This is so open now! Sergio Aguero gets on the burst, flying down the left wing before delivering a poor ball across. Mats Hummels was so slow in the middle. This extra period could be a real test for one or tow out there.

"Great break by Germany and terrific save by Romero. I hope that's set the tone for extra time."

What a chance! Right at the start!

Andre Schurrle, who scored at the start of extra time against Algeria, has a chance but lashes in a shot straight at Sergio Romero.

Stepan Benyovszky:, external Once again most "experts" are wrong, Argentina comfortably holding their own. Germany nervous and will need luck. Lots of it.

"It just needs one piece of individual brilliance and Messi is the man."

Here we go then - extra time in the World Cup final.

"It's all mind over matter now. Germany just look that little bit stronger for me. I think both teams will get a chance, but Argentina have already had good chances and not taken them. That is why I think they will get punished."

Both captains meet for the coin toss as the coaches continue to discuss their plans. Will it go to penalties again?

"Both teams look dead on their feet. When you have the ball at this stage of the game you have that extra 15% of energy, and when you're without it your head drops and your energy drops. At this level that is all it takes for somebody to get a run on you."

"I have been surprised by Argentina, watching them in previous matches they haven't been great but they have turned up tonight and played with a good tempo, high energy levels and the front three have been lively.

"You just wonder who is going to make the first mistake. It is so hard to call."

"It's unbelievably difficult to predict. The first half was better than the second half. Messi had a golden opportunity - clean through and he missed the target."

Germany have one change available, Argentina have used all of theirs.

Lionel Messi is not the most inspirational captain, sitting on his own munching on an energy bar while team-mates gather away to his left. Javier Mascherano is the talker.

"Couple of little half-chances towards the end but nothing to prevent extra-time. Will Argentina's extra efforts against the Netherlands the night after Germany won in a canter against Brazil be a factor when we start again?"

And there we go.

Chances spurned by both sides, neither keeper forced into real top-class action, and it goes to extra time.

A final on a knife edge.

Germany thread an intricate move across the penalty area but Thomas Muller's cross is eventually cut out. Looks like extra time.

We will have THREE MINUTES added on. Lionel Messi flicks a great pass through but it's cut out...
