This is what it all comes down to! The last World Cup game for four years – let’s go out with a bang!
11:00: It's D-Day! The day we have been waiting for is finally here. Germany take on Argentina at the Maracanã.
11:05: Reports suggest that Di Maria's injury may rule him out of the final. We'll keep you up-to-date on that one.
11:08: Follow us on Twitter!
12:19: Well, this is emotional. For the last time this World Cup...let's hear your predictions?
13:52: Both goalkeepers, Manuel Neuer and Sergio Romero are nominated for the Golden Glove, so here's a quick stat to compare their tournament so far.
13:59: Found this picture in my library! Absolute class.
14:11: Today marks a rare occasion in the UK where the World Cup final can be viewed on two different channels.
14:25: Make sure you stick around after the World Cup is over!
14:36: To get you as pumped up as possible for this one - the Google Doodle for the match!
14:48: Aww, Klose, ain't that cute?
15:55: Di Maria is confirmed to be out of the game, while Germany starts the same eleven from the past two matches.
15:56: Just kidding on Germany's starters - we have a change.
16:00: ...and we're off! May the best man win!
16:03: We have our first German free-kick and a chance to see that weird routine once more.
16:08: Remember, this is for the biggest prize in football...
16:11: We're just past the ten minute mark, and this is about as we expected. No clear cut chances; both sides picking their spot very carefully...
16:12: Rihanna's tweeting again, with support for Germany.
16:15: A poor corner from Toni Kroos - definitely not what we've come to expect from him.
16:18: Kramer back up on his feet, great to see. He's got Messi to mark, he doesn't want to be away for too long.
16:20: Oh no Higuain...what happened there?
16:25: 25 minutes in, still no score.
16:27: Earlier, we saw a short practise for the next venture of Neuer and Howedes.
16:29: Schweinsteiger gets the first yellow of the Final.
16:30: Higuain makes up for his mistake! Oh no, it's offside. Carry on.
16:31: Kramer's night comes to an early end as Schurrle is subbed on.
16:34: Well, things have picked up. Both teams are getting stuck in as Germany receive their second yellow of the match.
16:34: Messi's shot is blocked. Corner for Argentina.
16:37: Brilliant diving save from Romero - offside regardless but they are what we like to see!
16:39: Germany is awarded a throw in, but Argentina gets possesion. Long pass to Messi, he gets an amazing chance, but Boateng clears it, from the goalline.
16:39: Muller to Ozil, then to Kroos. Kroos takes a shot but it's well caught.
16:47: Wow. Howedes should have put that one away, a post rattler! Muller was there for the rebound -- but the ref says offside.
16:48: A half full of chances (some better than others) but we head into half time 0-0.
16:52: Germany had 4 shots with 3 on goal, while Argentina had 3 shots, 1 on goal. (Other stats here!)
16:51: As we enter halftime, we found a gif that most will find amusing, but Brazilians will hate.
16:55: Please let Muller score one...
17:00: The second half will kickoff soon. This is a must-see! Turn on your tv, folks!
17:05: We're back with the second half! Sergio Aguero is subbed in for Ezequiel Lavezzi.
17:06: A tally of celebrities at the game: LeBron James, Shakira, David Beckham, Tom Brady, etc.
17:10: Messi has a great chance, but can't make it count! Very fine margins here!
17:11: That sunset tho...
17:15: Neuer off his line again, bashes into Higuain and gets the free-kick.
17:16: Never gets old, eh Paddy Power?
17:18: Klose gets a header on target, but it's simple for Romero.
17:21: A ball across goal and...Ozil puts it wide.
17:23: Mascherano lunges in and picks up a yellow for his troubles.
17:25: I understand there's a match on, but let's just take a moment to say R.I.P. to Paul the Octopus.
17:28: Good punch by Neuer.
17:29: You know earlier, when I said both teams were getting stuck in...well...
17:29: Schlurre couldn't hold on to the ball, and it's picked up.
17:31: The champ...is...here!
17:33: Messi's shot is off. Goal kick.
17:35: Still scoreless.
17:36: Higuain off - Palacio comes in in his place.
17:37: ...and am just sitting here!
17:39: Germans going down in the box, but nothing given by the ref. Probably for the best.
17:41: Ozil cuts it back, but Kroos puts his shot well wide! After his two goals against Brazil, this has been a very tame performance.
17:44: What are we Ghana do if this game heads into penalties?
17:45: Fernando Gago comes on.
17:47: Miroslav Klose makes way for Mario Gotze. The end of an era.
17:49: Apparently, there was a streaker. Could that be our very own Raphu in the pitch showing off her Genius?
17:53: The game is going to extra time.
17:56: Oh my God, the foam is proving it's useful for more than lines!
17:59: And the first period of extra time kicks off.
17:59: Amazing save, denying Germany an early goal.
18:04: Take a break from this exhilarating match to peep this shot of Christ the Redeemer.
18:04: Here's a fact for you - Spain's World Cup winning squad had 7 players from a Pep Guardiola managed team. Germany has 7 players from a...
18:08: Palacio gets a chance to give Argentina the lead and FAILS.
18:10: Germany continue to press, while Argentina continue to hold. It's going to take something special to separate these two.
18:14: Wow... [NSFW]
18:16: We're back out for the second half of extra time. With the way things are going, we may see penalties for the third time in World Cup Final history.
18:21: Schweinsteiger has been taken out for the thirty-fifth time this match.
18:25: WE HAVE LIFT OFF! GOTZE BREAKS THE DEADLOCK! YES, ALL CAPS ARE NECESSARY!
(Gotze World Cup Stats)
18:30: Argentina throwing everything they have forward now, Neuer looks like he knows what he's doing though! Mertesacker is waiting to come on to add some more steel.
18:32: Muller with those silky smooth skills!
18:35: Messi steps up to take a free kick. All eyes on him. He runs up and...rockets it over the bar. Ouch.
Germany are champions of the world!18:49: The trophy ceremony is still to come, but that's another World Cup down!
18:57: Neuer comes up to put hands on his new golden gloves.
18:58: Messi looks more disappointed than you may expect after picking that up.
19:02: The German players are collecting their gold medals.
19:04: The greatest way for the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history Miroslav Klose to leave what is probably his last World Cup.
19:07: Victory.
19:08: More celebrations here!
19:09: Thanks for joining us once again - we hope you enjoyed it! Now the football is over, it's that long wait...for more football! I'll leave you with this.
