Tomorrow, Germany and Argentina will square off at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro for a chance to be crowned 2014 World Cup champions. It's been a wild month in Brazil, full of drama, goals, and enough memories to last a lifetime. Well, at least the next four years. We've hit you with plenty of preview, highlights, and analysis of everything that's been going down in South America. And on the eve of the biggest match of the tournament, we think it's time to take a break from the nerves and tension, and take a look at the main reason why the World Cup is so special. The players. Not a breakdown of their great moments at this tournament, but a look back at when it really was all about having fun with the game they love.
