I agree with what Borusse said however, it won't be easy. But I think this Cup is destined for Germany. I was very pessimistic prior to the tournament but have felt so since the first game. I think Germany will win it in 90 minutes.

I was confused when I saw that I could vote for a draw haha.

The way Argentina played today you may as well vote for a draw: that's what they played for.

Undoubtedly. I was very happy it went to penalties. Remember they also have 24 hours less rest.

This match now looks more pointless.....other than risking some more dirty fouls from the Argies as a revenge for the lost final, I don't see the any sense. Remember the fouls on Basti ?
Germany tend to let their foot off the gas during friendlies and if this ends in a loss, then the haters will come out once more saying that we got lucky, referee help etc etc.
I only hope that the outcome will not be another Reus.

He probably will. He is sensible when it comes to such matters.

The match is a test for the Euro 2016 qualifiers. Germany play their first qualifier at home to Scotland 4 days later.

I'm wondering who'll shoulder the burden of filling the gaping hole that is the absence of Lahm. Probably Antonio Rüdiger.

I wonder whether Hummels will play, he hasn't played a single minute this season.

I'm just gonna go ahead and post this:

From our players, I hope only Gotze plays. The other guys need rest.

I'm not upset though, Hummels got it, so it's all good.
