We start this lunchtime in Brazil...
After close to a month of some of the most exciting football the world has ever seen,
we have new World Cup champions, Germany.
The European team were crowned World Cup winners for the fourth time... with a ONE-NIL extra
time victory against Argentina... in the final.
SJ Lee has the details.
As many fans and pundits predicted, it was an exciting match to close out the 2014 Brazil
World Cup.
With the match going the full 90 minutes without a single goal scored, the match went into
extra time, still looking for a clear winner.
It wasn't until the 113th minute, when Mario Gotze scored a brilliant goal, giving Germany
the 1-0 lead, and the win.
For Germany, this marks their fourth World Cup win,... but first as a unified nation,
as the team have only won as West Germany, in the past.
For Argentina's Lionel Messi, who shanked his final chance at an equalizer, he was still
able to win the Golden Ball award, given to the best player in the tournament.
As expected, German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer claimed the Golden Glove Award, for the top
goalkeeper in the tournament.
Colombia's James Rodriguez takes home the Golden Boot Award with 6 goals in total.
And now that the 2014 Brazil World Cup has ended, the baton is passed over to Russia,
who will host the 2018 World Cup.
