The party was already underway in Berlin, though there were a couple of nervous moments before the revelers could really let themselves go.
Mario Goetze had just struck late in extra-time for Germany, scoring the lone goal against Argentina in the World Cup final.
With a 1-0 victory, Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said after the match: “All of Germany is the world champion.”
The theme was picked up by a top official in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party, Peter Tauber, who tweeted, “Good morning, you world champions out there!”
“I can’t remember very much but it doesn’t matter now,” Germany midfielder Christoph Kramer said, shrugging off his head injury from the first half.
