Germany’s Chancellor, Angela Merkel, was an extremely visible fan of her country’s team at the 2014 World Cup. She was seen in the stands cheering them on throughout the tournament and was the subject of the world’s greatest selfie after the Final.
Chancellor Angela Merkel celebrates in Germany’s dressing room
“Party like a Chancellor” shall now enter the lexicon.
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
But she was also invited into Germany’s dressing room to keep the party going following the big win.
Here she is with Miroslav Klose and his sons (and a little beauty we like to call the World Cup trophy, which Merkel will probably keep on her mantel.) (I don’t know who gets to keep the trophy.)
Look how Klose is standing with Merkel,we can't even imagine a minister being so cool forget PM :) #GER pic.twitter.com/XgvUekzrln
