The match between Argentina and Netherlands was in complete contrast to what we saw a day before where the hosts Brazil played like school boys and let the Germans win over them mercilessly.

The goalless match in the full time, followed by 20 and 10 minutes extra time speak of the professionalism of the players from both camps - some say they both had five of the best forwards playing in the world today. However, neither Persie nor Messi could come up with a field goal to end the match in a thriller.

It was then the penalty kicks that decided the match in Argentina's favour 4-2. Now Argentina proudly marches into the World Cup 2014 final after their 1990 last time and face the onslaught of the Germans.

But the Germans be cautioned that Argentina is no Brazil, who used up all its energies in preparing for the mega event rather than focusing much on their team. So let us watch and wait till Sunday and see who finally lifts the coveted trophy.
