Germany: They are making their final appearance after a gap of 12 long years and they did it in style. Joachim Loew’s side plummet their opponents Brazil in the semi-finals 7-1 and in the process avenged the 2002 world cup final loss. It was a team effort that saw them come out with flying colours as Miroslav Klose became all time leading goal scorer as players like Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller proved their mettle once again. One more hurdle to cross and Germany can lay their hands on the coveted World Cup trophy.
Argentina: One of the most consistent side in the tournament who stretch their winning stretch with the win in penalties against the Flying Dutchmen. Leading the Argentinean side is their talismanic leader Lionel Messi who defied the allegations of him not performing in the national jersey. He looks in good shape and that should be a big problem for an opposition.
