for World Cup final

By Dan Childs 11:30AM 10 JUL 2014

Argentina were far less impressive than Germany in securing their World Cup final place and are available at 5-4 to lift the trophy at the Maracana on Sunday, while Joachim Low's side are the 8-11 favourites.

The Albiceleste needed a penalty shootout to overcome Holland after a dismal 0-0 draw in Sao Paulo on Wednesday.

Lionel Messi had his poorest game of the tournament but is the
5-1 favourite to score the first goal in Rio, while five-goal German striker Thomas Muller is 6-1.

Germany are 11-8 to win the game before extra-time, with Argentina 5-2 and the draw a 9-4 chance.

Brazil are 13-10 to bounce back from their 7-1 mauling in Belo Horizonte by beating Holland inside normal time in the third/fourth place playoff.

The Dutch, who have played out successive 0-0 draws against Costa Rica and Argentina, are 21-10 to sign off with a victory.
