Germany will have a party after the semifinal they expect to win against Italy.

In Berlin, the so-called Fan Mile which leads up to Brandenburg Gate, was being expanded westwards to fit 900,000 people when the Mannschaft meet the Azzurri in the hope of securing a place in the final.

“This has become much bigger than we ever dreamt,” Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit said at the weekend.

The Fan Mile has hosted more than six million supporters so far during the FIFA World Cup, making the football celebrations the biggest street party the city has seen since the Berlin Wall fell in 1989.

The Munich city council on Sunday said it would open the Bavarian capital’s celebrated Theresienwiese, the grounds where the annual October Beer Festival is held, for football fans on Tuesday.
