World Cup: BBC Commentator Apologises For Germany National Anthem Gaffe

'Deutschland Über Alles'? BBC Commentator Apologises For German National Anthem Gaffe
|

BBC commentator Steve Wilson has apologised after he mistook Germany's national anthem for a Nazi version ahead of their World Cup semi-final clash with Brazil.

Fourteen million viewers tuned in for the Germans' 7-1 evisceration of the hosts, however Wilson got things off to a bad start when he erroneously said the Nationalmannschaft would be singing "Deutschland über alles" - not part of the country's national anthem since the end of the second world war.
