It has been some time since the Brazil 2014 World Cup. The hype seemed to die down slightly and most footballers use this time to themselves (Evident through the Instagram accounts of many football stars) or to squeeze in some more training, mostly more training. Some players are called in by their national teams to play some international matches, as if the world cup wasn't enough. So its like having a rematch. A supposed 'friendly' rematch. But just as Martin Tyler from the FIFA game commentaries says "Once we see the first couple of tackles" we'll know just how friendly the match is. I'm positive World Cup players attending the friendlies take this as a personal match if they had a bad time in the World Cup. I'd say its not so friendly, rather a personal competition.
Germany, footballs World Champions, the king of the crop, had found themselves ironically pitted up against Argentina. Argentina returns with a renewed vengeance like no other, armed with their powerhouse 'Di Maria,' who recently transferred to Manchester United, Argentina is sure to perform in a worthy manner. The finalist and runner up team took this match as their personal vengeance and won it defiantly at a 2-4 win, resulting in Germanys loss. However it is important to note that in friendlies, managers usually put up 'bench' players. Basically, the big stars from the World Cup weren't called up to play, well, several weren't. Germany didn't have their stars like Klose, Ozil, and several others playing in the match however Argentina didn't have Messi. Messi was actually injured from his match against VillaReal when playing in Barcelona. I'm sure it was a total bummer for the Golden Ball winner, otherwise known as the Worlds Best Footballer. Indeed these matches are interesting to see, especially after the end of the World Cup.
In my opinion, Argentina deserved to win the friendly. Poor Di Maria was injured and couldn't attend the final at the World Cup, so this match was definitely redemption for him. This match was really good too and i recommend you watch it. I rate this match a 7.2/10 because it was action packed and we got to see Di Maria. A total of six goals were scored in the match. I mainly tuned in to see the match in sheer eagerness to see how Argentina would do against Germany a second time. I wasn't disappointed. Well played. ggwp.

I'm sure Messi gave Di Maria a bro-hug after his performance.
