Football over the fence (Last Hope United Book 1)

By Alan Tyers from 5. A very, very good World Cup. And congratulations to Brazil, who put on a superb tournament. Obviously they won't want to talk about The Bad Thing that happened against Germany in the semis, but given that there were genuine pre-tournament fears of major civil unrest, well On behalf of the team at the Telegraph, we've loved bringing you these live blogs and all our other coverage, thanks for reading and see you soon I hope. Schweinsteiger leads them up, he's given everything for the cause. Hugs and kisses for Angela Merkel.

Boy politicos eat this stuff up, don't they? Imagine our politicians if Roy's boys won it. You'd never get Cameron out of his football strip. Obviously this will never happen, but still. Medals all round for the Mannschaft. A really excellent team, they've come through the ranks together, they play with pace and heart and they've got some cracking attacking players. They've got the best domestic league, as well.

All things considered, very worthy champions and well done to them. Match of the Day - Alan Hansen bows out: First European team to win in South America, and the first time a sub has come on and scored the winner in the final. Nice little feather in the cap of the manager Loew. Everybody likes to see that.

Manuel Neuer up first to get the Golden Glove trophy - a truly hideous effort that looks like it has been designed by a cartoon. Poor Messi has to go up and get the Golden Ball for the tournament's best player. All this tomfoolery is taking an age. The Argentines just want to get the hell out of there and the Germans just want to party. How very FIFA to insert themselves into the story. Messi now takes his men up to get their runners-up medals.

Liverpool F.C.

Heaven forfend that anyone should be gracious in defeat, all of them carrying on like their entire families have been killed in a freak yachting accident but hey that's football. Argentina played their part in a decent if not spectacular final and I think on balance second place is about fair. Tight between them and Holland for the minor placings but I don't think you can deny that Germany have been the best side in the tournament. They thumped the hosts in the semis, they beat South America's other powerhouse in the final.

That's to say nothing of completely mullering the putatively dangerous Portugal. Lovely volley from Mario Gotze, perhaps the hardest chance of the night because both teams missed some decent opportunities throughout. Messi a major let-down, maybe not fit, he was pictured seemingly puking on the pitch although in fairness I have seen him do that before so not sure how significant that was. The best players on the pitch were defenders. Schweinsteiger was a warrior, he was kicked and smashed in the face but he never took a backward step.

Boatend was excellent and Neuer in goal was authority personified. Argentina's best player was Mascherano. Messi missed a couple of chances and was only in the game in fits and starts. Argentina didn't have a shot on target throughout, and what more can you really say than that? Klose is now officially the best, he IS a world cup champion. Neuer, oh my goodness. Kindest regards and a beer on me. But first time ever in my life I am rejoicing for somebody's loss Messi's loss..

WC isn't La Liga.. Germany isn't Real Mallorca Last chance saloon for Argentina. It's Messi bursting forward, and Schweini brings him down from behind. Messi will have one last chance, with the dead ball. Keeper not coming up Messi stands over it. The two minutes added time of extra time are up.

This is the moment for Messi. There's a delay because Schweinsteiger is hurt and getting treatment on the pitch. The ball is 30 yards from goal on the right. He hoofs it miles over the goal. Well, there will be those who say that Messi is not in the same class as the true greats until he does it at a World Cup. Argentina, obviously, piling forward and it looks like they're going to get done on the break. Muller breaks down the left but his stabbed cross just evades Ozil. Rojo down the left, crosses for Messi but his effort lands on the roof of the net. What have Argentina got? A decent move that sees the ball played into the box, but there's Neuer to gather, charging out as is his way.

Excellent goal, Schurrle has been some supersub in this tournament, and that was a beautiful run and cross. Finally the deadlock is broken. Germany build down the left, a superb run from Schurrle sucks three defenders towards him, he crosses for Gotze. Lovely control on the chest, and he's smashed a wonderful shot home past the keeper. Germany 1 Argentina 0 Gotze It really is bundle time on Schweinsteiger. He's now been hit in the face by, Aguero, there's quite a lot of claret.

He has to go off and the Germans are livid, they want to know why there was no card. Who has got the juice? The Argentines had a longer, tougher semi-final and a day less to recover. Messi, for one, does not look quite the ticket and indeed hasn't since half time. Biglia and Mascherano both foul Schweinsteiger at once. No bookings, freekick, Mascherano himself clears the header. Paul Hayward - Germany have never lost a World Cup penalty shoot-out but Argentina were lethal from the spot against Holland. Could be the OK Corral. The first couple of minutes of that were decent.

Schurrle and Palacio both had good chances, especially the Argentine, but after that, it was a big fat meh. Damian Durrant , it's all yours:. Alan, I wonder if it might be a better final if they had an extra days rest. That last 30 mins was pretty flaccid. Maybe have the "Sepp Blatter Bloated Bureaucracy" street carnival in the extra day.

Argentina had their chances. If they lose its not because Germany stopped them. Sorry to say it readers but this is now actually pretty boring. Are we already wishing it over and hoping for pens? Mascherano has put in man's toil, as indeed has the player he has just painfully fouled, Schweinsteiger. Poor old Messi just making up the numbers at the moment, wandering around up front 25 yards from the play. Everyone calms down after that moment of excitement.

Calms down almost too well. Gary Lineker - That finish from Palacio was as pony as his tail. Well, you can keep your fancy football. It's very nearly the simplest goal ever. A goal even England could have come up with. Rojo loops a cross in from the left, it goes over the head of Hummels and Palacio's little lift over the onrushing Neuer drifts Gotze's been a bit sloppy since he came on, he's now failed to get on a ball and sees it run out of play. Germany out of the blocks the quicker, no doubt. Neuer gethers a ball for a throw in and starts an attack.

We're back playing people. And right from the start the Argentina defence opens up and keeper Romero has to parry a fierce shot from Schurrle. Only three shots on target in the whole match yet it has been decent quality and not unenjoyable. Messi went very quiet for a lot of that half but still had his moments. Boateng the best of the German defenders. Muller, Ozil, Lahm dangerous but not quite incisive enough. Here's the excellent run Messi made, beating four and shooting wide.

Mascherano and Schewini also VG. It's been a defender's sort of game With three minutes of added time to come, Gotze makes a poor choice to shoot from distance when he had the pacy Schurrle running. As that clock ticks down, Germany have a good position with Muller on the edge of the box but he looks a little tired as he crosses straight at an opponent.

So will it be extras? Or will this excellent long ball from Messi find Aguero? No, Boateng - who has been very good - nips in. Alex Scrutton appears to be wigging out quite badly:. I am in room crowded with my family watching a game that people like to get kicked in the face,hold hands on heads and I see guys trying to run. I think it might be but I keep nodding of a bit. My mum won't listen so I think I might be watching a comedy series or something. All I know is these guys have bad haircuts. Just a little respite as subs are made, a minor bit of treatment, etc. Loew speaks to Schweinsteiger.

A good tacke from Boateng to deny Messi as he was about to shoot.

Gotze is coming on and Klose is off, he gets a rousing cheer from the German fans in what will be his farewell appearance. Back of the Net - You'd need a heart of stone not to want Neuer to concede in a comedic manner that was entirely his fault. Danger for Germany as Boateng slips, Messi tries to flick through but Aguero also slips over. Neelesh , this is your moment:. This game is panning out just like I'm calling for a Germany goal in the last five minutes. Lahm and Ozil open up Argentina, and Schurrle has a good chance in the box.

His scuffed shot never looked like anything other than a wide miss. Messi goes quiet - he's figuring out that one devastating move that will create the killer opportunity. He strolls just behind the front line, finding a weakness, and then he's gone Good position for Germany as they work an opening in the Argentina box, but unluckily for them, the chance falls to Hoewedes, who cannot get the ball out from under his feet. Neuer gathers and looks to release Muller after another dangerous run from Messi.

Higuain is off and Palacio is on. Messi suddenly in it, he picks the ball up on the right, cuts inside, the Germans are bewitched by his tiny size one feet and he lashes a shot with considerable power over the goal. Wonderful play by the Germans on the edge of the box, they've opened Argentina up have Muller and Ozil, but Schurrle's touch is that of the proverbial cement mixer. It seems like a game of opposites. On one side, Germany: Both highly skilled and with the same goal: And it seems like luck and skill will determine the winner..

Who for now seems to be Argentina. Duece Biglia, Male Giglia, fouls again, this time Schweini. Be nice to see some football soon, not that I don't enjoy German and Argentine footballers pushing and kicking each other. Here's Neuer battering Higuain earlier. Ref blowing that whistle like he's at an Appy Ardcore party in Bagleys circa , it's all gone radio rental geeze. Biglia, Kroos the latest naughty boys. Very much hoping that this all goes off, big style. Klose brings down Biglia, and there's a freekick that comes to little. We're having some argy-bargy now, if you'll pardon the pun, and the ref's got the card out again as the game gets nasty.

Aguero into the notebook for fouling Schweinsteiger. Mascherano fouls Klose, pair of scrapyard Alsatians they are. Mascherano into the book. Paul Hayward - Don't see that Neuer is entitled to lead with his knee, jumping for the ball, at that height. Higuain lucky not to be out cold.

Schurrle and Ozil break at such extreme pace that the cross hits Ozil before he can do anything about it. Lahm and Muller also threatening and Germany are now back on top after a bilstering start to the half from Argentina. Dyer has scored 11 goals at St James' Park since joining Newcastle in , but over the last five seasons from the start of he has scored only five times in 59 games to Scholes's six in five.
