Is this the globe's most eligible woman? Miss World 2014 goes to bilingual medical student from South Africa who wants to prove she's beauty AND brains

The Germans had the deepest team and they deserved to win. 

Germany won the 2014 World Cup final on Sunday evening when 22-year-old Mario Götze chested down a gorgeous ball from 23-year-old André Schürrle and buried a left-footed volley in extra time, giving the team a 1-0 lead it would hold onto.
