RIO DE JANEIRO – Mario Goetze volleyed in the winning goal in extra time to give Germany its fourth World Cup title with a 1-0 victory over Argentina on Sunday.

Goetze controlled the ball with his chest and then shot past Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero in the 113th minute.

Which juicer is winning this time?

Although I am proud of the way Team USA played, I think we will have a much stronger team in 2018.

“a special tournament held in the US, featuring the US, Mexico, Costa Rica, and all the South American powers.”

Just in time for us to recruit all those Central American tattooed kids crossing our border.

Congratulations to Deutschland. They were the best team.
Don’t know why Messi got the Golden Ball.

Normally I watch all the games, but I had no idea what channel the games were broadcast. I found out last night that ABC would carry the game.

[1rudeboy]

Lots of tournaments coming up, and qualifying for 2018 starts soon. Do you want me to ping you?

[Jack Hydrazine]

I knew Germany would win.

The world cup is every four years

I like Ethiopian food.

[Kaslin]

Yeah I saw her in the audience when the game started

[1rudeboy]

Yeah, it was rather ironic. A conservative arguing that the rules of a sport be changed in order to make it more interesting for him.

So can anybody explain why soccer players wear those knee high socks? I just think it's very off-putting. Is it still 1977 in the soccer world? Everybody these days wears those just over the shoe or no-show socks, if they wear socks at all.

It's real exciting if all you watched was the last 20 minutes.

What's with all these ball games boys play. They

hit a tiny ball with a club...

a bigger ball with a wood stick...

bag a ball and fling it....

roll it down a wood plank and wait for it to come back

kick a ball or use their head till you get it in a huge net....

Build a basket for a bigger ball and play horse over and over

And in the end...they give them all up and opt for Viagra.

[Steelfish]

Best sport on the planet! With cricket in second place
The winning goal was a sheer beauty!

[1rudeboy]

Would you rather look at the shin-guards?

[dragnet2]

boyrude the in-house internationalist!!!

So how exciting was the game?

Have they shown 400 replays of the ball hitting the net for the winning score?

Did the announcer say, Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal until he lost his breath?

Bet the place went mucho wild...

[safeasthebanks]

Safety rule - socks keep the (mandatory) shin guards in place.

[Ge0ffrey]

Now I can go back to watching the paint peel.
