Germany is to receive a cool $35 million for defeating Argentina in extra time on Sunday, which is touted to be the biggest prize in World Cup history. Germany's cash prize easily toppled the prize received by the previous world cup champs, Spain, back in 2010.

Rihanna's flashing during the match has completely upstaged by a controversial photo she tweeted of her holding the Golden Trophy and receiving a kiss from two German players. The British tabloid said that under FIFA rules, only a World Cup-winning footballer, certain FIFA representatives or a head of state can hold the trophy, and that winners like England's Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge have been forced previously to observe the rules during promotional events in the UK.

It has been suggested that FC Barcelona, who has agreed to sign in Suarez despite his nine international match and four-month football ban imposed by the world soccer body, would be introducing the Uruguayan in a non-football venue considering the fact that it has shelled out £75 million for him.
