This is the rivalry between Brazil and Argentina. According to the Mayor in Rio de Janeiro, this is how he will feel if Argentina wins:
In order for Argentina to get a better chance of scoring goals, they will need to keep striking and pressurizing the Germans from the very beginning, till the end of the match. That way it will be harder for the other team to have the opportunity to make an offense strategy. But however, the Germans are very good at counter attacking and taking the ball away from other team. So I wonder what kind of result is going to occur tomorrow, which is the final match of the World Cup.
