It's the German fans you can hear in the Maracana now, they are five minutes away from a fourth world title. Argentina needs a moment of magic and it needs it quickly.
Thomas Muller nearly sealed it on the break for Germany, but after squeezing into the box his cross/shot isn't good enough. A final substitution sees defender Per Mertesacker replace Mesut Ozil.
CNN's Christina Macfarlane brings you reaction from Berlin.

GERMANY ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS
The celebrations have already begun -- the German team celebrating with their fans inside the stadium, parading their newly acquired piece of bling.
What a feeling it must be and what a party there must be to come.
German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been one of the stars of the tournament. The giant shotstopper has been having his say on an incredible night for German football:
"We're going to celebrate for at least five weeks now," said the man who was named goalkeeper of the tournament. "At some point we'll stop celebrating but we'll always keep waking up with a smile.
"We did it and it's unbelievable. In the preparation we had some setbacks. We have to think of the guys not here. They are world champions now too," he added.
