The Germans have played the most consistently attractive soccer since 2006 and are likely to be rewarded with the biggest trophy of them all at long last. Great example of unit cohesion and positive soccer with flair. From Fritz Walter in 1954 to Miroslav Klose and Thomas Muller 60 years later, they have produced the most clinical finishers of any team in the history of the World Cup. Add great goaltending, thoroughly organized defense, and tremendous fitness into the mix, and one can't help but understand and appreciate their well deserved success in the World Cup. They deserve to win the Cup this year but soccer isn't always fair, and can always be a cruel mistress. I love the way Germany have played over the last eight years and will be rooting for them in a World Cup final for the first time since 1986 and 1990.
