Pope behind Argentina but Christ the Redeemer shows support for Germany

After a worldwide vote on a social media network, the iconic religious
statue was lit up in black, yellow and red on the eve of the World Cup
final at the Maracana:

The Pope may be an avid Argentina supporter but Christ the Redeemer
donned Germany's colours ahead of Sunday's World Cup final in Rio de
Janeiro.

The Brazilian city's iconic religious statue was illuminated by red
and yellow lighting on the eve of the game at the Maracana, which,
combined with an unlit base, created the illusion of an upside down
Germany flag.

The stunt was organised by social media network Twitter, which asked
people the world over via the hashtag #armswideopen whether they would
rather see Christ the Redeemer come out in support of the Albiceleste
or Die Mannschaft.

Much to the relief of locals - whose devastation at seeing Brazil fall
at the semi-final stage has only been intensified by the progression
of fierce rivals Argentina to the tournament decider - Germany edged
the competition, by just 565 votes.

Of course, this is not the first time that the World Cup has featured
some divine intervention, with the 'Hand of God' having helped Diego
Maradona's Argentina to victory in Mexico in 1986.

C'est la première fois dans l'histoire du soccer qu'une équipe
européenne remporte la coupe du monde en Amérique Latine. Dieu a
exaucé les prières de ces fans de l'Allemagne au pied de la statut du
Christ de la Rédemption.
