Maracanã, extra time, and Mario Götze took a touch and a shot that decided the whole tournament. Germany 1, Argentina 0 — the only goal of a final that had gone almost the entire match without one. It came five days after Brazil's own 7-1 semi-final collapse against the same German team, so the whole country's football summer ended in two of the most extreme nights the World Cup has ever produced. Some people remember exactly which room they were standing in when that ball went in, and exactly how loud the street outside got a second later.
