Hello World Cup Fans! It's been a long journey to the Maracana for Germany and Argentina, who will compete in a World Cup final for the third time in their history this Sunday.

As a result, these two teams will break the record for most times featuring as World Cup final opponents, trumping that of Brazil and Italy, who have also met twice.

Sunday will also see one side take an advantage in their World Cup head-to-head, the South Americans having triumphed 3-2 in 1986 before Die Mannschaft got their revenge with a 1-0 victory four years later.

Delving into some of the fixture's key battles, we've considered which head-to-head matchups will have the biggest impact on proceedings and provided a guide to all the essential viewing information.

Featuring with Man of the Match displays in their respective semi-final wins, Toni Kroos and Javier Mascherano are set to play out very different roles in their sides' hunt for victory this weekend.

Both having been nominated for this year's Golden Ball award, Kroos showed his creative side once again in the 7-1 mauling of Brazil, scoring twice and recording one assist.

Mascherano, meanwhile, made four tackles in the 0-0 draw against the Dutch, the joint-highest tally alongside the Oranje's Ron Vlaar. WhoScored.com show how fitting it is that the two midfielders are set to collide on Sunday:
While Kroos will be hoping to pull the strings of his side, there's far greater pressure on Mascherano to do as he did against Louis van Gaal's men last week, denying the opposition maestros the space they need to work their magic.
