It’s the World Cup, it’s the weekend. Let’s party.
Good afternoon! After 63 matches, 170 goals and one now infamous biting incident, we’ve arrived at World Cup final day.
James Rodriguez’s sumptuous volley, Tim Howard’s incredible display against Germany, Kenny Cunningham and Richie Sadlier’s arguments and Argentina boss Alejandro Sabella’s comical fall are some of my favourite moments from this tournament.
Tell us what yours are…
COMPETITION TIME! With thanks to the good folk at Budweiser, we’re giving away, not one, but two of these snazzy Sony tablets.
To celebrate World Cup Final night, we want you the reader to sum up the whole tournament in three words in our comments section or on Twitter.
Before a ball was kicked, we also asked you to predict the winning team and top scorer and we’ll be announcing that winner after the final whistle tonight.
Two entries from TheScore.ie desk. “David Luiz’s defending”. And “that boy James”. Not that we’re eligible to win, but you can do better than that.
Argentina may have Messi and Pope Francis on their side, but Germany have Thomas Müller… and ‘The Hoff’. This is cringeworthy.
BREAKING NEWS! Brazil’s much-maligned striker Fred has announced his retirement from international football.
Just under two hours go before kick-off in the Maracanã. Let’s get your predictions:
Poll Results:
Remember Argentina and Germany met in the World Cup final 24 years ago? Andreas Brehme’s 85th-minute penalty was enough for the West Germans in Rome’s Stadio Olimpico.
The closing ceremony has just commenced if you’re into that sort of thing.
Shakira’s here! All we need now is another appearance from Pitbull.
A third World Cup appearance from the Colombian popstar. Like her compatriots, Mrs Pique enjoys a dance.
An hour to go… the Copacabana beach is filling up.
*Drumroll* We have ourselves a winner. We enjoyed “Brian Kerr’s commentating” so David M wins himself a shiny new Sony tablet with thanks to Budweiser. If you can email us with your postal details we’ll get it out to you ASAP.
Thanks to everyone who entered. Niall Kelly is up and running with his World Cup final liveblog, so join him here.
