Contest between Germany and Argentina will revive memories of World Cup finals
of the late 80s and 90s as the sides face each other for a record third time
in Brazil
Germany and Argentina will revive memories of the World Cup finals gone by at the Maracana on
Sunday, with both sides remembering the history of the fixture with mixed
emotions.
Both their last World Cup triumphs came against each other, with Germany
crowned champions after defeating the Argentines in 1990, while the 1986
final being the last time the South Americans won the trophy after edging
West Germany in Mexico.
Joachim Loew's men have had the upper hand in their most recent World Cup
contests, defeating Argentina on penalties on home soil in 2006, before
thumping Maradona's men 4-0 in South Africa.
