The countdown to the World Cup final in Brazil is on. Who will take the cup home next Sunday after the match in Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro?

In tonight’s semi-final Joachim Löw’s team will fight it out against host country Brazil. Germany is in with an excellent chance of winning the title for the fourth time. Will Thomas Müller overtake Messi and van Persie once again for the number of goals scored and lead his team to victory? And how will the seleção fare without Neymar?

Federal Foreign Minister Steinmeier will watch the match with Brazilian Ambassador, Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, at an event open to the public in Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures) in Berlin tonight and cheer on the German team. We would like to invite you to join us for this exciting event.
