Poor corner kick by Kroos

by Kamau via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:16:09 PM
As A brazil fan, I am torn, because now I hate both of these teams

by WillBrazil via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:16:14 PM
if Germany keeps pumping crosses into the box they will score soon

by Berti V via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:16:17 PM
Sun gonna effect the Albiceleste?

by blytzus = Al Saloha via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:16:17 PM
Romero's role will be crucial in this game. Still not tested as such...

by Shuvra via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:16:17 PM
For Boot Room purposes, can we use the term "Doing a General Zod" for anytime a player knocks himself, the referee, or any opposing player over for no apparent reason on an off the ball run?

by Estevao via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:16:25 PM
Argentina's defense this WC has been brilliant!

by Faisal via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:16:29 PM
@Reuben, I'll definitely miss all of you and the World Cup banter~! Can we have a post WC boot room? Withdrawal BR? I'm bored bcs I wanna talk about footy Bootroom?

I like Rojo, but I'm never sure about his temper. He always looks like he might flip out and hack someone.

by Iain MacIntosh via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:16:29 PM
Zod always has a reason!

by Iain MacIntosh via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:17:05 PM
Ouch, Garay's shoulder SMASHES into Kramer's face and he's down.

by Iain MacIntosh via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:17:29 PM
Uh oh - Christoph Kramer is down after a nasty collision with Ezequiel Garay, and he'll be seeing stars.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:17:29 PM
Oooffff!! Kramer!

by Kamau via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:17:33 PM
Hello also to Iain!

by Rugger via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:17:33 PM
That's a big welcome to a World Cup final for Kramer.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:17:49 PM
heavy knockout on Kramer!

by Martin K. via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:17:53 PM
And Kramer is down :O

by Chen via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:17:53 PM
Hello, rugger!

by Iain MacIntosh via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:17:57 PM
Someone better score in the first half cause this pace has been incredible its impossible to keep up in the second

by bedude via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:01 PM
Nice start to the game. Argentina have had some opportunities. Germany has held possession. It would be interesting to see if Argentina can give Messi more opportunities to attack the left side of the German defense.

by GlobalShakedown via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:05 PM
Kramer is up and trudges back to the halfway line, and should be okay to continue. He looks a little dazed though.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:33 PM
Walk that off bruh

by remydat via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:37 PM
Hello once more Tom and the Boot Room!

by Rugger via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:37 PM
Welcome, Rugger!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:45 PM
Down goes Kramer x3

by Reuben via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:53 PM
How many stars is Kramer seeing? 3 or 4?

by sidvaz via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:53 PM
A lot of debate the other night about what constitutes an entertaining 0-0. This is one. Only three shots, all off target, but it's tense.

by Iain MacIntosh via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:57 PM
To no surprise, Brazilians in the stadium are whistling every time Argentina touches the ball. I wonder who they're supporting today?

by Jay via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:18:57 PM
So far, Brazil fans will think we were almost like Argentina.

by sidvaz via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:19:01 PM
Can we just play out this game, give each squad a few days to rest and then restart the group stage all over again Wednesday? Wayne Rooney's been practicing his crosses.

by Estevao via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:19:05 PM
Estevao, I'm up for that!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:19:09 PM
@Statsie, Argentina making up for that in this current possession tho

by blytzus = Al Saloha via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:19:13 PM
Glad to be back in the boot room for the Final. Anyways just hoping for a great match unlike four years ago.

by AlexZ via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:19:18 PM
AlexZ, glad to have you back!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:19:25 PM
Germany look really assured on the ball, hardly any signs of nerves, like its their destiny.

by sidvaz via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:19:42 PM
Both these countries met in 1986 and 1990 - and the team wearing "Home" colors won the game in each edition. This one has Germany wearing their colors...

by KK via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:19:45 PM
It's a tense battle out there.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:19:50 PM
We'll get the updated numbers... we're still reeling from the knowledge that there are eight Germans born in the 1990s on the roster. Statsie collectively feels old.

WHAT A MISS BY HIGUAIN!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:20:30 PM
My word, you don't get many of them Higuain!

by Iain MacIntosh via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:20:46 PM
How does Higuain miss that?!?!?!

by Zach via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:21:02 PM
What a terrible miss by Higuain! Clearly the biggest miss of the World Cup.

by Jay via ESPN 7/13/2014 7:21:02 PM
Higuain does a Robben 2010!!
