BBC Radio 5 live"The Brazilian people have been fabulous, there were lots of concerns about the tournament, the logistics, but the Brazilian people, right up until the end even with their team out, were fantastic. And they will party tonight because Argentina didn't win it."

BBC Radio 5 live"A great team, and a great way to say 'auf wiedersehen' from a great tournament.
"Germany will take some stopping over the next few years. As the ticker tape is set off all around the stadium, Germany have beaten Argentina with a thrilling goal from Mario Gotze."

BBC Radio 5 live"There were moments in this game where it might have happened for Argentina, but at the same time it would have been too much for Brazil to bear.
Image source, Getty Images"You never know, with a fully fit Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria, they might have won. But for me Messi wasn't even Argentina's best player, never mind the best player at the World Cup.
"And the thing is, Messi will be 31 the time the next World Cup comes around. You just wonder whether this was the moment for him."

Lionel Messi leads his team-mates past the World Cup trophy, but not in the way he would have wanted to. It's a silver medal for the Argentine side. Alex Sabella will stand down after tonight. Not the way he wanted to go out.

Raphael Santos (Brazil):, external Germany came, built a training centre, danced with the natives, went to the beach, scored seven against Brazil and won the World Cup. Fantastic.
Antonio Vera (Spain):, external A well deserved championship for Germany, but it's worth saying Argentina played a great game and had chances to win it.
