World Cup 2014: Argentina v Germany Final Sparks World War II Nazi Tweets
Germany emerged as the World Cup champion with a 1-0 win over Argentina on 13 July at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
In the 113th minute, Mario Goetze scored the winning goal and ended the country's 24-year wait for another World Cup title.
"It's an unbelievable feeling. I don't know how to describe it. You just shoot that goal in, you don't really know what's happening," Goetze said. "It'll be a party with the whole team and the country. It's a dream come true to win the World Cup, especially in Brazil."
Manuel Neuer, who received the Golden Glove as the tournament's best goalkeeper said: "It's incredible. The team did it beautifully. At some point we'll stop celebrating but we'll still wake up with a smile."
However, Twitter was abuzz with World War II and Nazi comments, following Germany's victory over Argentina.
While, some users felt the crude jokes offensive and tasteless.
