This page was arbitrarily created ahead of the final (recentism) and has no sources but is an excuse for a disambiguation page. We don't create non-existant info...that's the textbook case of OR

They may not have a neighbouly rivalry or one which has political connetations like Argentina England..... but which have played three world cup finals and a few aacrimonious quarters including one with a brawl. Recentism claims would carry weight if the final was the first meeting.
Delete - The subject of the article is valid so Argentina and Germany are going to dispute their third World Cup final next Sunday, beyond previous matches between both sides in group stages. But the article is very short and poorly sourced. -

Well trolling IP...this article shows nothing but a log of previous meetings with nothing to cite a RIVARLY. And recentism - NOTNEWS

Delete, for now, I believe that it would be best to delete the page. Yes, they may have played against each other in two consecutive World Cups (1986 and 1990), but the way the article is currently set up will not be adequate. Please take the
Mexico–United States soccer rivalry page for example. JC ·Talk ·Contributions 20:51, 10 July 2014 (UTC)reply
Delete - article confirms that the two teams have played each other quite a few times, but that does not a rivalry make. I can see no evidence of rivalry here --

Delete I have no idea where the author gets the idea that because the teams have played many times in the past, including in tournaments, a rivalry exists between the two. This is a list of games played, with no evidence of existance of an actual rivalry, much less its notability.

Delete - Pure
OR. Per
WP:NRIVALRY, the fact that teams have met a number of times does not in itself create a notable rivalry, significant reliable coverage of the rivalry, not simply
routine match reporting is required to satisfy
GNG. There is none of that here.

Delete - this is not a notable sporting rivalry.

Keep I have searched for "Argentina Germany rivalry" and found the following
Germany vs. Argentina: A Great World Cup Rivalry "Brazil-Argentina and Germany-Netherlands may be the fiercest rivalries in international soccer. But Germany and Argentina still have quite the conjoined history, arguably more than either of the other two in the World Cup."
The nazis do not belong in this article. Do not confuse it with
Argentina–Germany relations, which is a completely different and unrelated article.

See other rivalry articles that add the political context. (and its also my case in point that it doesn't have anything here)

Well, it is you who is saying that there is some relation between both things; so it is up to you to prove it and write about it. And remember to avoid
WP:SYNTHESIS when doing so.

Keep It is a valid rivalry and recently there have been many reliable news sources talking about it.
