And more importantly, congratulations to Mike Obiku for thrashing all comers in the FF!

Agreed, after 2006 and 2010 this win felt inevitable, I pegged Germany to win it all back in May and I'm pleasantly surprised to see them pull it off. It just felt like they were building the momentum over the past few years to really pull off something big, and I'm glad they did it and with style. All things considering, the 4-0 beat down of Portugal, the 7-1 OBLITERATION of Brazil IN Brazil, and a 18-4 overall goal differential, I dare say this may have been the BEST World Cup team EVER. That is not hyperbole, it feels like a legitimate proclamation.
I had Germany-Netherlands for my Final and Brazil-Argentina as my Third Place match so I'm actually pretty happy to be .500 in my predictions for the Semis.. I really thought the Dutch could make the Final, but I still thought Germany would beat them inevitably. Great World Cup, I had SOOOOOO MUUUUUCH FUUUUUUUN this past month, possibly the most I've had in any international summer tournament in my life!
That was one of the the best goals in the entire Cup, well worth that 113 minute wait.. While it wasn't a scoring match, I liked this better than 2010..
