2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil - Live Blogging the World Cup: Germany 1-0 Argentina lyrics

11:00: It's D-Day! The day we have been waiting for is finally here. Germany take on Argentina at the Maracanã. 11:05: Reports suggest that Di Maria's injury may rule him out of the final. We'll keep you up-to-date on that one. 11:08: Follow us on Twitter! 12:19: Well, this is emotional. For the last time this World Cup...let's hear your predictions? 13:52: Both goalkeepers, Manuel Neuer and Sergio Romero are nominated for the Golden Glove, so here's a quick stat to compare their tournament so far. 13:59: Found this picture in my library! Absolute cla**. 14:11: Today marks a rare occasion in the UK where the World Cup final can be viewed on two different channels. 14:25: Make sure you stick around after the World Cup is over! 14:36: To get you as pumped up as possible for this one - the Google Doodle for the match! 14:48: Aww, Klose, ain't that cute? 15:55: Di Maria is confirmed to be out of the game, while Germany starts the same eleven from the past two matches. 15:56: Just kidding on Germany's starters - we have a change. 16:00: ...and we're off! May the best man win! 16:03: We have our first German free-kick and a chance to see that weird routine once more. 16:08: Remember, this is for the biggest prize in football... 16:11: We're just past the ten minute mark, and this is about as we expected. No clear cut chances; both sides picking their spot very carefully... 16:12: Rihanna's tweeting again, with support for Germany. 16:15: A poor corner from Toni Kroos - definitely not what we've come to expect from him. 16:18: Kramer back up on his feet, great to see. He's got Messi to mark, he doesn't want to be away for too long. 16:20: Oh no Higuain...what happened there? 16:25: 25 minutes in, still no score. 16:27: Earlier, we saw a short practise for the next venture of Neuer and Howedes. 16:29: Schweinsteiger gets the first yellow of the Final. 16:30: Higuain makes up for his mistake! Oh no, it's offside. Carry on. 16:31: Kramer's night comes to an early end as Schurrle is subbed on. 16:34: Well, things have picked up. Both teams are getting stuck in as Germany receive their second yellow of the match. 16:34: Messi's shot is blocked. Corner for Argentina. 16:37: Brilliant diving save from Romero - offside regardless but they are what we like to see! 16:39: Germany is awarded a throw in, but Argentina gets possesion. Long pa** to Messi, he gets an amazing chance, but Boateng clears it, from the goalline. 16:39: Muller to Ozil, then to Kroos. Kroos takes a shot but it's well caught. 16:47: Wow. Howedes should have put that one away, a post rattler! Muller was there for the rebound -- but the ref says offside. 16:48: A half full of chances (some better than others) but we head into half time 0-0. 16:52: Germany had 4 shots with 3 on goal, while Argentina had 3 shots, 1 on goal. (Other stats here!) 16:51: As we enter halftime, we found a gif that most will find amusing, but Brazilians will hate. 16:55: Please let Muller score one... 17:00: The second half will kickoff soon. This is a must-see! Turn on your tv, folks! 17:05: We're back with the second half! Sergio Aguero is subbed in for Ezequiel Lavezzi. 17:06: A tally of celebrities at the game: LeBron James, Shakira, David Beckham, Tom Brady, etc. 17:10: Messi has a great chance, but can't make it count! Very fine margins here! 17:11: That sunset tho... 17:15: Neuer off his line again, bashes into Higuain and gets the free-kick. 17:16: Never gets old, eh Paddy Power? 17:18: Klose gets a header on target, but it's simple for Romero. 17:21: A ball across goal and...Ozil puts it wide. 17:23: Mascherano lunges in and picks up a yellow for his troubles. 17:25: I understand there's a match on, but let's just take a moment to say R.I.P. to Paul the Octopus. 17:28: Good punch by Neuer. 17:29: You know earlier, when I said both teams were getting stuck in...well... 17:29: Schlurre couldn't hold on to the ball, and it's picked up. 17:31: The champ...is...here! 17:33: Messi's shot is off. Goal kick. 17:35: Still scoreless. 17:36: Higuain off - Palacio comes in in his place. 17:37: ...and am just sitting here! 17:39: Germans going down in the box, but nothing given by the ref. Probably for the best. 17:41: Ozil cuts it back, but Kroos puts his shot well wide! After his two goals against Brazil, this has been a very tame performance. 17:44: What are we Ghana do if this game heads into penalties? 17:45: Fernando Gago comes on. 17:47: Miroslav Klose makes way for Mario Gotze. The end of an era. 17:49: Apparently, there was a streaker. Could that be our very own Raphu in the pitch showing off her Genius? 17:53: The game is going to extra time. 17:56: Oh my God, the foam is proving it's useful for more than lines! 17:59: And the first period of extra time kicks off. 17:59: Amazing save, denying Germany an early goal. 18:04: Take a break from this exhilarating match to peep this shot of Christ the Redeemer. 18:04: Here's a fact for you - Spain's World Cup winning squad had 7 players from a Pep Guardiola managed team. Germany has 7 players from a... 18:08: Palacio gets a chance to give Argentina the lead and FAILS. 18:10: Germany continue to press, while Argentina continue to hold. It's going to take something special to separate these two. 18:14: Wow... [NSFW] 18:16: We're back out for the second half of extra time. With the way things are going, we may see penalties for the third time in World Cup Final history. 18:21: Schweinsteiger has been taken out for the thirty-fifth time this match. 18:25: WE HAVE LIFT OFF! GOTZE BREAKS THE DEADLOCK! YES, ALL CAPS ARE NECESSARY! (Gotze World Cup Stats) 18:30: Argentina throwing everything they have forward now, Neuer looks like he knows what he's doing though! Mertesacker is waiting to come on to add some more steel. 18:32: Muller with those silky smooth sk**s! 18:35: Messi steps up to take a free kick. All eyes on him. He runs up and...rockets it over the bar. Ouch. Germany are champions of the world! 18:49: The trophy ceremony is still to come, but that's another World Cup down! 18:57: Neuer comes up to put hands on his new golden gloves. 18:58: Messi looks more disappointed than you may expect after picking that up. 19:02: The German players are collecting their gold medals. 19:04: The greatest way for the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history Miroslav Klose to leave what is probably his last World Cup. 19:07: Victory. 19:08: More celebrations here! 19:09: Thanks for joining us once again - we hope you enjoyed it! Now the football is over, it's that long wait...for more football! I'll leave you with this.
