Hi Watched the game last night. As I expected very close thing. Argentina completely blocked out Robben & van Persie. Neither side looked like scoring and both goalkeepers had little to do.I have seen it quoted in the papers that Robben only touched the ball 6 times in the first half!! van Gaal tried a different strategy. He tried to win the game by putting on his 3 subs instead of 2 and thus keeping his Goalkeeper for the penalty shootout. Some you win......... I don't think that Germany will get an easy ride but they look a fair bet to me. Latest odds for the Final Germany 4/6, Argentina 5/4. Cheers Mike
