- Story Text: Thousands of soccer fans poured into plazas throughout Buenos Aires on Sunday (July 13) to watch the World Cup final against Germany.
Hopeful Argentines spent the morning hours gathering around the capital's famed obelisk, waving flags and banners in support.
As match-time neared, the fans dispersed, flooding Buenos Aires' plazas, which were set up with giant screens.
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. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
