2014 WORLD CUP CHAMPIONSHIP
July 13, 2014  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 3:00 p.m. ET

 

Tonight’s championship, the Super Bowl and then some of what we call soccer, features Germany vs. Argentina. Starting with the round of 16, Argentina has scored two goals – one to secure the win against Switzerland, and one more against Belgium. (Argentina advanced to the finals by beating the Netherlands on end-of-play penalty kicks, 4-2). Germany, over the same period, has scored 10 goals: two in its 2-1 victory over Algeria, one in its victory over France, and seven against humiliated host nation Brazil. So picking a favorite isn’t too hard this time, though an early upset goal by a hard-pressing Argentina would make this a really exciting game to watch.
