Germany face Sweden away in their final World Cup qualifier tomorrow, but his stars seized the opportunity by partying until 04:30 on Saturday morning after Loew gave them the weekend off. <img alt="Andre Schurrle" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/oct/Andre-Schurrle.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 350px;" /> Germany&rsquo;s Andre Schurrle (left) celebrates with teammates after scoring against Ireland in Cologne, western Germany on Friday. Pic/AFP Germany booked their Brazil 2014 place with a 3-0 win over Republic of Ireland in Cologne on Friday with Brazilian music and a barrel of beer soon pumping out in the dressing room after the match. &ldquo;It was the first time I drank a beer before a press conference, but it tasted good,&rdquo; quipped Loew.u00a0There is only pride at stake on Tuesday with Germany confirmed Group C winners, while the second-placed Swedes face a World Cup play-off in November. &ldquo;We have earned the right to a bit of a party to celebrate,&rdquo; German captain Philipp Lahm said in Cologne. &ldquo;After all, a barrel of Cologne beer is about the same size as a (litre) mug of Bavarian beer.&rdquo; Pictures of the partying German squad have found their way into German papers Bild and Cologne-based Express.u00a0Comedian Oliver Pocher posted a picture of himself on Twitter with a group of players, including Arsenal star Per Mertesacker, alongside the text: &ldquo;Already world champions in partying!&rdquo; The party spirit got the better of Loew, who rushed to congratulate his players after the final whistle rather than seeking out Ireland&rsquo;s caretaker coach Noel King for the customary hand shake.u00a0

Germany's stars partied until dawn after securing their World Cup berth with even coach Joachim Loew admitting to a cheeky pre-press conference beer following their win over Ireland.
