The World Cup title for Joachim Loew and his "golden generation" crowned a process that was 10 years in the making. With a talented crop of new players coming through, the future looks bright for Germany.

On the eve of the World Cup final, Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella said he saw some "parallels" between his team and the Argentina that became world champion in 1986.
