Welp, that's it, the World Cup is over. It's been the best tournament I can remember. Ridiculously dramatic, so many stories, so many brilliant players making a name for themselves - and others falling far short of their hype. Lionel Messi seems to be the new Wayne Rooney - all club and no country.
I don't like Germany or Argentina so didn't go into the final with much hope, but both of them played much better than most of their previous games (main exception obviously being Germany's last match) and ended fairly perfectly with a magnificent goal from a footballer barely out of his nappies, and Messi summing up his tournament by punting a last-minute free kick miles over the goal.
