Argentina with a free kick. This may be the last chance for Argentina. Messi to take. 25 meters. The weight of a nation on this.....

Messi's chance is wasted. Skyball into the stands.

Three Europen champions of the World Cup in a row: German 2014, Spain 2010, Italy 2006. A first for any continent.

I could get behind muller winning. RT @ched777 : Why not Schweinsteiger or Muller?
