EndedDocumentary showSports

For the 1994 World Cup, Germany entered as the favorite and defending champion, but was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Internal conflicts, media campaigns, and public criticism of coach Berti Vogts led the so-called "eleven friends" – players like Lothar Matthäus, Jürgen Klinsmann, Stefan Effenberg, Bodo Illgner, and Matthias Sammer – to maneuver themselves into a collective nightmare within just a few weeks. This documentary takes a behind-the-scenes look at Germany's memorable World Cup and shows how one of the strongest German teams of all time spectacularly failed.

Die Würde

The German team is confident of victory against Bulgaria but suffers a shock defeat and is eliminated in the quarter-finals. The players are devastated. The media tears into Vogts. He intends to resign but is persuaded by Chancellor Kohl to carry on. He stays and completely rebuilds the squad for the upcoming Euro 1996 tournament. Without Matthäus, but with key roles for Klinsmann and Sammer, it is now a "Vogts team"—one bearing his personal stamp. Unlike two years earlier, the team clicks and goes on to become European champions. The fans celebrate Vogts—until he finally steps down in 1998.
