BERLIN, July 15. /ITAR-TASS/. Thousands of fans met the German national football team in Berlin Tuesday as it returned home after winning their fourth World Cup title. The fans, however, had to wait, as the team's plane left Rio de Janeiro airport with a two hour delay. They gathered on the so-called 'Fan Mile' at the landmark Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
