken goal but I don't think it would even be in my top five goals.
So Germany won the World Cup and it was well deserved but I don't like their style of football.
Which has very little to do with being entertaining and is more about being clinical and efficient.
But at they end of the day they won the World Cup so they must be doing something right.
