Fans packed the Maracana ahead of Sunday's World Cup Final, embracing and enhancing the atmosphere of the tournament's most-anticipated match.

Argentinian supporters appear to outnumber German supporters in the stands - understandable considering the proximity of Argentina to Brazil compared to Germany.

The stadium was full by the time the anthems played one last time.

Argentinian supporters at Copacabana beach were still enjoying the aftermath of Brazil's humiliating downfall.

Plenty of celebrities showed up to take in the action, including several former World Cup stars.

Gisele Bundchen - pictured here with Tom Brady - will present the World Cup to the winning captain along with Carlos Puyol.

Pele and David Beckham shared a laugh prior to the start of the match.

German supporters unable to make the journey halfway around the world showed up in force in Berlin to cheer on their nation by proxy.
