DFB, the German football association, have commissioned a documentary based on Germany's triumphant World Cup campaign in Brazil in July.

Titled Die Mannschaft, the trailer opens from a quote from Gerrard.

Brazil have Neymar. Argentina have Messi. Portugal have Ronaldo. Germany have a team!

Problem being, Gerrard DOES NOT have Twitter and it was simply a fan account commenting on the German victory on the microblogging site.
