Hosts against the high flying Argentina

So here it is match worth of a final itself. Hosts Germany vs. high flying Argentina, repeat of Italia’ 90 final. This match has everything a host team which is in form upto against a team which probably has played best football so far in this competition. Unlike cricket, in football being host seems to help the teams previous world cups are pretty much support this theory. But on paper Argentina have a slight edge because of their depth in squad and their playing style. Though they were exposed by Mexico and I am sure Juergen Klinsmann must have studied that match, each second of it. Another thing which gives Argentina the edge is Germany’s weak links which are their center backs and I am sure Argentina will definitely try to exploit the weakness.

So lets see if hosts can ride on the football fever which has gripped the country and repeat Italia’ 90. oh just saw footage of Argentinean squad hahaha each and everyone was dancing, singing and were banging bus floor. So lets now move to Berlin and witness one of the match of the tournament.
