Lionel Messi leads his team-mates past the World Cup trophy, but not in the way he would have wanted to. It's a silver medal for the Argentine side. Alex Sabella will stand down after tonight. Not the way he wanted to go out.

Raphael Santos (Brazil): Germany came, built a training centre, danced with the natives, went to the beach, scored seven against Brazil and won the World Cup. Fantastic.
Antonio Vera (Spain): A well deserved championship for Germany, but it's worth saying Argentina played a great game and had chances to win it.

Awards for Neuer and Messi

Manuel Neuer is up to collect his Golden Glove award, he is clearly the best goalkeeper at the tournament and deserves that.
Lionel Messi wins the Golden Ball award for the best player of the tournament. Not sure everyone will agree with that...

Here come the presentation party. Lionel Messi looks pig sick as he waits to receive his runners-up medal. He's not got too many of those in his collection.

"This isn't a project started last year by the German FA. It's something that has been in the making for the last 10-12 years. These players have played together at international youth level, under-21 level. Now they're world champions. England fans will be watching this and asking 'can we do this?'"

Anina M: Phillip Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger or Javier Mascherano man of the match for me. Each has been really outstanding tonight!
Vikor Atllen: Lionel Messi. Disappointed but gracious.

"I'm sure Argentina will get a good welcome back home but when they do go back, they will be thinking they could have won this game. They had all the chances. After so many misses you start thinking if Germany get a chance, they will get the goal, and that's what they have done."

Mario Gotze is the first player to score a winning goal as a substitute in a World Cup final. What a hero.

"The Germany manager deserve a lot of credit. He was so near and yet so far [in previous tournaments]. He changed his tactics and system and believed in what he thought would work.
"He made a big call in taking off Miroslav Klose and bringing on Mario Gotze and it worked."

It must be a horrible, horrible wait for the Argentina players. Like Jim Bowen bringing out that speedboat, they have to wait and see what they could have won.
