I've never understood this sort of comment, claiming that everyone from a certain country are 'lovely people'. It's just pure nonsense, there are nice people from every nation. I've met really nice people from lots of places, doesn't constitute a valid reason to support them though...
Did I say everyone?! But what's not to understand? I've had the fortune of working in many countries and with people from those countries - almost all of Western Europe, USA, Australia plus much of Asia Pacific. If you go abroad on holiday you also meet lots of people from other countries and continents.
Yes there are lots of nice people from everywhere but of all of the many people I've met from lots of countries in those scenarios I've found those from Germany are incredibly polite, friendly and have a great sense of humour. I'm sure there's some German people who aren't very nice like all countries - I just haven't found that to be my experience.
I think that's a pretty good reason for supporting them as opposed to randomly picking another team.
