Good game so far. Argentina should be ahead. Neuer doing a bit of a Schumacher ref gives him a free!

[Capt Pat]

The game goes into extra time unsurprisingly.

[J OGorman]

Both sides giving a masterclass in tackling

Messi cannot be firing on all cylinders

[clarshack]

Argies need to win in et here as you would fancy neuer to save at least 2 pens.

[J OGorman]

Germany may well nick this in the 2nd half of extra time as ageuro and messi are doing zero work in closing players down and inviting pressure on. The Argentine midfield will run out of puff

[imtommygunn]

Germany struggle without a striker though. All the possession and minimal enough chances.

Could haunt them.

[tyroneman]

Aguero has been brutal and Messi looks like he's phoning in his game.

Jav Masc  mom at the minute.

If you can get gaaboard you can get internet?? 1-0 germany. 3 to go. Goetze.

[Captain Obvious]

Well done to the Germans. Messi unable to step out of the world cup shadow of Diego Maradona.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Game lost by subbing Aguerro for Levetzi, who was having a great game.

[imtommygunn]

Best team won. Really without an effective striker too.

Good finish for goal. Higuan will have some sleepless nights.

[J OGorman]

Some goal to win it. Mascherano motm by a country mile. Ageuro not fit, Messi not well by the looks of it, JM really stood up and gave a peerless performance as a defensive midfielder. Some drive
Yer man with the wee tail who always came on as a sub for Argentina makes Fred look like Cruyff. Bucket of a player

[clarshack]

Argentina should have won it in 90 mins but Germany deserved it over the whole tournament. Agree about aguero sub he clearly wasn't fit. Messi not fit to lace maradona's boots.
