DAVID Cameron punched the air in triumph as he watched Chelsea’s dramatic win with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
As Didier Drogba’s penalty went in, Mrs Merkel’s translator shouted “Scheisse!” Not knowing the German for “sh*t”, President Barack Obama said: “Scheisse? What’s that mean?”
World leaders broke off from G8 summit talks at Camp David in the US to catch the penalties on TV. The PM said: “President Obama asked, ‘Are you going to watch too?’ I said, ‘Well, what’s the point? We never win’. “To watch a penalty shoot-out with the Chancellor that you win was quite a treat.”
Cameron and soccer-mad Merkel watched Germany boot England out of the 2010 World Cup during the Toronto G8.
