34,57 million viewers in germany, highest amount ever and the average for the hole world cup is around 11 mio, which is huge
Haha, well I guess one night without sleep for that event is alright. Still, I avoid Leopoldstraße for years. It used to be great but not anymore. Its where the crowd is though.
That's 90% of the market and those public viewers aren't even counted in. Looks like the whole country was watching that final. The thirst is real.
Still pretty low imo

I mainly tuned in because of the sexiness that Mehmet Scholl is.

ITV had Andy Townsend, not much better.
And if SPIEGEL (I think I read it in SPIEGEL.de) didn't lie to use those 34,57 million don't even include any kind of Public Viewing (sorry BritGAF/US-GAF). Berlin alone had over 500k visitors at the Siegessäule, so if all the other officials Public Viewings+Bars+...+watching with friends are included I'm sure the number will be closer to 40mil - 50mil. Pure madness
That's a rating (Einschaltquote) of almost 90%.
35 million households, not viewers.

Oh shit, I forgot to mention. I was talking to my dad after the match, the ABC news channel in the town where I grew up, cut away from the last 15 minutes of the World Cup final to drone on about a fucking tornado warning (these are bullshit north east tornadoes, not insane ones like out west) in the area, that they had already warned about in for the previous two hours. The unmissable emergency warning noise and ticker crawl was used several times on their broadcast feed during the match, but they still felt the need to fully cut away back to their podunk news station and show some asshole in a tie re-tell you the same information in 10 different ways.

I live at Leopoldstraße next to the Busbahnhof, and I can tell you, I didn't get much sleep yesterday.
When I went upstairs again at a quarter to 2 AM it looked like the party just started.

+ Public Viewing has really become a thing
The english press wrote the exact same things 2008, 2010, etc.
And literally nothing has changed.
Not officially, no. People are either calling in sick or utterly tired at work (that would be me :lol)
And we saw the result in Group Phase. How often does your team have to be humiliated before your FA decides to change something? Real shame

Cant imagine it would matter, doubt a lot of people are working regardless.
We wouldn't be Germany if there was a holiday after that night. No, even after the biggest achievements, we go to work.

What do you mean nothing has changed? England are losing even faster now, which means journalists can re-publish the same articles again with little to no down time. That sounds like a big uptick in efficiency to me! I think they are still a few years out from a real-time cynicism and disappointment feedback loop, but if the FA steps up their game and hires another average as fuck English manager, I think they'll get there.

1. Duitsland 1761
2. Argentinië 1689
3. Nederland 1525
4. Colombia 1492
5. België 1410
6. Uruguay 1330
7. Spanje 1229
8. Brazilië 1220
9. Zwitserland 1216
10. Frankrijk 1212
This should be the new FIFA ranking. Massive jump for us from 15 to 3. With The Netherlands above Belgium and Switzerland again it's a tiny bit more accurate at least this time around.

Hmmmyes, that Götze goal. Very nice. I could watch this for hours on end.
Also,
The mayo abomination, to boot.
Curse you for doing that to delishus taters, Northern Germans!
Handmade is best, with thinly sliced cucumbers and raw onion, roasted bacon bits and a helping of soup stock. Since it's a salad, it needs a touch of vinegar and oil. Best when still warm.
There can be no other way of salad-related potato processing. Now that the unifying force of the World Cup is mostly gone I am fully prepared to gut the next dirty Prussian who dares disgrace this glorious gift from the Bavarian gods.
Anyway...
See you in four years, Football-GAF. Or two, if we get a good Euro-whatever-it's-called-Cup-thread going.
Also,
Yuck, canned Kartoffelsalat.

Just kidding. Obviously. It was obvious, right? Right? *puts away knife* *eats Kartoffelsalat with fork*

I think that's the lowest I can ever remember seeing Brazil
Blind and Müller, or if you have an unreasonable hatred, Klose because he's a legend.
Blind basically inspired win against Spain and he was pretty solid throughout, topping with a superbly placed goal.
Destiny will hand us Gary Neville who will pick 22 players who really haven't ever met before. All central defenders who can't defend,

Good god I didn't sleep much tonight and I don't even know why exactly o.o I'm sad everything is over but yeah still happy for the German Team 
It's this type of feeling when things go back from a huge party to monotonous everyday stuff 
And ugh... does anyone know of any good deals for FIFA 14 for PS4 (or PC) in Germany? I have the urge to play FIFA again even though I prefer PES for actual gameplay and I have PES14 on PS3 again from PS+. Or should I go with the World Cup game? I heard it's half a game as always though the WC atmosphere... hmm I don't know D:

At first I thought Germany might make it a national day off, but then I realized Germany doesn't roll like that lol. Realistically, I am thinking there will be some leniency from the employers today.
Is this the official one by the FIFA? Or also done by journalists?
It's pretty much the same as the one Dutch journalists calculated, except the points don't exactly match.
I wouldn't bet on it. Since it looked possible for The Netherlands to grab the cup my employer already stated last week that anyone who calls in sick today should be providing an official doctors note to prove you're actually sick and not just partying.

At least he's enthusiastic, I like to enjoy my football!
Blind played very well in the first and last match, but aside from that was our weakest link (outside of Wijnaldum). Big holes and shaky passes all around. Muller's not really a CF. Klose is a stiff like Huntelaar.
BMI was our weakest link.
I meant more so for the people that show up tired and the reduced productivity that would follow.
I want to bust out some world cup stats, but I don't have the time. The BBC pundits seem to agree with me. :lol
The only big mistake he made was letting Mexico score. Kuyt had many more woeful passes.
lol not working. what are we, southern europe?
lol
