Thoughts on WC final

It is perhaps more justified to discuss the success of Germany in the WC final than reviewing the failures of Argentina. I think both teams played pretty well. But luck favoured the Germans. And the refereeing in the World Cup was not above criticism. Is football going to get a third referee like a third umpire in cricket to determine offside, handball in the penalty box, etc.? The German team did some rough tackling and the Argentines were overstressed, especially their key player, Messi. I think if D. Maria were fit and played in the final, Argentina could have won the golden trophy.
