World Cup 2014: Argentina Vs Germany Statistic analysis and Prediction

Argentina

The clash of the titans will happen in less than 5 hours. No matter the result, new history would be made. For Germany, this is their 8th time playing in the finals, making them the team with the most number of final games played. Argentina on the other hand, will need to win this after a 18 year drought of the World Cup. Especially for Messi, there is no meaning in being compared to Maradona, without a World Cup in his tally.

Prediction: Argentina.

Germany is the favourite, but Argentina will not let their guard down. They are a menace in attack and solid in defence. Germany might have won Brazil 7-1, but they have to recognize this is the match that matters. I felt that the players already thought they won the World Cup with all the unnecessary comments they are giving the press. Underestimating Argentina will be a grave mistake. Looking forward to a wonderful match tonight!
