Watching Messi cement his GOAT status by lifting the World Cup trophy for Argentina in the Maracana in Rio in Brazil will be legendary.

I say Germany comfortably but if Argentina win, Messi ensures himself in the Top 5 greatest players of all time along with Pele, Maradona, Cruyff and Zidane.

I think it's Germany's time though! would be great for Mert, Pod and Ozil's confidence

Two teams I loathe in the final. if pushed to decide, i'll pick the broke Falkland lovers over the other team.

Depends on Messi's performance IMO. If he manages to turn up they'll win, but if he plays like his last two game I see can see another 7-1 happening.

Germany/Argentina III

The footballing parallel of Rock/Austin III. The greatest World Cup rivalry between two nations and they've headlined two World Cups before.

The last two World Cups have seen Argentina come to a halt against Germany. Only this time, it's against in-his-peak Lionel Messi and for World Cup 2014, Messi seems to be the man of destiny.

It's going to be Epic.

[Cripps]

Hope it's better than the 1990 final.

Come in Germany and come on football.

Per to start and keep Lio in his pocket the whole game

One is entitled to express dislike of other teams.

Absolutely! But it is obnoxious and backhanded to use a historically sensitive event, which has caused the deaths of many, as an allegory of your proposed dislike for a team. Holding an opinion is fine; deliberately using a precarious political situation to rub it against a footballing nation is cheap and tacky.
