Just what the title says.
Is there a German bar or a German neighborhood in the GTA?

As a soccer fan, I always prefer watching at home or with a few people, I don't like large crowds because people go ooooh aaaaaaaaah at the stupidest things which aren't even half chances and it's hard to concentrate on the game. Plus you get a lot of really vocal people who never watch the game. But if you must then:

This place in Etobicoke seems to be German:

And a really good family friendly place to watch on a giant screen with big speakers is the Mississauga Celebration Square (http://www.insauga.com/place/celebration-square). It's by their city hall beside Square One mall). It's on the grass so bring a lawn chair or a sheet. I'm sure there are similar places in the GTA like that.
And here's a list of other Mississauga places showing it:

Check the schedules in advance at these places (the outdoor ones might be holding Canada Day celebrations during the final for example)

THis is one of the rare exception that I like being in a crowd. The oooooh and aaaaaahs and body jerking are what makes it fun. Why so bitter? Grab a pint and have some fun!
I know of The Musket. Just too far away.
Today I went to the Brazen Head in Liberty Village to catch the Germany-Denmark game. It's an Irish pub but that's where the German Consulate had told people to go, so it was full of Germans and some Danes. I won $1 from this very decent and fun Danish guy.
