Who will win the World Cup?

Messi will probably be too good for Netherlands as he has at least one decisive action per game, which could prove the two votes in this thread right for a final Germany-Argentina..

So frantic at club level, Messi is more of a classic old-school Argentinian playmaker in this side, happy slowing the play and waiting to assess his options, delaying his final ball. The Argentinians call that moment la pausa: it has near-mythical status, perhaps best personified in recent years by Juan Román Riquelme, the Boca Juniors playmaker. In this system, Messi is not a forward, not a false 9, not a winger drifting inside, but a standard No10 in an otherwise flat 4-4-1-1 system.
