Mesut Ozil Dept: The date was July 9, 1990. A day after West Germany s 1-0 victory over Argentina in the FIFA World Cup final and eight months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, according to CBC. Now, 22 years after the reunification of the country, those heroes of the past have been replaced with names of the present, people like Mesut Ozil, Miroslav Klose and Jerome Boateng and used firework casings, beer cans and confetti littered the cobblestone streets in cities and towns across Germany. Something truly remarkable had transpired the night before, but it wasn t the waste or lofty banners that gave it away. You could hear it in the conversations the morning after the triumph. The names on everyone s lips were Lothar Matthaus, Rudi Voeller, and Juergen Klinsmann.
