Well, ofcourse he did get alot more exposure because of the world cup crouchinho, but he was already drawing alot of attention before the world cup too, I remember Real and Arsenal etc being linked with him earlier this year too. He had an amazing european championship for under 21 last year, which Germany won, and he had a very solid season at Werder with 9 goals and 14 assists. I don't think he's overrated, he has a big future ahead of him.
