Mario Götze's Nike Magista match worn boots. This special made to
measure
boots were worn during the FIFA World Cup 2014. Both boots are signed
and
personalized with "GÖTZE LOGO"
and "#FAITH". Mario Götze was named in the
starting line-up against Portugal in the team's opening match, winning
the
penalty kick for Germany's opening goal on his FIFA World Cup debut. In
the
team's second match, he scored the opening goal and was named the Man of
the
Match in a 2–2 draw with Ghana. Götze played just 14 minutes in 0–1 win
against
the United States, half of the Round of 16 win against Algeria and seven
minutes
in their Quarterfinal 0–1 win against France. The fact that the German
coach
Joachim Löw brought on Julian Draxler for his first minutes of the World
Cup in
Germany's Semi-final 7–1 hammering of Brazil, keeping Götze benched
throughout, perhaps was a wake-up call for him. In the World Cup final
against
Argentina, Löw substituted 36-year-old Miroslav Klose after 88 minutes
with
Götze and told him "Show the world you are better than Messi and can
decide the
World Cup". Götze scored the only goal of the match in the 113th minute,
controlling André Schürrle's cross on his chest before volleying the
ball into the
net, giving Germany their fourth World Cup. He became the first
substitute to
score a World Cup winning goal, and the youngest player to score in a
World Cup
Final since fellow German Wolfgang Weber in 1966 (who was also 22).
