Well, that's all she wrote...today closes the books on a great World Cup.
Germany (1) - Argentina (0) in Extra Time
I think everyone was happy to see the World Cup end in dramatic fashion without a penalty shoot-out.
After a tough, physical game in which both teams missed golden opportunities to score, it was Mario Goetze scoring on a lovely volley in the 113th minute for the game winner.
Everyone agrees that Germany was the best team of the tournament and has a bright future ahead.
Messi brought his team to the finals but couldn't carry them over the finish line. He has the Golden Ball to show for his efforts but undoubtedly would have preferred the Copa do Mundial.
James ("Hamez") Rodriguez takes home the Golden Boot for the most goals scored in the tourney (six).
Germany will take home a cool $35 million bucks to go along with their fourth trophy. They now sit tied with Italy, one behind all-time leaders, Brazil. Could 2018 be the year they tie Brazil for all-time wins? Let the Speculatron start spinning!
And, just to keep it classy, here is a wrap-up of some good-looking fans. Now remember, there were several million people attending these games. Trust me, most looked more like this.
Congrats to all fans and participants. Let's remember that the beautiful game is a much better way to assert world dominance and bragging rights than say, war.
