Story Text: Thousands of fans streamed into downtown Buenos Aires on Sunday (July 13) to watch Argentina face off against Germany in the World Cup final.
They carried flags and banners and danced and cheered as they arrived at the capital's famed obelisk to watch the match on giant screens.
Spirits rose to a fever pitch and hopes were high as fans cheered on their team ahead of the game.
Germany and Argentina have already played each other in two previous World Cup finals, Argentina winning 3-2 in Mexico City in 1986 and Germany triumphing 1-0 in Rome four years later.
