The fact that they were unsuccessful doesn't make the game bad in my book.
Trying to neutralize players like Van Persie, Robben, Higuain and Messi is good tactics, we have all seen what they can do when they get a couple square feet to play on.

And which game is more exciting to watch? Today's, with both teams on the offense, and lots of action? Or the game against the Netherlands, which consisted of 120 minutes safety play?

I do enjoy watching football.
So my answer will have to be both.
It is a game of nuances, circumstances and tactics.
This one is more attacking, I like that.
The other one showed supreme tactics and defensive control.
Both kept me entertained.

I'm goin' crazy over here!! 1-0 HOLD 'EM GERMANY!

Congrats to the German team, they played well and deserve this.
Darn it!

I can finally rest. What a game. Been waiting 24 years for this day. Yes.

4 STARS!!! 4 STARS!!

Congrats Deutschland!!! What a goal from Götze. Both teams played well but better won. Was almost too exciting to watch for me and wifey.
Messi surely was one of the best players of the tournament but totally nullified in this game. In Sailor scale Boateng and Romero were the best players of the game while Schweinsteiger was the one who took most of the shameful pain.

Now i have a problem. I have 2 years to spend until European championships. I'm wathing regularly Champions league from telly (specially Dortmund and Paris st Germains) and Finnish 1st division live (my wannabe-son-in-law plays at the local St.Karins team) but they are not the same.

Yes, thank you, I believe I WILL have another.
