Germany was the best team in the World Cup from start to finish By: NATE SCOTT 1 hour ago

The Germans had the deepest team and they deserved to win.

Germany won the 2014 World Cup final on Sunday evening when 22-year-old Mario Götze chested down a gorgeous ball from 23-year-old André Schürrle and buried a left-footed volley in extra time, giving the team a 1-0 lead it would hold onto.

The goal also illustrated perfectly why Germany deserves to be World Cup champion.

Both Götze and Schürrle were substitutes in the game, and their ability to generate a moment of brilliance like that off the bench shows just how deep this Germany team was. The team ran 23 men deep, and even when injuries and yellow cards took the team’s starters out, the Germans had an answer.
