Can you beat a team that scores an extraordinary 7 goals in one game? Can you give Scolari the satisfaction of seeing German Civilizations crumble? In this game you play as Alejandro Sabella of Team Argentina, playing against 7 - shall we say, Germanic - AIs: One for each goal in the semi-final. Obviously, you start at war against Joachim Löw's team, but perhaps you can manage friendlier relations with some of the 'other' Germans. Seeing as you are in charge of a football team, you'll want some fast-moving players (aka chariots), so you start with three of them, all on the same tile. Use them wisely! And don't think I'm giving you an unfair advantage - all the AIs - including Joachim Löw - have three chariots in addition to their normal starting units too! All must be fair in the beautiful game... Oh, and there's one other twist. Some of the leaders are not leading their usual civilizations.

As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
