There were tears, there were celebrations and there was drama. Mario G\u00f6tze\u2019s winning goal in extra time ended Germany\u2019s 24 year wait for the World Cup title and gave her a 1-0 victory over Argentina in a nail-biting finale.\r\n\r\nBut alas! Sunday\u2019s match also means a wait of 4 years until the next match. So no more staying up late in the night, no more guzzling down cans of beer and no more cheering for your favorite team. Already missing the World Cup? We too!\r\n\r\nWell, we cannot make the FIFA World Cup happen sooner for you but we can leave you with some interesting data and visualizations as memories until 2018.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<div
