News of the tournament is all over social media, I've covered where to watch in Berlin on EasyExpat and Where to Watch in Germany on about.com and every night there are fireworks announcing each goal. While our stamina is sadly sub-par to watching all the games, we've rallied around the US team (before their loss to Belgium) and worn our Germany colors proudly around town.
Last night's game between Brazil and Germany was a slaughter. Total annihilation. A complete, unbelievable joy to watch for Germany fans like us. Enjoyment was elevated even more when I tuned in to what people were saying on Twitter.

What the hell does the Brazilian coach say during his half time pep talk?... "umm.....so that didn't go to plan did it?"

If only the Germans had a word for taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others.

Brazil's only hope now is if the Germans overreach and start playing Russia at the same time.

Seriously, what did you expect from a team with players named Dante, Caesar, and Hulk if not betrayal and hell?

IS THERE A LONG GERMAN WORD FOR HOLDING BACK A BIT SO YOU DON'T EMBARRASS YOUR OPPONENT TOO MUCH? NO. NO THERE ISN'T.

You know you're German when you can't celebrate this victory without thinking about the horrible, inevitable headlines of tomorrow. #BRAGER

7-1. Unsurprisingly, German has a word for that: Anstandstor, "courtesy goal”. #BRAGER

Just beautiful Germany, and twitter universe. I look forward to the final this Sunday, July 13th.
UPDATE:
World Champions. Germany just won the 2014 World Cup.I am just trying to get used to those words. Even after our exciting Seahawks win, we weren't prepared for this excitement. Congrats baby - you are getting born in a championship year.

Those were amazing!
People can be outright geniuses sometimes. Now if we could only turn the energy put into twitter jokes into curing cancer...
