The final, doing justice to the magic that we had been witness to over the past month as arguably themost enjoyable World Cup ever drew to a close.Here are 7 reasons why this matchcan be considered as the greatest ever

#1 The Maracana

The sun was shining brightly over the shoulder of the magnificent ‘Christ the Redeemer’ statue in the beautiful city of Rio as it got ready to revel in the spotlight as the eyes of the world turned to it. For Rio was the center of attraction on sunday. More specifically, the greatest sporting arena on Planet Earth, the Maracana, was the center of the world today.  

The atmosphere was unbelievable. If someone had found a way to transform the metaphorical electricity crackling in the great stadium into real, usable electricity, they would have had enough to power most of South America for some years.  The same could be said of the famous Copacabana beach, and probably, of any town square in Argentina or Deutschland.
