At Maracana Stadium, on Sunday, July 13, Germany has written history once more. Twenty four years later it won in Italy, raises again the universal golden football trophy with the same adversary and scoreboard.
With a scoreboard 1-0 ended the final of the Football World Cup 2014 won by Germany vs. Argentina with a goal shot by Mario Gotze (113′) that melted away the Latin American dreams in Brazil and after 24 years the Teutonic players returned to the highest position of the Football World Cup, fists European that manage to win in America.
At Maracana, a stadium born for great events, more than 74, 000 spectators participated in this event to witness history.
There, in the mythical square in Rio de Janeiro, Germany broke the curses, imposed its football and sewed another golden star to the federation’s shield.
Although with more than 110 minutes, both teams restlessly battled on the field; but it is impossible to win, when you waste clear opportunities that helped the German defense. That is why; Argentina lost, and because they did not manage to do the only thing was required to: shoot goals.
For winners, the price is for the strength of their perseverance, strength able to create a generation able to join quality in football and good touch of Mannschaft’s inherent strength. Germany is obviously celebrating these days. It has defeated an Argentinean team that grew in each match and returned its fans the faith on victory; they destroyed a speechless Brazil and broke more than a record.
We offer them a bow.
For Sabela’s alb celestial team, at least, there will be left the comfort to dream with the goals they could have shot and they didn’t. Although their performance in this Cup is better, so and many had it as its favorite for the discussion of the title. However, in a final, the comfort is just the last option.
There are unforgettable postcards in the Brazilian Football World Cup, marvelous revelations and names that are better known every second.
Costa Rica and Colombia, two of the indisputable main characters in this Cup, had convinced us that football can not only be emotionally measured by goals and passes. Both teams were magic, happiness, colors and responsibility on the field; an unusual combination nowadays.
James Rodriguez, Bryan Ruiz, Keylor Navas are not ordinary players. This Event has made them to the top as national heroes and reference beyond their borders.
The Teutonic goals to the hosts will be registered as Brazilian mourning day in the homeland, which will never get in Mineirao Stadium without reminding the four terrible goals in six minutes and a 7-1.
Even Luis Suarez’ desperate bite to Giorgio Chiellini will dress the history of this successful world cup that joined more than 700,000 foreigners to Brazil and collected thousands of million dollars.
Fully bite and colossal punishment make a marvelous duet for jokes.
In the matter of records in this World Cup Klose was prodigal when he turned the historical high-scoring player (16), before Ronaldo; Faryd Mondragon in the oldest man to step the field as player in World Cups; Brazil extended its consecutive participations to 20 “it has been in all the competitions since 1930”; and Müller is the youngest getting 10 goals.
The worst thing of the World Cup is undoubtedly the refereeing. They were in the extreme positions and left a lot to be desired with unfortunate decisions or unforgivable omissions.
But let’s blame FIFA and not the sports event that, for more than a month, changed the life and schedule of all the people.
