World Cup Champions of 2014

Undoubtedly Germany was the best team of the tournament. They did deserve the world cup. The German boy made the best use of the facilities and opportunities provided by their country and came out as the World Champions.

Congratulations Germany!

Less fortunate countries, in terms of facilities and opportunities, their players brave the odds and come out riding on their talents and skills sometimes win the world cup for their teams and personally get noticed by the rich football clubs of Europe and merit a contract. A lucky break for them in many ways.

The Latin American football will always be my favourite as they resemble our India life too. I am glad Argentina did not go down against the mighty Germans like the way Brazilians did. But then this is the decade of European football. Italy, Spain and now Germany.

The ball rolls on justily.

World Cup 2014

In a couple of hours the final will be on. Everybody is predicting a German win. True they have played their best and is certainly the best team in the tournament so far. But for someone like me who started following the World Cup from 1986 when they started relaying WC for the first time in India, Maradona magic of that year is still something I cannot forget.

So, my heart is with Argentina, a nation like ours who is struggling with their development to  keep abreast in the modern world.

Germany always has been a very good football team. There wont be any surprise if they win.

May the best team win.
