On this form Germany must be strong favourites to win the trophy.

Dunno about that. Germany didn't have to display "form". As the Grauniad put it, they were playing a "team" that appeared to have just been dragged off the beach. Naturally, the canter will have helped to preserve them for Sunday. But I want the Argies to win tonight. Because I love Messi and because I want to see a final involving South America and Europe and because I'd rather watch paint dry than watch a final between the boring beach-towel putter-outerers and and the dirty cheating diving robbin' Robben-inspired Dutch. I've archived a couple of old Holby City episodes for that eventuality.
