Germany were intent on enjoying themselves as they arrived back in Berlin to celebrate winning the World Cup - even pre-rehearsing a hilarious routine to delight supporters.

No tats, no weird dos, no bad attitudes, no prima donnas, no cry babies ...
I was really glad to see Germany and normalcy win.

I kept waiting to hear they invaded Poland yesterday.
You will have to wait until 1 September.
