No its all a load of nonsense, but it is quite funny what I read from Football 365 and thought that you might want to read it:-

A radio DJ in South Korea caused chaos when she mistakenly said Germany had been disqualified from the World Cup.

The DJ, Choi Hwa-Jung, stated South Korea would meet Brazil in the final on Sunday as a result.

She said one of the German players had failed a drugs test after receiving a text message to that effect.

World Cup organisers and the media were immediately flooded with calls.

"We feel sorry for causing the public uproar by airing a groundless rumour," SBS chief producer Kim Sang-Il said.

Ms Hwa-Jung got the message from a misinformed friend, the station said in an apology.

"After receiving the message, she became too excited and read it into the microphone," an SBS spokesman told the French news agency AFP.

"There was a pandemonium in the main control room. About four minutes later, the message was confirmed to be false and she apologised four times," he said.

Germany beat South Korea 1-0 in the semi-final on Tuesday, ending the co-host's dream run in the World Cup which had sparked national football
