This world cup was so fun because so many people were in their prime

[ekook]

I remember this world cup for 4 reasons:
1. James Rodriguez
2. Germany 7-1 Brazil
3. Van Persie´s header
4. Costa Rica

The fact Gotze cheered Montiel's winning penalty this time in the 2022 final. Life really comes full circle.

And now, 8 years later, Messi is not only looking at the Trophy, but holding it. What an amazing journey for Messi.

[akibhazari]

Argentina had Messi, Germany had a team.

[MrKaravaj]

This final was better than 2018 final

Edit: 2022 final even better, if not the best

[rocklupus]

Higuin always misses when it's a final game, the world cup and cop America, he had multiple chances to put the team ahead and always sends it to another demension

[mahim]

Now i can watch this video after 8 years without crying

Gotze's goal was one of the most beautiful goals I ever saw in a final match. A class player ruined by injuries.

[maxdekok]

Legends will say Higuain is still celebrating the offside goal. 😂🤣

[jhalakrajtiwari]

Moral of the story.
Germany tried to give World Cup to Argentina but Argentina gave it back to the Germany and Germany gladly accepted it.

Those were the days When Germany defeated Portugal, France, Brazil, Argentina in a single tournament.They had one of the toughest road in that tournament.Sad to see them getting out in Group stages and not being a threat in world tournaments anymore....😒

[cjr]

While I wanted Argentina to win, I have a lot of respect for Germany, they played very well and 2014 will go down as one of the best world cup squads.

[mybabelizatomickitten]

I Miss this germany. And anyway, as a germany fans, RIP for Alejandro Sabella former Argentina coach who led to World cup final 2014 🙏

[johntorres]

8yrs ago this happened. Thank you Gotze, no matter your career is affected by injuries but we will forever be grateful to you for this legendary moment.

[harutochang]

And now, the little boy from Rosario, Argentina has finally crowned his stellar career with a world cup.
Magical Messi!!

[lalallama]

This really was Germany’s golden generation of players. Klose, müller, neuer, so many amazing players

[kingwarrior]

Higuain's miss will forever be a nightmare for him and all the Argentines 😢

[vanxuan]

I remember that year I was 13 years old. My dad bought World cup poster and i wrote on it World cup 2014 champion is germany and it came true. My beautiful memories. And to this day, I still love this team

[gkJohnson]

Germany basically gave the World Cup to Argentina but higuin is just bad at big international games
