Is this the World Cup for Messi?

Or will Germany wins it as a team?

So, this is it. A win tonight for Germany seems like inevitable, for many “fans” who think crashing Brazil 7-1 was a sign of supremacy.

To be honest, I hope a team wins it instead of a man. Football is a team game. But what can the German tank do to stop the Messiah?

However I think we need to be realistic and clear that certain externalities contribute to the result of a football match.

1. Bookies — I bet millions of people will put their bets on the Europeans to win it and what does that suggest?
2. Referees — Some officials are just totally humans. They can’t see well and they make harsh calls.
3. Strategies — I am not sure what Sabella is going to tell his players tonight but looking at how Brazil got hammered, the coach might be doing something less exciting to win the game.

So I think it’s going to be a very close game. The only goal scored might be enough to bring the Cup home.

It is possible to go to extra time and penalties shoot-out.

I just hope that the World Cup is finally going to the right home.
