Germany dashed Argentina’s hopes of
winning the World Cup for a third time after they beat the South
Americans 1-0 in the final of Brazil 2014 at the iconic Maracana Stadium
on Sunday.
Both countries had earlier met in the
World Cup final — Mexico 1986, Italia ’90 — with the Diego Maradona-led
Argentina beating the Germans 3-2 in Mexico while Germany won in 1-0 in
Italy — with Maradona on the losing side.
An extra time goal scored by Mario Goetze
was all the Germans needed to win their fourth World Cup title at the
expense of Argentina.
