Germany Win World Cup.<\/p>\n

Germany has become the first European team to ever win a World Cup in the Americas, beating Argentina in Sunday’s final in extra time, 1-0.<\/p>\n

German substitute Mario Goetze scored in the 113th minute to account for the win at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after neither team scored in regulation.<\/p>\n

Goetze used his chest to control a crossing pass on the left side from teammate Andre Schuerrle and kicked it inside the right post, past Argentine goalie Sergio Romero.<\/p>\n

South American teams won the seven previous times the tournament was played in the Americas.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s win marked Germany’s fourth World Cup championship, but the first as a unified country. West Germany won in 1954, 1974 and 1990.<\/p>\n

Germany and Argentina had met twice before in the World Cup title game. Argentina won in 1986, and the Germans won in 1990.<\/p>\n

It was the third straight World Cup championship that went to extra time.<\/p>\n

In 2006, Italy beat France, 5-3, in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw. In 2010, Spain\u2019s Andres Iniesta scored just before the end of extra time in a 1-0 win over the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

In a symbolic gesture before the championship game, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Sepp Blatter, president of football world governing body, FIFA, took part in a World Cup handover ceremony.<\/p>\n

Russia will host the 2018 World Cup.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Netherlands handed Brazil its second straight devastating loss, topping the World Cup’s host country, 3-0, to capture third place in the tournament.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands’ Robin van Persie and Daley Blind scored in the early minutes, demoralizing a heavily partisan Brazilian crowd in Brasilia. Georginio Wijnaldum added a late insurance goal.<\/p>\n

Brazil, a consensus favorite to win the tournament and a five-time winner of the World Cup, suffered an embarrassing 7-1 loss to Germany in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

With Saturday’s win, the Netherlands finished the tournament unbeaten in regular play.<\/p>\n

The Dutch were coming off a 4-2 penalty shootout loss to Argentina in the semifinals that followed a scoreless draw. They finished second at the World Cup in South Africa four years ago and were looking to again place in the top three.<\/p>\n
