2014-world-cup-logo What a match it was! There were tears, there were celebrations and there was drama. Mario Götze’s winning goal in extra time ended Germany’s 24 year wait for the World Cup title and gave her a 1-0 victory over Argentina in a nail-biting finale. But alas! Sunday’s match also means a wait of 4 years until the next match. So no more staying up late in the night, no more guzzling down cans of beer and no more cheering for your favorite team.
