The team has departed from their home based in Brazil; Cidade do Galo in Belo Horizonte where the dream actually took off. Now their have taken off on the ultimate dream in a flight bound for Rio De Janeiro. Shortly after landing, they've headed straight to their next destination which is at the Radisson Hotel, in the Barra de Tijuca. As always, fans in large number were there to greet them. The players were seem heading straight to the lobby. There were loud cheers when each and every one of them got down from the bus with Messi receiving the loudest. The team is expected to break for lunch and rest. There will be a press conference by Alejandro SABELLA at about 4.30 PM local time. There will be a practice session at the São Januário Stadium around 6.15 pm local time, the home of Vasco da Gama. As always, we will leave you with the famous group selfie which has followed the team to all their destination and perhaps brought them the much needed luck.

Waiting for that showdown !!! Our boys are going to have to deal with a very physical and technical fouling German team ...releasing the ball quickly and accurately is the key ...as the Germans are going the press big time ... Even though our boys have done great at set pieces I am going to wince at every set piece where the ball can be flighted into the box ..other than that I'm confident we will win .. Well to give you and idea on a holiday in Oman to visit my brother I will be watching the game at my brothers house with his wife ....and her band of friends and their husbands all rooting for Germany .... And these guys have seriously no idea of football all the knowledge they have is a result of the EPL propaganda and European journalists ...zero .. Have watched the arg -ned semi with them and really enjoyed watch them eat crow !!!!!! They seriously believe arg is going down 5-0 and that's being conservative :) !!!! They even have the audacity of keeping a "hand be down " German jersey for me anytime I change my mind .. And then I think of hoe sabella would react and reply as calmly , graciously and giving them what they want to hear .... Sabella is my hero ... Did u guys see him at the end of the game vs the Dutch he went around quietly patting every player on their heads like a loving grand father ... Looking at that made me break down !!! I want our guys to pull them selves together not for messi or us the fans but for SABELLA !!!!

Nn "elpipita" Mamoun (Iraq) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 12:10 AM 0 @Kid welcome back and I have to say that I'm a tad disappointed in you since I expected "kun Aguero" to be your current user name as our kun could really use some of that mojo that inflicted on Basanta and Rojo :)Btw your wife sounds really cool and we have a saying in arabic "hope allah looks after her for you".As for our boys, well they're winners in my book and I couldn't be more proud of them.For years the senior team's under-performance was inexplicable considering the success of the youth teams but Argentina is finally reaping the benefits of the 2005 and 2007 champion youth teams.We were all in awe of the fab 4 and Argentina's new found status as counter-attacking kings; we were all happy that our team was free scoring against the likes of colombia, uruguay and chile but for me personally the thing that struck me the most about Sabella's Argentina was the grit and the indomitable spirit that they've consistently shown throughout the WCQ and the WC. A nation like Argentina will always produce an unending supply of talent, this was true back in the 40's with 'la machina' and it's true now but the winning mentality that the likes of Diego exhibited in abundance seemed to be missing from the previous WC teams and so regaining that mentality is arguably the biggest success of this already successful WC campaign.So to our boys in white and blue I say go out there and do what you've been doing and let history determine the rest! Argentino Trucho (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 11:53 PM 0 I'm so excited about this game tomorrow! I just keep thinking about how I will scream when Argentina scores. And then I picture when the clock is winding down and we are ahead. I know that the result can be different and heartbreaking, but I have a really good feeling about tomorrow. It'll be great. gabo (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 11:48 PM 0 The "experts" with ESPN who are predicting a German victory all said Brazil wins today! oh, well... Ayr18 (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 11:44 PM 0 Idk Di Maria too busy with his Man U transfer. arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 11:44 PM 0 Muller and his arrogant approach: "I don't know what kind of a game it will be on Sunday," Müller added, "but I don't expect it to be 5-0 at half-time. That would be nice, but it's probably going to be tight like it was against Algeria or France. But even if it's tight then we will have to try and score from a set-piece because, by now, we have become the king of the set-pieces." travis (Japan) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 11:31 PM 0 this is it for me, tomorrow is it, the final moment, i hope argentina will win this match in just 90minutes, and not trying to dragging the play to extra time/shootout. i hope they finish the germans in the 90minutes play. i really hope to see messi score the goal of his life. this is so nervous, i am shaking while writing this. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 11:23 PM 0 Jorge Ramos counted us out against the dutch.. guled (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 11:07 PM 0 We waited so long to see argentina lift the cup, I hope tommorow this time we will be ecstatic with wild joy and celebrations Dinucci (Argentina) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 11:05 PM 0 Expect to see Messi shine! This is the game of his life! Its gonna be very difficult but i strongly believe we can do this! So many people like jorge ramos are counting us out! Lets prove them wrong!!! guled (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 10:58 PM 0 I am also feeling messi will have a say tommorow a goal or two may be, but I predicted garay header will win us the cup PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 10:40 PM 2 Germany is no ''MACHINE'' that's what the media want us to believe..Like Argentina, this German team have not been able to win any major trophies...They had this same hyped going into the game against Italy during the 2012 Euros..Everyone all said Germany was the favorites against Italy back then and we all know Balotelli happen..lol arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 10:31 PM 0 If we win or lose, it will be very emotional tomorrow night at the Maracana.....players will show rivers of tears. Regardless, I think reaching the final is a huge improvement, it is a victory itself especially after the historical display against Netherlands, a team that came to lift the world cup finally. We are going to this finale with some barriers like the injured di maria, and some other players without full form like Higuain, Aguero and Gago. Still it is more mental to defeat a team like Germany and think that other teams were able to stop their machine in this tournament. The Germans are also drained after 6 games even if they don't admit it.....we will see tomorrow. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 10:24 PM 3 @Thinker: Apology accepted...We are all brothers here cheering for the same team..Well, its Argentina final game of the world cup and its hard for me not to comment before the game on Sunday..OH MY GOD WE ARE IN THE FINAL!!!!Firstly, its so disrespectful to see some of the ratings on the team. These guys are heroes, none of them deserves a 1 or 5 ratings etc..We haven't made a world cup final since 1990 and folks here have the audacity to give players 1 and 2 ratings, this is so despicable...Every member of this team deserves a 10 for making the final, heck, even the Argentina water boy deserves a 10..Maxi and Aguero put there penalty away and they surely deserve a 10 for that, they could have easily miss like Sneijder did..I'll say this, that penalty Aguero scored will give him a ton of confidence going into the final on Sunday..2wks ago, I said Romero was a top three goalkeeper at the world cup and someone said he's not, ''he's actually average,'' well as all can see, he's one of the top 3 goal keeper nominated for the GOLDEN gloves at this year installment of the world cup.I've always believe in this team, I took a lot of beating for them, I have defended this team not only on Mundo but all over the web..Before the world cup started I told you guys that Romero, Rojo, Biglia will all be stars and you can add Perez to that list..To tell you the truth, I did not watch the shootout,I left and go lock myself inside the car for like 20 minutes, I then came back and ask my wife what happen, she said jokingly, (with a sad face)that we lost,my world all of a sudden froze but then she said ''WE WON!!!'' I immediately lift my hands to the heavens and started crying with tears of joy, I couldn't hold it back one bit...Going into the world cup people criticize Demichelis as a mistake prone defender..Rojo as some wannabe LB and Romero as a bench warmer at Monaco. But guess what, the whole world saw these men for themselves and they saw great men instead of what was said about them before the world cup, these are the people that don't tune into club football season after season on sites like BR or ESPN soccernet, these are the usually loyal world cup fans, who will never forget the names of Demichelis, Rojo and Romero..That moment where Romero pound the crest on his shirt after the the penalty saves will be an Iconic world cup moment for years to come..''Vamo, Vamo, Vamo''Sabella was so relax and calm after the 120 minutes against the Dutch..Its like he knew Argentina got this..Well I wont go into the back and forth with the media about who is the favorite and all the blah blah blah. One thing for sure is that the Germans better come prepared for Argentina..Holland proved today that Germany win over Brazil wasn't all that impressive, and the thing is, Brazil barely had any serious chances against the Dutch while they (Brazil) had 7 shots on target against Germany and also a goal..Brazil was totally shut out by the Netherlands, this just shows Germany defense is overrated..Neuer has been the one saving the German back line all tournament long, if it wasn't for him they would have lost to teams like Algeria, France and Ghana ..I hope Lowe play the high line against Argentina on Sunday, lets see how brave the Germans are to have Boateng and Hummels/Mertesacker playing on the halfway line with Messi on the pitch..If the team play the same way they did against Belgium and Holland they will have no problem winning this game on Sunday..I'll say this again , the media are overrating Germany midfield way too much, and act as if Mascherano is Argentina only great midfield player in this tournament, saying stuff like Mascherano will have to cover all three Germany midfield players which is pathetic, we have great players to help him like Perez and Biglia, the whole world will witness this tomorrow..I'm confident in a world cup final triumph and no matter what happen tomorrow, these men will always be heroes for me, I don't know about you though..Lastly, I'm not trying to attack anyone, but why do you guys respond to Dammage7? He voted yet again that Argentina will lose tomorrow, the same guy who voted that we would lose to Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands..This guy is not for the team, he's here with a different agenda from all the other loyal and humble fans here.VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!Greets :) arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 10:23 PM 1 I have a hunch that Messi will be scoring the winning goal. Argentino Trucho (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 10:03 PM 0 I had a weird premonition about Messi scoring a hat trick in the final. Seems dumb, but it would be amazing to see. arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 8:34 PM 0 Beckham and Rooney have so much respect to Messi and both believe that he's the best player in the world. Robben as well mentioned that Messi deserved this world cup, same what Neymar said. Just the Germans are such arrogant with no star power in their team. Tallman (Argentina) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 8:34 PM 0 gago wipes messi's ass after a shit CONFIRMED Tallman (Argentina) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 8:31 PM 0 ALL THESE FAKE ASS EXPERTS AND THERE AMAZING GERMANY CLICK BAIT UN PROFESSIONAL WEB SITES BRAZIL ARE A JOKE AND HOLLAND PROVED THAT TODAY ALSO MAXI LOPEZ HAS RAN AWAY AFTER STATING THE SAME SHITE....HOLLAND COULD HAVE WON 5 OR 6 NIL TODAY PROVING WHAT ANY SANE PERSON ALREADY KNOWS GERMANY ARE NOT SOME MASSIVE POWER ITS A 50/50 TOMORROW AND ARGENTINA LOOK STRONGER WITH MESSI AND HIGUAIN arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 8:27 PM 0 David Beckham predicts Argentina to beat Germany 3-1. He likes Messi a lot. Beckham is aware how the Germans can blew it in some matches. Algeria and Ghana games are an example.

We can play on top of the world for a good number of years, with some young players coming in to reinforce the team."Mesut Ozil, Andre Schurrle and Thomas Muller could continue to play together for Germany for years to comeAs Germany seek their first World Cup win since 1990, when they beat Argentina in Rome, Low, 54, relished the prospect of re-writing the history books with winning on this continent."We know we can write history," he said. "In the past we have never had this. Latin Americans, on this continent, have dominated all the time. So why not? This could be an additional joy for us if we were to win as Europeans on Latin American soil."And the prospect of facing Messi as he tries to emulate Diego Maradona, who inspired Argentina to their last World Cup win in Mexico in 1986, does not daunt Low.He said: "We don't have any fear whatsoever. I know it is going to be a match between two teams who have had fascinating duels in the past, in tournaments or friendlies."This team is not only about Messi. If you believed it was, you would be making a mistake. They have Angel Di Maria, Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Higuain - it is not a team dependent on Messi."He is a player who can really determine a match but this team is better organised than in 2010, when we beat them 4-0 in the quarter-final. This is what they've shown throughout the tournament."I think it will be a gripping final with both teams fighting. Our match against Brazil will not be the rule. If anyone thinks it is they've not looked at Argentina. It's going to be two teams at exactly the same level facing each other. We have the confidence and we respect our opponents' strength but we believe if we can impose our game we will win."Argentina manager Alejandro Sabella said his team would need to play "the perfect match" to beat Germany."They have a system of play that is very well developed," he said."We will give our all, as we always have. We'll give our best through humility, sacrifice, hard work, being down to earth and giving before receiving. We will give our all so that Argentina can be champions again.Alejandro Sabella had a three-year playing spell in England with Sheffield United and Leeds United from 1978Sabella, 59, had a three-year playing spell in England with Sheffield United and Leeds United from 1978 and he admitted it was "unthinkable" then that he would have ended up coaching his country in a World Cup final.He added: "Many players move on to be part of a coaching set-up once they stop playing but I never thought about that."I thought I was going to be balding, for starters, as age went on. I've never been someone who thinks much about things in the long-term. We're talking about 35 years ago. It was unthinkable this might happen."For the best of BBC Sport's in-depth content and analysis, go to our features and video page.BBC © 2014 Abel (United Kingdom) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 5:33 PM 0 Ok guys and my dear fansRead my 2 very long posts from the BBC belowVameos Argentina Ayr18 (United States) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 5:28 PM 0 in 4 years I think Rojo and musacchio/Garay will be our CB's by then I think Peruzzi will grow as for a leftback who knows maybe our youngster in the youth tournament we made semis. Abel (United Kingdom) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 5:12 PM 0 Meet the finalists: Germany and ArgentinaLast updated 11 Jul 2014 22:37 GMTGermany will face Argentina in Sunday's eagerly awaited World Cup final.BBC Sport has taken a look at the expected formations, line-ups and pen pics of each player likely to start, as well as the coaches.GermanyGoalkeeper: Manuel Neuer, Bayern Munich (28)This tournament has helped Manuel Neuer cement his reputation at the world's number one goalkeeper.An expert at the 'sweeper keeper' role because of his ability on the ball and willingness to come out of his area to clear any danger, he recorded an incredible 21 touches outside his 18-yard box against Algeria.Remarkably, he has lost only three times in 51 appearances from Germany since his 2009 debut.Did you know? Only Costa Rica's Keylor Navas (91.3%) has registered a better save percentage than Neuer in this World Cup (85.2%).Right-back: Philipp Lahm, Bayern Munich (30)Described by club coach Pep Guardiola as "the most intelligent player I've coached", the experiment at this World Cup of copying his switch from right-back to a deep-lying defensive midfield role like he has done at Bayern Munich was not a disaster by any means, but Germany have looked more solid in defence and fluid in attack since he returned to full-back for the quarter-finals. The final will be his 20th World Cup appearance for Germany.Did you know? No player has attempted more short passes than Lahm at this World Cup (450).Centre-back: Jerome Boateng, Bayern Munich (25)He started the tournament at right-back but has moved into the centre of defence because of a combination of injuries and Lahm's switch back to defence. He picked up two injuries earlier in the tournament, but is one of the first names on Joachim Low's team-sheet. He faced his half-brother, Kevin-Prince of Ghana, in the group stages for the second successive World Cup.Did you know? He has started in each of Germany's last 11 World Cup games.Centre-back: Mats Hummels, Borussia Dortmund (25)Not assured of a starting spot in central defence before the start of the World Cup, he is a contender for the team of the tournament thanks to a series of powerful displays at centre-back. Offensively, the Borussia Dortmund man has also been a key weapon, having scored two towering headers against Portugal and France. All this while battling off a nasty bout of flu.Did you know? His mother was the first female to commentate on a football match on German TV.Left-back: Benedikt Howedes, Schalke (26)A centre-back at club side Schalke, he has helped fill Germany's troublesome left-back spot with aplomb. Very much a squad player prior to this tournament, he has started every game in Brazil as coach Low started with four centre-halves across the back four. Just before the World Cup began he was in a car accident at a Mercedes event involving F1 driver Nico Rosberg, but emerged unscathed.Did you know? Howedes has made more tackles than any other Germany player during this World Cup (15).Central midfield: Sami Khedira, Real Madrid (27)After tearing his cruciate ligament in November, Khedira's World Cup dream looked in tatters.But anyone who doubted Joachim Low's faith that the Real Madrid midfielder could last the tournament were made to look silly by his brilliant performance against Brazil.Since he has been restored alongside Bastian Schweinsteiger, his midfield partner in crime from the 2010 World Cup, in time for the quarter-finals, Germany have looked a more solid and dangerous side.Did you know? Khedira recorded an assist and goal in a World Cup match for the first time against Brazil.Central midfield: Bastian Schweinsteiger, Bayern Munich (29)After an injury-plagued season for Bayern Munich, he picked up a knee problem at a pre-World Cup training camp to further disrupt his preparations for this tournament. Coach Joachim Low left him out of the starting line-up for the first two matches, but Germany's vice-captain has returned to the side and bossed proceedings from central midfield in the extraordinary win over Brazil.Did you know? Schweinsteiger has played 19 World Cup matches; only three players have played more for Germany (Lothar Matthaus, Miroslav Klose and Philipp Lahm).Attacking midfield: Thomas Muller, Bayern Munich (24)Debate may rage over Muller's best position, but whether he plays as a 'false nine', a central striker or a right-sided attacker, he will always score goals.The 24-year-old is within reach of a remarkable second consecutive Golden Shoe award, helped hugely by his hat-trick in the opening game against Portugal.He is already only the third player in history after Teofilo Cubillas and team-mate Miroslav Klose to score five or more goals in two different World Cups.Did you know? Muller has scored 10 goals and provided six assists in just 12 World Cup matches.Attacking midfield: Toni Kroos, Bayern Munich (24)Often underrated for the quiet and efficient way he gets the German and Bayern Munich midfields ticking over, his performances at this tournament have brought him firmly to the fore.His brace against Brazil were his first World Cup goals and came in a dazzling man-of-the-match performance.He has played in all but two minutes of Germany's six matches so far and looks certain to be named in the team of the tournament.Did you know? Kroos has had more touches than any other player in this World Cup (606) including an incredible 135 against Algeria.Attacking midfield: Mesut Ozil, Arsenal (25)Arsenal's record signing has not exactly been an overwhelming success in Brazil, with many back in Germany such as Paul Breitner arguing that he should be dropped. Spurning a good late chance to make it 8-0 against Brazil has probably not helped. He took to Twitter after the 7-1 semi-final win to say that he hoped the scoreline had not destroyed Brazil's pride. Doubt it.Did you know? No Germany player has created more chances for his team-mates at this tournament than Ozil (15).Striker: Miroslav Klose, Lazio (36)It was written in the stars that Klose would secure the mantle as the World Cup's all-time record scorer from Brazil's Ronaldo, against the Brazilians, in Brazil.When he scored with a typical close-range finish in the semi-final against the hosts it gave him his 16th World Cup goal.Germany's leading goalscorer with 71 goals in 136 games, he is the third player to net at four World Cups and Germany have never lost a game in which he has scored.Did you know? He has played in 23 World Cup matches which puts him second on the all-time list with Paolo Maldini, behind compatriot Lothar Matthaus on 25.Coach: Joachim Low (54)He may have been unspectacular as a player, but Jurgen Klinsmann's former assistant has helped oversee Germany's transition from efficient (read boring) to one of the most entertaining national teams on the planet. However, after losing in the semi-finals or final of the past three tournaments, the pressure might be on if he returns empty-handed again.ArgentinaGoalkeeper: Sergio Romero, Sampdoria (27)Goalkeeper was seen as a problem position for Argentina going into the tournament.After all, Romero made only a handful of appearances on loan for Monaco last season.Worry not, the 27-year-old has conceded just three goals in six games in Brazil and saved twice as his team reached the final with a penalty shootout victory over the Netherlands.Did you know? Romero is the first Argentina goalkeeper to keep four clean sheets at a World Cup tournament.Right-back: Pablo Zabaleta, Manchester City (29)The popular Manchester City right-back missed out on the 2010 World Cup but he has been a key player in defence for Argentina in Brazil. The 29-year-old posted a selfie of himself after the semi-final victory on Wednesday wearing a blue wig and a bandage covering a facial cut sustained after an accidental collision with Dirk Kuyt.Did you know? Zabaleta has made more passes in the final third at this World Cup than any other Argentina defender (64).Centre-back: Martin Demichelis, Manchester City (33)Another Manchester City player gearing up for a World Cup final appearance, the 33-year-old did not figure at all during the group stage of the competition or the round of 16 victory over Switzerland. He started the last two games alongside Ezequiel Garay and looks considerably different to what most Premier League fans might recall having had his ponytail cut off.Did you know? Demichelis made eight interceptions against the Netherlands, five more than any other player for Argentina.Centre-back: Ezequiel Garay, Zenit St Petersburg (27)Close to joining Manchester United last summer, Garay caught the eye in the semi-final against the Dutch when he made a thumping clearance while holding one of his boots in his hands. Like Zabaleta, he also took a blow to the head against the Dutch, this time in a collision with fellow defender Ron Vlaar.Did you know? Has made more headed clearances (36) than any other Argentina defender. Garay has also won 19 aerial duels, 10 more than any other Argentine player.Left-back: Marcos Rojo, Sporting Lisbon (24)The Sporting Lisbon defender played for coach Alejandro Sabella at Estudientes back in Argentina. He has been linked with both Liverpool and Chelsea and was on the scoresheet in Brazil when he scored the winner in the group game against Nigeria, converting a free-kick with his knee.Did you know? Rojo has made more tackles than any other Argentina defender (17), as well as creating the most chances from the back (7).Central midfield: Javier Mascherano, Barcelona (30)Very different in style to skipper Lionel Messi but arguably just as crucial to his team, his importance was encapsulated by a brilliant last-ditch block to prevent Arjen Robben from scoring during Wednesday's semi-final. The former Liverpool man, who was his team's skipper in South Africa in 2010, is the shield in midfield - despite playing at the back for Barcelona.Did you know? Javier Mascherano has attempted a competition-high 509 passes so far. He has also made the most tackles so far - 28.Right midfield: Lucas Biglia, Lazio (28)The 28-year-old, who plays for Lazio in Italy, had to be content with a bit-part role for his team's first four games of the tournament, coming off the bench in each fixture. But the midfielder has started the last two fixtures and is set to figure on the right of a midfield three in Sunday's final.Did you know? Lucas Biglia completed 90% of his passes against the Netherlands, the highest rate of any Argentina midfielder to attempt more than three passes.Left midfield: Enzo Perez, Benfica (28)Industrious and hard-working, the Benfica midfielder is yet another player at the World Cup to find himself linked with Manchester United. The injury to the unfortunate Angel Di Maria gave Perez the chance to start against the Dutch and he did not disappoint. He was the player of the year in Portugal last season.Did you know? Enzo Perez has completed 90 minutes just once in his 10 appearances for Argentina (v Slovenia).Forward: Gonzalo Higuain, Napoli (26)Nicknamed Pipita, the Napoli striker scored the only hat-trick at the 2010 World Cup and was third behind Messi and Luis Suarez in terms of goals scored in South American qualifying.Came off the bench in the opening game against Bosnia-Hercegovina and provided an assist for Messi's winning goal.Scored the only goal of the game in the nervy quarter-final victory over Belgium.Did you know? Higuain has scored fewer goals in this World Cup than in 2010 despite playing two more games (one goal in 2014, four in 2010); firing in fewer shots in this tournament too (10, 13 shots in 2010).Forward: Lionel Messi, Barcelona (27)Claimed four man-of-the-match awards in his team's first four games and scored four goals, including brilliant winners against Bosnia-Hercegovina and Iran.He also netted twice against Nigeria as the Barcelona forward showed signs that he would cement his claim to be the world's best player with a dominant World Cup.But the 27-year-old was a largely peripheral figure against the Dutch and it has been questioned whether he is running out of steam.Did you know? Lionel Messi has created 21 chances for his teammates, more than any other player at the World Cup.Forward: Ezequiel Lavezzi, Paris St-Germain (29)Almost quit football to become an electrician after being rejected by Boca Juniors aged 16, Lavezzi is now on the cusp of playing in a World Cup final. The stocky winger has a tattoo of Diego Maradona on his left hip - the very same man who left him out of his 2010 World Cup squad. The cheeky Lavezzi was caught squirting water in the direction of coach Alejandro Sabella during their match against Nigeria.Did you know? Lavezzi has fired in just two shots at this World Cup, fewer than any other Argentina forward.Coach: Alejandro Sabella (59)Once of Sheffield United and Leeds United, Sabella cuts a very different figure on the touchline to predecessor Diego Maradona.He might look like a touch schoolmasterly but the 59-year-old has been a steady figure in Brazil and his willingness to build his team around the talents of Messi has seen them progress to Sunday's final.BBC © 2014 Abel (United Kingdom) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 5:05 PM 0 Dear argy fansArticle from BBC Germany certain to win, argentina weaker team party in Germany started:Life is a challenge these days in Germany if you are not a football fan.You simply cannot avoid it. The media is awash with interest in Sunday's World Cup final, with the 'Nationalelf' (national 11) involved against old rivals Argentina.The stunning 7-1 semi-final win over hosts Brazil resulted in football euphoria only seen before in the country when West Germany won previous World Cup tournaments in 1954, 1974 and 1990."Three days to go", "two days to go", "one day to go" - these have been the headlines from Germany's biggest selling tabloid Bild. It's the countdown to the final or the 'finaaaaale o-ho' as German fans always sing when their team reaches this biggest of big games."Only one more victory to glory" proclaims the twice-weekly football-magazine Kicker.One thing is for certain: this is a nation with a yearning hunger to win the World Cup, a hunger formed in the 24 years of waiting since the last triumph against, who else, Argentina in 1990.A Germany versus Argentina final also brings heavy work for all the heroes of 1990, especially Lothar Matthaus, Andreas Brehme, Rudi Voller and goalkeeper Bodo Illgner.They are suddenly hot property again for the media, who want them to re-tell the story of how the Germans edged out Argentina thanks to an 85th-minute penalty scored by Brehme as then coach Franz Beckenbauer, who captained the nation to glory in 1974, became the first player to win as both captain and coach.Jurgen Klinsmann, head coach of the US team and beaten by the Germans in the group stage in Brazil, posted via Facebook, holding a German shirt: "Our team will take the crown. Enjoy the moment!"All the past heroes are certain that the new generation of 2014 will make it.Confidence in Germany is sky high, with flags draped on balconies, from windows and attached to cars. So much schwarz-rot-gold (black, red and gold) has not been seen since 2006, when Germany hosted the event and Italy beat France in a penalty shootout in the final.That was the time when the word 'schland' was born - a nickname for the football nation and easy for fans to bawl in stadiums.Everybody, it seems, expects Germany to win against Argentina on Sunday. Anybody who doubts it risks being called a moaner, a spoilsport. However, the near-hysteria of the media is not excessive; the media merely reflects the atmosphere of an expectant nation.Losing against Argentina is just not an option. Not at all.Not after this outstanding tournament. Not with Thomas Muller, Sami Khedira, Toni Kroos and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in such great form. Not after a 7-1 routing of Brazil in their own backyard. Not after these huge reactions from fans and VIPs alike.From Heidi Klum to Steffi Graf, from actor Til Schweiger to former F1 driver Nick Heidfeld, from basketball player Dirk Nowitzki to Boris Becker - everybody cheered the Low team on Twitter, Facebook or on TV.German chancellor Angela Merkel and president Joachim Gauck are going to attend the final in Rio de Janeiro, so important is this occasion.In Germany the feeling is they are all but champions already; the mood here is one of total confidence and belief going into Sunday's game.It is worth pointing out that being critical about the team had almost become a type of sport in itself in Germany, such was the relatively low belief in Low and his squad going into the 2014 Fifa World Cup.Results during the preparation period disappointed. A subdued goalless draw against Poland and a 2-2 draw against Cameroon left many observers - both media and fans - believing that Germany might risk not even qualifying for the knockout stages of this tournament. How things have changed since the beginning of June.The stunning 4-0-victory against Portugal in the opening match was regarded as being comparable to the start in 1990, when Beckenbauer's side hammered Yugoslavia 4-1.And so to the all-important question: can Die Nationalmannschaft (the national team) repeat the outcome of 1990?The longing and hunger for the ultimate title in world football is enormous. After winning Euro '96 in England (and knocking the hosts out in the semi-finals), a veil of gloom descended on the team when they were beaten 3-0 in the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals by Croatia in Lyon.That was followed by a new low point in Euro 2000 when Germany failed to win a single match during the group stages - an outcome which resulted in the youth system being re-organised across the country.Youth academies were set up with new rules and the promotion of more home-grown players in the Bundesliga.After losing the 2002 final against Brazil in Yokohama, the first success for the new generation of football was the Sommermarchen (summer fairytale) of 2006 when Germany finished third on home territory, beating Portugal 3-1 in Stuttgart.Jurgen Klinsmann and his then-assistant coach Joachim Low created a new style, an optimistic, more attacking way of playing as the Germans reinvented themselves on the international stage.They were runners-up to Spain at Euro 2008, gained another third place at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and featured in the semi-finals of Euro 2012. Now, the uncrowned Golden Generation is at its peak and ready to go one step further.Miroslav Klose, now the highest World Cup finals goalscorer of all time, Per Mertesacker, Lukas Podolski and the captains Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm were already part of the team in 2006 and all are now mature enough to expect victory.According to all the experts in Germany, it seems Argentina should be an "easier" team to beat than losing semi-finalists Netherlands would have been.The Germans are confident that any Brazilian supporters in Rio will cheer for them despite their humiliation in the semis. Surely the locals will not support arch-rivals Argentina on the hallowed turf of the Maracana.Low has pointed out the significance of this final and has tightened up how his squad are approaching the game.There have been no more open training sessions for the media, no one-to-one interviews, just press-conferences. Wives, girlfriends of the players or family members are allowed into the self-built exclusive base camp of Campo Bahia. But a glass of beer or wine is forbidden.Germany are planning (and hoping to have) a big party in Rio on Sunday night at which all the relatives and friends will be welcome. And the German football federation will present the full squad at the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin on Tuesday - but only if they are winners. National heroes.This third meeting in a final of the two rivals will be different from the previous encounters. There will be no Diego Maradona against Matthaus. It will be Lionel Messi against a team rather than a single German star."The atmosphere in the squad has been enormous," Low said. "Even the players on the bench and the ones who did not play a single minute were enthusiastic and got the others water."The last encounter between Germany and Argentina in a World Cup was the quarter-final in 2010. Germany dominated Argentina, featuring a below-par Messi, coached by Maradona, and won 4-0. Muller scored, Klose twice.Will there be a new edition for Schland?For the best of BBC Sport's in-depth content and analysis, go to our features and video page. theAbNormalOne (India) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 5:04 PM 0 My interested transfer gossips(Players):-* Fazio* Musachio* Rojo* Peruzzi* Lisandro Lopez* Garray(Though there are strong rumors he already joined some fcuking Russian clubs.)* Santiago Garcia(((Note:All are defenders,that's not a coincidence))) Sudhirfadi (Japan) Posted on 7/12/2014 at 5:01 PM 0 What the heil garay to zenit and FF to swansea.....why world champion are not attracted by big guns......

This whole talk comes from someone doesn't know anything about football or hasn't seen world cup final of 86.Messi doesn't have strikers like Burruchaga to take his passes and deliver at the current squad to be honest. Maradona didn't score a single goal against Germany in the final but he had a supporting cast that help him in the midfield department and goal scorers that were able to capitalize the chances created by Diego. Before this world cup started, I have said that Sabella didn't bring goal scorers with him to this world cup, and I mean the Forwards we have are being one dimentional and failed to utilize the chances. For the world cup, you need a young striker with scoring skills from different angles.....Aguero was having a problem with his fitness before the world cup, so was Higuain.......but I guess since these players played the qualifiers, Sabella has stuck with them along with the subs Lavezzi/Palacio whom can't score from any possible opportunity as I have been saying for months now. Too late now to blame, also the team played a perfect game against Netherlands....remember we just booted a team that has planned to go all the way to win the world cup, the Dutch came this time around as the strongest team from the get go to claim the title, and Argentina strangled their dream, we should not be afraid of the Germans who had mediocre games in this world cup before Brazil's razzie match.

Boffins admit what we women have known for years: lager-and-curry is a particularly nasty form of biochemical warfare.
It's well known that military projects can sometimes yield valuable spin-off technologies for civilian markets. For instance, missile programmes played a key role in early integrated-circuit production, laying the foundations for today's digital hardware. Likewise, Pentagon-funded researchers were instrumental in setting up the …
Boffins admit what we women have known for years: lager-and-curry is a particularly nasty form of biochemical warfare.
A personal favourite snack is boiled eggs and pickled onions, do you think a little bit of carbon underwear stands a chance against the after effects of those ?
Bring it on :)
I wonder if I could convince my office to shell out for a couple of these... Days are particularly bad when most of us have been out together the night before consuming more than our reccomended daily allowance of pints...
Then again we haven't been able to get anyone to buy us a couple rolls of tape in months, so probably not.
you can get the same effect by shoving an Odour-Eater down the back of your pants? Triple layer activated charcoal yadda yadda...
stategically (?) placed would achieve this effect too. Might cause extreme marking of the undies though.
I love this story! It as if all those days long ago in BAOR Land, (that's West Germany as was!) spent sweating off one's genitals in a pull over NBC Suit, (also called Noddy Suits, but only when we had run out of swear words!) were worth while. Have we, my one time comrades and I , contributed to this greatest of all inventions, the undetectable trouser cough suit! Makes finger pointing a thing of the past. The suits we had circa 1969 to 74 were of the two piece pull on over normal combat suit variety. And try firing a SLR left handed when wearing an S6 (Respirator) with the filter on the left. Joy of joys! (Quote from one of my NCOs. "Can I help it if you are a cack handed bastard, then?" Fortunately, the S6 drowned out my response that there had been no recorded marriages in his family since records were kept! Ah yes, those were the days!

Get UK Property Law Questions Answered by Experts
Hi Jo, the background to my question;
Last Thursday we moved into a rental house, which unknown to us is across the road from a residential care home, unfortunately there is a great deal of noise coming from the residents, which disturbes sleep and relaxation. We have no issue as such about the carehome only the fact that we were not advised either by the letting agent (Hamptons International) nor the Landlord prior to signing the tenancy agreement.
Please let me know if you need furtehr information.
Hi Jo,
I feared that this would be the case.
I don't think it would be appropriate for me to complain to the council regarding a care home that was there before we arrived.
Thanks again.

UCB Libraries Staff Association
Many thanks to those who brought food to share. It was much appreciated.
Curt began by announcing the intention of this meeting was to share information and address issues about Prospector. He introduced Wendy Baia who came to speak to us. She urged us to attend the libraries task force meeting about Prospector. The date for this meeting has not been set. CU Libraries Prospector representatives are Lori Arp, Yem Fong and Bill Garrison. Arp and Garrison are currently on sabbatical, but have agreed to continue to serve on the Prospector Reference/Bib. Task Force.
Wendy gave a presentation and held a discussion about some of the serials cataloging procedures which may be affected by Prospector. Wendy had discussed some of the issues on the Norlin-List prior to this meeting. She explained how she came to make the decision to temporarily stop latest entry serials cataloging and go back to successive entry, even though she personally prefers latest entry. Wendy answered questions from Staff and we thanked her for her time.
Curt gave an example of a journal title search he made in a system similar to Prospector. He looked at a journal title that had changed frequently. The University of Oregon had used latest entry cataloging for the title. Other schools had used successive cataloging for the same title. Curt said it was not a problem for him to understand the holdings on these titles in Orbis. He thought the latest entry record was "cleaner". He noticed none of these journal records had a request function. The Prospector system is not intended to be used for journal volume requests either.
Circulation issues concerning Prospector were discussed. It was announced n the Branch Circulation Department meeting that Prospector patrons can place holds on books that are checked out when no other copies are available. The III system does not allow for hold notification to be sent to the borrower, so our patrons will not know they won't be able to renew. Prospector patrons can also keep a book for three weeks and renew it once for another three weeks. So, it is potentially gone for 6-9 weeks including travel time. We may not be able to call the book back from Prospector once it has gone. Current local ILL practice allows three week circulation with no renewal and ILL does not place holds on books that are checked out.
Prospector type programs in other places have significantly increased lending statistics. We are worried that our own patrons have fewer borrowing privileges than Prospector patrons. All our own patrons have only two weeks guaranteed to keep their books before they are subject to recall; Prospector patrons may have up to six weeks guaranteed. Currently, only our CU patrons can place holds (recalls) which prevent a book from being renewed. We think there may be problems getting books for Reserve which are checked out to Prospector patrons and therefore possibly unavailable for up to 9 weeks. These concerns were brought to Nancy Carter to discuss with the Circulation Policy committee so they can determine suggestions for local circulation procedures to deal with some of these issues.
Someone pointed out that the Dean's mission statement lists our patron priorities as local, then state and finally national. This was mentioned because it seems that some of the Prospector system procedures and policies may privilege state patrons over local patrons ones.
A motion was made to send a memo to our libraries members of the Prospector task force and to Jim, Janet, Scott and Susan. This memo should state that we think Prospector is a great service and we are concerned that our mission to serve CU patrons first might be subverted.
This memo should outline the reasons local cataloging practices serve our CU patrons best and also make the most efficient use of staff time. The memo should also ask for reasons why local cataloging practices might change because of our participation in Prospector. An alternative motion to ask questions about Prospector and make comments about our reluctance to change from latest entry to successive entry cataloging was withdrawn in favor of the first motion. This is not an official motion because we did not have a quorum in attendance. It is a consensus statement based on a straw poll.
Someone mentioned that state politics (influenced by the Alliance) are involved in the Prospector program. Someone else said that Prospector representatives mentioned that some individual libraries are using Prospector as a rationale for changing local practices. The Alliance directors will make the final decisions regarding Prospector.
It was stated that information concerning Prospector seems difficult to obtain. Communication about Prospector has not been as forthcoming as previously with large projects such as the switch to III where Faculty and staff input was requested for all aspects of the decision making process. As a result, there is much confusion surrounding the Prospector project.
A second motion was made to recommend to LAB that when major initiatives are happening that affect all library users and staff, the administration needs to provide avenues for staff input and in fact welcome staff feedback. It was mentioned that this is a communication issue and should be addressed at the Dean's meeting also. This motion passed. Again, due to lack of a quorum, this was the consensus of a straw poll, not an official motion. Staff members of LAB were present and agreed to raise this concern at their next meeting.

On 5/9 Tamera Kraft wrote: Christianity was never meant to be safe. If we look at the culture in the early days of Christianity, Christians were considered the fringe element.

The Fight of Our Lives
On 4/11 Tamera Kraft wrote: If we lose the war on terror, it won't be because our enemy is stronger than us or because their cause is just. It will be because we surrender unconditionally rather than fight against the cultural political correctness that preaches diversity at all costs. This book is informative and chilling. If ... We could lose the war on terror.
On 1/17 Tamera Kraft wrote: God is so good to us that many times in our culture we forget we are to serve Him. Instead we look to what God will do for us. This book addresses that mentality.

In response to airborne-rgr's comment:
US Gas Prices, Oil Price & the Real Story Take the Drill-Baby-Drill Challenge: Can You Guess Right?
March 25, 2012. You know the story. When Obama took office:
- Gasoline cost $1.95/gallon and oil, $45
But now (3/2/12)
- Gasoline costs $3.72/gallon and oil, $125
Incredible. And we understand - because our politicians explained it to us, like so ...
- We should've drilled.
- But Obama and his EPA stopped us.
- So the supply of oil went down.
And, that pushes the price up, and high oil prices cause high gas prices. If we had drilled, supply would be up and the price would be down. Maybe down to $1.00/gal like under Clinton (March 1999).
So I dare you to guess which Obama scenario on the graph above is correct. Don't cheat. Guess before you click to see the answer. Don't believe it? See for yourself where the data comes from.
Shocking but true:
- We did "drill baby drill" - like never before.
- Obama didn't stop us.
- Just ask the upset Sierra Club.
- The US supply of oil went up the most since 1970.
Under Obama, drilling has skyrocketed as never before, and the price of gas went from $1.95 to $3.95 (April 1, 2012). There's a reason.
Umm...those are the drillings that Obama couldn't control.
Where Obama has control, i.e. Federal Land, no such spike.

Summary:On September 25, 1974, in the wake of one of the greatest political scandals in its history, Watergate, America was poised to watch a knockout punch that would redefine it as a nation of champions. In the atmosphere of a three-ring circus, in a little known country ruled by a military dictator, on the little noticed continent of Africa, two American fighters held the world's attention. One would capture the world's imagination. But, four days before the scheduled "Rumble in the Jungle," as the heavyweight championship match up between reigning title holder George Foreman and challenger Muhammad Ali was called, the promoters announced that there would be a six week delay. And in that time spa... Full Summary >>

As much art as it is science, negotiation is also a learned skill. This one-day program will show you the strategy and principles of negotiations as well as describing tactics and counter tactics that can be utilized during the negotiations process. You will also learn how to develop a winning negotiation strategy producing better results in your future negotiations.
The strategies, tactics and principles of negotiation remain the same in both our business and personal life and all of us engage in the negotiations process on a regular basis. In business we may seek to negotiate a better price from a supplier, hire a consultant or sell goods and services for a greater profit. In our personal life we negotiate where we will go for dinner, what movie we will see and where we will spend the next holiday.
Knowledge and use of effective principles in negotiations is one of the keys to business and personal success. These negotiation fundamentals can be learned, and with practice will enhance business results and enrich our personal life.
Program Description
Topics covered in the program, include:
Learning Outcomes
You will learn negotiation tactics that you can employ. You will also learn how to identify and defend against these tactics when they are used by the other party. While win-win is usually the objective of a negotiation, it is always nice to be the party who wins a little more.
Salespeople, lawyers, accountants, managers and leaders in need of strong persuasion skills; business people seeking a greater market share and increased profit; purchasing agents desiring to learn how to control sales calls and individuals looking for the key to successfully and creatively resolve or avoid disputes in all aspects of business

Not sure if the endurance bike in question is for you, but let's assume it is since you indicate a "yet to buy" in your profile.
As mentioned, no need to spend huge amounts of money on your first long-distance ride. Some of us here have started with inexpensive (incl. used) bikes to test the waters. In the process, you might even realize that you enjoy biking a certain distance, but the enjoyment might quickly diminish after that. The long-distance thing is not for everyone. The most important thing that you'll hear over and over again is "fitting." It's not easy to get this right. Even among fitting professionals there are disagreements on methodology. It takes a lot of trial and error. It's very likely that you'll go through several saddles, stems, handlebars, pedals to find the "sweet spot." I think for me a good rule of thumb is that if you can do at least a full century ride with little to no discomfort, you've got a good fit. The adjustments that you'll make for the longer distances will most likely be minor.
You could start, for example, with a used steel frameset from the 80's (e.g., Raleigh, Miyata, Bianchi, De Rosa.) Then build it from scratch with the help of someone who is knowledgeable about long-distance riding. Then ride that bike for at least a year doing several century rides and brevets. I suggest not spending on top-of-the line new components on the first bike. Go with mid-range components or buy some great used ones in good condition. It's best to save the money until you know what you want out of a bike. At that point, you might even go with a full custom ride - the best you can afford, if that's still what you want.
If you'd prefer going brand new, there are so many bikes out there in the endurance category. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any bike shop that will let you ride a full century ride and then return the bike if you didn't like it. For starters, look at Volagi, Cannondale, Bianchi, Cervelo, Specialized, Trek, Giant. Just about every manufacturer has one. Try to anticipate a bit your own needs. Some people want fenders (many new bikes don't have eyelets or space in the frame for fenders.) Some people want a rack and bag of some sort (again eyelets needed on the frame) while others prefer frame bags or even backpacks in order to save weight. You'll need to have lights for the longer events whether you want it on the bike, helmet or both. Some riders prefer skinny tires while others prefer wider, cushier tires (some frames don't allow tires over 25-28mm.) As you can see, lots of personal preference goes into the mix.
There is really no point in describing what makes a good endurance bike, except for what I said earlier: if the bike is still comfortable to you after a series of long-distance events, you've got yourself a good endurance bike. Upgrading to a new frame with lightest top-of-the-line components, etc. will represent changes in feel/comfort that might be appreciated with diminishing returns, but could make a difference between a 200 Km. brevet and 1,200 Km. one. This might be where the $10,000 bike could make an impact over the $2,000 bike. Other than that, the $10,000 bike might be akin to giving a bottle of Petrus to someone at his first wine tasting -- it will go in completely unappreciated.
