"Domination goes in cycles. Spain did it before and now Germany look like they can dominate for years to come." says the former England captain Rio Ferdinand after Germany's victory in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
"You have to admire the way the Germans play - they play with risk. They want to keep possession, play high and defend with a high line. That's because they want to keep possession in the opposition half and press when they lose the ball. This group of German players are going to be here for a long time and they are going to dominate.
This isn't a project started last year by the German FA. It's something that has been in the making for the last 10 years. These players have played together at international youth level, under-21 level. Now they're world champions." he added.
Gary Lineker said that Germany will be around for a long time and maybe this victory will bring back the German dominance in the world of sports. To the critiques, Gotze's goal was a magnificent one and worthy of the World Cup title.
In lieu with this, Manuel Neuer was awarded the Golden Glove. Germany believes that their victory was also because of Neuer who was behind them-a great sweeper that he is, he can play with his left or right foot. He has an incredible presence.
Schweinsteiger, on the other hand, is getting better as he ages. He showed a different game play in this match and astounded many to his good defenses. He is good at reading the game and is quick to position as he goes on vintage in the sport.
Every team who joined the World Cup has their star players, but in this case, Germany has got a team where every player worked efficiently towards success.
