Germany 1-0 Argentina: World Cup Final 2014 – 13 July 2014
Germany won their fourth World Cup as they defeated Argentina 1-0 inside extra time, thanks to a goal from Mario Gotze, in the Maracana Stadium.
Here’s how it unfolded on Twitter:
Both teams out and warming up at The Maracana – Germans fans may be in the minority but were very confident before kick-off.

Backed #arg to win at start of the #World Cup, so can’t jump ship now, but #ger deserved favourites. So many strengths & a joy to watch

Kick-off at the #WorldCupFinal and it's 25C in Rio de Janeiro – the same as the UK's highest temp today in London and Wiggonholt, W Sussex.

Anyone else disappointed that #ARG don't also have someone called Kramer too? #KramerVsKramer

What a chance for Higuain. Through with only Neuer to beat from Kroos' misplaced header and doesn't even hit the target.

Neuer comes to the edge of the box, punches the ball and clatters #ARG Higuain. Ref decides it's a #GER free-kick. http://t.co/UQMSd5CH9b
