Synopsis
The World Cup final was watched all over the world. Kick Off! filmed people watching the World Cup final all over the globe: on a beach in New Zealand, a kiosk in Berlin, a taxi in Moscow and between tunas in the morning market in Tokyo. The World Cup final divides people into two camps, it brings people together and also drives a line between friends, it sends one nation into ecstasy and depresses another. More than 700 million people in 194 countries watched the final between Germany and Argentina: no other single event is watched by this many people.
