ECSTATIC BELGIUM FAN DIES
A Belgium supporter celebrating the team's hard-won World Cup victory over Algeria fell to his death after toppling off a statue in downtown Brussels, officials said Wednesday.
The 41-year-old climbed atop the monument as home crowds went wild after Belgium's 2-1 winning start in Group 11.
"He fell heavily after losing his balance while waving the Belgian flag," said Ine Van Wymeersch, a spokeswoman for the Brussels prosecutor's office.
"It was an accident, he wasn't pushed," she told AFP.

North Korea has released a set of postage stamps to
mark the World Cup in Brazil, state media reported Wednesday, reflecting the high popularity of the sport in the reclusive state.
The sheet of postage stamps and three single commemorative stamps cany images of football players variously clasping the World Cup trophy, holding a football and dribbling, according to Pyongyang's official Korean Central News
Agency (KCNA).
"A stamp with a picture of (a) kicking football player was centered in the sheet carrying a football and the World Cup," KCNA said.
It did not say which players were pictured on the stamps.
PUTIN TO ATTEND WORLD CUP
Russian President Vladimir Putin will jet to Brazil next month to take part in a handover ceremony at the end of the World Cup finals, with Russia gearing up to host the next championship, a newspaper report said Wednesday.
Putin will attend an event following the July 12 final in Rio de Janeiro where his Brazilian counterpart Dilma Rousseff will pass on responsibility for the tournament to the Kremlin strongman, Izvestiya daily reported, citing an unnamed government source.
PELE GLUED TO RADIO
Pele was glued to the radio as heavy traffic in Sao Paulo meant the Brazil legend missed the first half of his country's goalless draw Tuesday with Mexico.
"I suffered a lot -- I listened to the first half in the car. There was so much traffic, the car just wasn't moving," said Pele, 73, who was driving from Santos to Sao Paulo, a megacity of 20 million.
"It was the second time 1 heard a Brazil World Cup match on the radio ... in 1950 and today," Pele told Globo television after the game in Fortaleza.
1 Ie insisted that "the team did not play badly -- they just didn't win."
"We know there are no easy games. God willing we shall get to the final," he added, urging the populace to keep "thinking positively."
GERMAN WIN OUT OF THIS WORLD
Germany's opening World Cup victory was out of this world for astronaut Alexander Gerst, who kept an eye on his team's 4-0 win over Portugal while orbiting the earth.
"Between 10 hours (of) scientific experiments yesterday, 20 mins of World Cup football. Congratulations to the German team," the Baden-Wuerttemberg-born Gerst tweeted from the International Space Station (ISS).
The European Space Agency's geophysicist is on a 166-day deployment, but managed to catch some of Monday's match from Salvador on his laptop - 400 kilometres (248 miles) up.
Thomas Mueller scored a hat-trick, while Mats Hummels also headed a goal as Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal were routed, but despite his team's win, Gerst stayed diplomatic.
"Kudos and all the best to the World Cup
