That is probably because Twitter is not really popular in Germany. Looking at the numbers [1] I am still surprised because I would have expected something even lower not knowing a single active Twitter user personally.

That might be due to the fact that one of the most effective players of Atletico Madrid, Arda Turan [0], is Turkish.
Although he was injured and missed the match.

might also be due to the fact that Turks are simply - really mad about soccer :)! I lived couple years in Istanbul, and was amazed by how Turks are obsessed with soccer overall.

CartoDB[1] allows you to put your data on top of rich base layers. Use Mapbox or any other basemap provider. You can even create maps without a background.
Their Javascript library code is on Github[2], and they encourage people to collaborate. But it doesn't seem to have a license, I couldn't find one in the repo.

#10Love that we see some tweets from some pretty remote places in Africa - Botwana, Zambia and Malawi. Mobile phones have some pretty big penetration there, but internet connection is still not too strong (texting is far bigger).
