Argentina is strong team but I am a fan for Germany. Germany needs this win trophy because Germany's team represents new, multi-ethnic, multicultural Germany and it will be great to see Germany win this tournament. This is first German team where more than half of the players are not ethnic Germans. For these reasons, this young German team is not only young and fresh but carries the hope of a new Germany in its shoulders.
