In about 6 hours we will know which of the 2 teams will succeed the Spaniard and will be at the top of the world for the next 4 years.
In recent years, Germany has reached the source but has not yet tasted the nectar of success. The last 4 major events have reached the semifinals, but 2 has been ruled out by the Italians (2006,2012 in semi-finals) and 2 by the Spaniards (2008,2012 ).
He has the best 11 of the World Cup with almost all of his players having performances from big fights and big events. Leb will not change the semifinals of the semi-finals who have humbled 7-1 in Brazil. So far 5 has won and one draw against Ghana to the groups.
On the other hand, Argentina wants to return to the top after 28 years and Messi to walk in the footsteps of Maradona. In this year's World Cup, although it does not impress with its appearances it gets the results. So it has 5 wins (all with 1 goal difference) and a white draw against the Dutch in the semifinals, where he went into the penalty shootout with 4-2. According to the latest information, De Maria will not be ready and Sabeya will come down with 11 in the semi-final against the Dutch.
2 teams have competed in the 2 final quarter-finals, with the Germans taking 2 times as well. 2006 has won 5-3 with 1-1 and 2010 4-0.
Also, 2 teams have competed in 2 finals. 1986 in Mexico Argentina had won the Germans with 3-2, while 1990 the Germans had been rematch thanks to a controversial penalty over Klisman who turned Bredem into a goal.
For me, the Germans are a clear favorite and I believe their superiority in the center with the Kroner-Kroes and Schwestagger will judge the match. On the other hand, the Argentines have come to an end after 24 years but somewhere there is their ceiling.
