00:00Brazil, the 21st meeting of Argentina and Germany, the third in a World Cup fight.
00:14Timochelis, a former Bayern Munich player, is particularly familiar to the German team.
00:20Argentina began the competition here with a back three, it's been a back four ever since.
00:24No-one more familiar, of course, than Lionel Messi, who's clearance locates Messi.
00:35Wriggling and slippery and coming away from Hervedez.
00:38Looking to play in La Vecchia and Nicolo Rizzoli with a moment of mild embarrassment at the
00:50start of the biggest game of his life.
00:53He's out for Messi, he's taking on Hummels, and it's got to be on Hummels, it's fantastic
01:04from Lionel Messi, who looked to set it back for Perez.
01:10First glimpse, first little glimpse of what he might do.
01:15Lionel Messi has teased the world, half a yard ahead of Zabalese's cross.
01:23Mascherano, Perez, Rojo, Messi, Billa, Schweinsteiger has won it well, he won it from Messi, who
01:46made it his business, having lost possession in midfield, to go back.
01:52Messi, away from Boateng, look at the space here for La Vecchia, La Vecchia, HIGUAIN!
02:06Flags up, flags up, he doesn't know it yet, it's not a goal, it's not a goal.
02:17La Vecchia, Messi, looking to play in Gonzalo Higuain, selflessly Lionel Messi, on another
02:33day perhaps he could have dipped that left shoulder of his and gone himself, but Higuain
02:40appearing in picture there was probably the better option, Schweinsteiger had read it.
03:10Messi, away from Hummels, Lionel Messi, scrambled away from the line by Boateng, did get a
03:27fist on it, see what Schürrle meant, a strike actually without conviction from Tony Kroos,
03:36sat for him a little unkindly between his feet, couldn't dig it out, only one entirely
03:42goalless World Cup final, USA 1994, nothing to show yet here for either side, here is
03:51Higuain, Zabaleta's throw, Aguero's first touch, Messi involved, Higuain, faced by Erving,
03:59with that German offside line, Argentina, it only needs one to go right, Messi's played
04:05it through, Aguero's on the chase, Boateng's quick enough, Perez, Billa, rolled through
04:14here for Lionel Messi, flag has stayed down and Messi, has rolled it past the far post,
04:25margins, tiny margins, it's a beautiful pass, Messi's certainly onside, target area reduced
04:35by Neuer, but there was a target area and Messi misplaced it, shielding in the face
04:46of closer, Billa, another one coming, aim forward for Messi, Boateng aware of him, down
05:02by Higuain, wide from Aguero, Messi, went wide for Kroos, Zabaleta, Messi, had the outstanding
05:18goal scoring opportunity of the second half, Messi, for those Argentine fans, wriggling
05:30away from Arzal, in by Billa, closer, late arriving, Chelesti in full voice, Messi's
05:44taken away, what do you expect, his job is to want a goal, ball at feet, it was a passing
05:57second, there's got to be a broken heart sometime in the next hour, what's clear is that nobody's
06:18going to lose by much, the margin will be tiny, it's Messi the margin, not this time he's not,
06:30so much demanded of him, so much hoped of him, the world wants his crowning glory, they certainly do,
06:48Messi, Zabaleta, Perez with a miscue that went right for Messi, Lionel Messi, well he got his
07:01shot away in the way that he does, you so often know what's coming, there's a defender who are
07:10helpless in the face of it, because of his low centre of gravity, his balance, that drop left
07:18shoulder, never mind Diego Melito, here's Messi, oh beautifully done, still running at the Messi,
07:27aiming it in for Palacio and out comes Neuer, what did we used to say in the old school yard,
07:33next goal wins, Palacio, Palacio found Messi and when Messi looked to play an Aguero, Sergio Aguero
07:45slithered, Gargo, Messi, Gargo, on by Billa, here's Messi, Burton good challenge, chased up by
08:03Billa, three minutes to do it in, all 33, who wants to be this year's Andres Iniesta, Messi, so close to
08:20finding Aguero, scratchily out by Hervedez, these are nervous twitchy minutes, Messi and Lahm with
08:36Rizzoli, the referee's had a very good game I think, they both know it's one or the other, the
08:44smiles are mutually appreciative, but rueful at interception, took about 20 minutes to stand up
08:51again, Gargo, Messi,
09:04Palacio perhaps should have done, Messi still might, you'd need a coach and horses to drag
09:11Schweinsteiger off though, even he is not beyond the selfie,
09:22Messi, a feeling that Sebastian Schweinsteiger is getting a stitch in his face, certainly prolonged
09:31treatment, who've come north across the border and with five of those left, Joachim Loeb's side are
09:38winning, can Messi save the Argentines, can anyone save the Argentines, aimed up for Aguero, came back to Billa,
09:59jointly with France 98, the most goal laden competition there has ever been,
10:04can Messi or Argentina find an equaliser to beat the record, Rojo face-to-face with Lahm,
10:16hoisted up towards Palacio and headed over by Lionel Messi,
10:34Mario Götze started in Germany's first 11, who drifted onto the bench, came off the bench to win it for his
10:47with urgency, with desperation, with need, Messi never needed more, Messi foul on him, free kick,
10:56now then, the world has been waiting for Lionel Messi, they offer up prayers on his behalf, it is now or it is never,
11:09the little boy from Rosario, Argentina on behalf of every little boy wearing his shirt, Messi on a
11:19million backs, Messi for a million flashbulbs, Messi potentially to crown his stellar career,
11:33Lionel Messi, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's gone away, it's gone away,
11:41Germany are the champions of the world, here comes Messi,
11:45acclaimed, perhaps rewarded as much for his career as for his month just gone,
11:52he did win Argentina a couple of games all on his own here in Brazil, but he couldn't win them the
12:00one he wanted and he doesn't pick up the prize he really wanted, Lionel Messi for his life in
12:08football deserving that individual acclaim and not enjoying the photo shoot quite as much as Manuel
12:15Neuer, Messi with a prize he will probably want to hide, Lionel Messi did enough surely to apply a
12:22small final star to his stellar CV, he did turn up for Argentina, he did decorate a World Cup finals,
12:29four goals in the first three games, a beauty here against the Bosnians, a magical match winner
12:36against Iran, but still no knockout goal, Lionel Messi like those behind him has removed his medal,
12:44almost as soon as he applied it.
