One part of me thinks that Messi really deserved a World Cup win, the other part of me laughed maniacally when Messi missed the free kick at the end.
He was pretty well contained but he created most of Argentina's opportunities. Just glad the defence managed to shut them down. Germany got lucky a couple of times though. They were nervous and it almost cost them.

So we can finish last in the group stages at home? No thanks. Australia doesn't deserve a world cup yet. Maybe in 20-30 years.

Qatar had better "incentives", the kind that you get under the table.
I love the response to the whole bribery thing. "We are aware that some officials took bribes to vote for Qatar and we find this to be a disgrace on our sport. We will suspend these officials for 2 years and fine them for 5% of the bribe money... and we'll let Qatar keep the World Cup"
The FFA has always been corrupt, I don't know why I expected anything less from them.

I'm VERY happy Germany won the World Cup. They have been very consistent the whole tournament and their defence, especially Neuer, have been outstanding. I don't know if it's harsh to say that the better team lost but it was an intense game and I'm glad it didn't go to penalties.
Messi as player of the tournament is a bit iffy. He was very good at times but he was also very well contained most of the times throughout the tournament.
Overall, this was one of the best, actually, the best world cup I have seen. I'm sad that it has finished. Bring on the EPL!

If they do strip Qatar from hosting the 2022 World Cup which I don't think they will you can be sure they will give it to the Americans. The game is growing fast over there, and there's a bigger market. Also we are too far away logistically according to FIFA.
The only good thing about this WC finishing is that I won't have to see Zdrilic and Kalac's head for a while.

That's about the realistic time frame we will get to host one

Argentina should have won the match over the 90 minutes. Argentina gassed out during extra time and Germany took their opportunity.
Overall, Germany was the most consistent team of the WC and well deserved winners on a whole
As much as I would LOVE the WC to be held in Australia, i do not see it happening. Australia has got a long way to go to host the WC.
Les Murray has retired from commentary which is a dark day for Australian Football as Craig Foster will be taking over the ranks.

Under the rotation rules, a confederation cannot bid for the next two tournaments after it has hosted the WC.
Russia is hosting the WC2018 so no European country can bid until 2030
Qatar 2022, nobody in Asia can bid until 2034
Australia left the OFC to join the AFC to increase their chances of qualifying for World Cups. That's worked, but Qatar's success means Australia cant bid to host the WC until 2034.
NZ are the only country in the OFC with even a ghost of a chance of organising a WC, they've never previously even bid for it
