World Cup Cafe opens...for the big one. Germany v Argentina. Another precision v flair match. On the face of it, a repeat of 1990. But, something inside says that the game quality will be superior to 1990. Germany has a great attack - fluid moves, terrific finishing. The defence has been stretched (remember Ghana who tore it apart). Even (sigh) Brazil cracked the German defence open a few times at the beginning of the second half, and but for appalling finishing may have slotted 2-3 more past Neuer. Argentina, has a terrific defence; Zabeletta, Rojo are great, not to mention Mascherano who repeatedly saved Romero from Robben & co. The deep wing thrusts of both Zabaletta and Rojo are worth mentioning as well, and their speed would stretch the Germans, specially Boateng. Hope mercurial Messi comes to the party along with di Maria and Lavezzi. As Prakash Sethuraman pointed out Gary Linekers words, Football is a simple game - 22 chaps chase a call for 90 min, and the end the Germans win! My money stays on Germany - 3-1 winners.
