germany world cup champions

mario gotze is the hero as germany wins 1-0 in extra time and WINS the world cup. first title since 1990, when they also beat argentina by the same score. first time a south american host did not produce a south american winner (uruguay hosted and won in 1930, uruguay won in brazil in in 1950, brazil won in chile in 1962, and argentina hosted and won in 1978). so many chances by both sides, even a disallowed goal by argentina (player was offside). congrats to germany (WOOOOOHHOOOOOO), now a four time champion. next tournament is in russia in 2018.
