They're (and have been) two of the most successful countires in the history of the World Cup. Their matches have always been quite wonderful, but the amazing fact is both of them have participated in all of the world cups (or at least most of them as far as I know..) and the have never played against each other at any World Cup.
Brazil: They play by heart, they love the game. They have used all their outfield players at the tournament and scored 16 goals, more than all other teams so far. They'll play their third consecutive world cup finals this year, in the last two, they have been defeated by Italy and France respectively.
Germany: They play by brain rather than heart. They have scored in all their matches and they have only lost two times this year, both with a single goal. I loved the way they went to the finals by consistent paces (1-0 wins, minimum fret!). They play their game, no talks to the referee and they haven't been awarded even one penalty in their last eleven world cup matches.
More Facts...
So, who do you think will win the finals? As said before, there's a high chance that Brazil wins the whole cup (logical argument here), but the Germans have been my hero since 1986. Brazilian coach said Germany is a traditional, cold, calculating team, that's why they have an enormous amount of respect for them.
