Spain burst Germany's World Cup bubble, but the nation is already looking ahead to the next tournament in 2014.
After Joachim Loew's young German team lost the semifinal 1-0, the Berliner Kurier tabloid on Thursday lamented: ``The football god only understood Spanish.''
The mass-circulation Bild plastered its front page with a picture of devastated midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and the words: ``The dream is over!''
But it added: ``Chin up, boys! So we'll take the cup in four years.''
The daily Die Welt also looked ahead to Germany's fourth title, predicting on its front page: ``54, 74, 90 - 2014 ...''
Media Control, which measures television ratings, said German viewer figures for the match Wednesday averaged 31.1 million - a record for a World Cup game. Germany's population is 82 million.
