Germany definitely deserved they were the better team in the final and throughout the whole competition. I think they should really have won in 90 minutes, though I thought it was all over when Messi was one on one with Neuer from a tight angle but for once he missed. I don't agree with him winning the Golden Ball, I don't think he has been consistent. only showing his quality in short moments. Unfortunately it seems to have been picked on reputation rather than performance.
