HEIMVORTEIL (Germany, 2006)
In the summer of 2006, the World Cup football championships were held in Germany. The tournament brought 704 players and 32 teams together, drew 4 million football lovers from 32 countries, produced 147 goals, 75 yellow cards, and nine red cards. For 31 days there were massive expressions of joy, tension, sorrow, and almost religious devotion. Because football is emotion: everybody knows that.
