14 - Javier Mascherano

I will say this again and again. Germany had mediocre 30 minutes of semi-final whereas Argentina played 120 minutes of extreme exhaustion mentally and physically to take on an even stronger opponent that RESTED AN EXTRA DAY!

If you think doesn't matter you know nothing about football. Mascherano was a beast in both matches.

Villarato!
Last 2 games? His leadership from DM position is why Argie clown defenders didn't ever make the team go behind until the last 10 minutes of the World Cup. He's had no bad game, he's been a huge influence. The main reason behind the Final not ending like 1/4 Final did 4 years ago and why Argies looked better at the back than Germany upfront. If not him I'd wager Argentina would be out against Swiss or Belgium since they struggled to score, which usually led to conceding eventually as the past history evidenced. And as it turns out, better conditioned than the Golden Ball recipient.

Mascherano: "This pain will last a lifetime, this was our chance. We gave everything. We gave everything."

:cry: This is damn depressing
