Shakira delays German team`s departure to World Cup

The departure of Germany`s national team to the World Cup in South Africa was delayed because of Shakira.

Frankfurt: The departure of Germany`s national team to the World Cup in South Africa was delayed Sunday night when their plane had to wait for a prominent passenger: pop star Shakira.
