I'm using a Western horary for this, simply because it happened to be up when I thought of the question. This isn't the chart for the kick-off on 13th July, but I'm still using contest rules to judge it.
Germany, 4/6 favourites with William Hill, are shown by ascendant ruler Mercury, at home in Gemini in the 10th. Mercury is void of course but this is still an apt token for the team of the tournament so far.
Argentina are shown by Jupiter, exalted in Cancer, which raises an interesting point: which is stronger, a dignified or an exalted planet? I suggest angular Mercury (Angela Merkel?) in Gemini shows the form team Germany, working well together, with everything as it should be. Jupiter in Cancer, however may hit greater heights, at least in the short term. This is Argentina, relying on the brilliance of one player, and this placement also shows: he may deliver.

Both significators being void says form will go out of the window. The final will be won by whoever plays best on the night. VOC often means 'nothing will come of the matter', which translates to a victory for the status quo. This is a further nod towards favourites Germany.
Before looking at the astrology, I thought Germany were nailed on. They have to watch out for playing too rigidly and conservatively or relying on their system too much. They may also have peaked after their semifinal demolition of Brazil: unlikely, but possible. The chart suggests Argentina are well in this final, however. They have to watch out for being overconfident, too emotional and leaving too much to Lionel Messi.
Incidentally, Mercury and Jupiter are in the same signs in both zodiacs. The horary ascendant moves back to Leo, so the sidereal significators are Sun and Saturn. Saturn, exalted in Libra gives Argentina the edge.
Kick-off time chart.
The Vedic chart for the contest shows the significators reversed. Here it is Germany represented by Jupiter in Cancer, and Argentina who are Mercury in Gemini! Jupiter in the 8th however, aspected by Saturn, is not in such good shape. This suggests it is Germany, rather than Argentina, who may disintegrate, or else suffer a key injury or setback.

It's hard for a football fan to detach from the sporting side and judge a contest purely on the astrology, but this is precisely what astrology is for. Germany have been the best team in 2014 and it is probably Argentina who will be looking from help from the stars. They have a slight edge in this respect, but not enough to make a difference. So I will stick with backing Germany, even though the contest will be closer than I, and possibly the bookmakers, think. A repeat of the 1986 final will be a victory for football.
Pedant's Corner - Have you noticed how sports commentators often say a team or player doing well is "in the ascendancy"? They mean 'in the ascendant', of course, astrological parlance for being favourite to win.
Postscript, 13th July.
Think this horary + the event chart summed the game up. Very close all the way, with Germany just shading it. I was right about Germany getting injuries, but wrong about Messi showing up. You could have called it for Argentina purely on the astrology, but they would have needed Germany's star to be weak as well as their own being strong. Germany worthy winners overall.
why don't you use the local time and date of the game ?
