Germany real winner of World Cup: report

check out this article from yahoo today

The article talks about how Germany's image improved worldwide because of hosting the World Cup and made lots of Euro$ too, as their GDP growth was 3 times higher than last year's.

But for me this makes the article worth reading:
"Germans were no longer regarded as humorless beer drinkers who ate sausages in their lederhosen trousers. Now there was an image abroad of Germany as a modern, efficient and tolerant nation full of enthusiastic soccer fans."
ummm...yeah, sure, uh-huh. There wasn't any beer drinking done by Germans during the World Cup. nope. Just the Brits. they were the ones.

No more of this:

Here's Germany's new image:

see? no lederhosen here
