World Cup Finale: Germany vs Argentina

World Cup Finale: Germany vs Argentina

The 20th edition of the FIFA World Cup comes to a conclusion tonight at the famous Estadio Maracana in Rio de Janeiro with Argentina and Germany vying for football’s ultimate prize.

It’s been 28 years since Argentina beat Germany in a World Cup final at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca in Mexico, with Diego Maradona leading his nation to their second title in eight years.

At Italia ’90, Argentina was on the losing end via an 85th minute Andreas Brehme penalty-kick at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico, handing West Germany their third—and last—World Cup trophy.

The two football powers have met twice since—both occasions at the quarterfinal stage— with Germany winning in a penalty shootout on home-soil in 2006, before inflicting a humiliating 4-0 defeat to a Maradona managed La Albicelesteside four years later in South Africa.

This may be Messi and company's best opportunity to lift the World Cup, one they may never ever get. So all you Messi fans, just pray that Leonel the Magician is able to pull that bunny out tonight.
