Argentina may have fallen in the World Cup final to Germany, but they put their loss to good, noble use. According to Argentine paper El Dia (h/t 101 Great Goals), the players donated $135,000 for the runner-up finish to donate to Garrahan, a pediatric hospital inBuenos Aires. 
The donation was made at the urging of Javier Mascherano and captain LionelMessi. The donation was made through Messi's foundation, as he had previously donated to the hospital. 
According to the hospital's website, the added funds will be used to construct the Center for Integrative Cancer Patient care. 

Ozil pays for Brazilian kids' operations

Ozil didn't impress against Brazil, not that it really mattered.
Mesut Ozil has shown his charitable side. Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil has confirmed that he has "supported the surgery" of 23 children in Brazil in the wake of his side's World Cup triumph. Ozil, 25, helped fund operations for 11 sick children in the World Cup host nation before the tournament and Germany's successful World Cup campaign has inspired him to donate more money. 
Joachim Low's victorious squad are believed to have received bonuses of 300,000 euros per player following their 1-0 victory of Argentina on Sunday. Ozil confirmed his charitable intentions on his official Facebook page, writing: "Prior to the #WorldCup I supported the surgery of eleven sick children [in Brazil].
"Since the victory of the #WorldCup is not only due to eleven players but to our whole team, I will now raise the number to 23."
