Czech Republic: Bernard Brewery has promised the coach of the soccer team 60 litres of beer every year for the rest of his life, while the players will get 160 liters each, for a year, if they bring the trophy home, according to Ananova.co.uk,.

Czech Republic also holds a record for maximum beer consumption in a year. "While they will earn a lot of money if they win we think the offer of free beer on top is extra motivation for the team and will inspire them to go for gold," said the brewery spokesperson, Zdenek Mikulasek. (ANI)
