For the fourth time in their illustrious history, Germany are World Cup champions.
A goal in the 113th minute from Mario Gotze was the difference, as the Germans defeated Lionel Messi and Argentina Sunday in an enthralling encounter at the Estadio do Maracana.
The substitute scored a brilliant goal more than worthy of the World Cup title when it looked like we were heading for penalties. What a moment for the 22-year-old.

Germany become the first European team to ever win the World Cup on South American soil.
The best team at the tournament has been crowned champions, just the way it should be.
