It will be the biggest World Cup of all time. Five weeks, across the North American continent. More games, more teams, more kick-off times! Not a World Cup for football romantics. Or is it? Esther Sedlaczek and Thomas Hitzlsperger are setting off on a long World Cup journey. They visit all three host countries, meet stars like Leon Draisaitl, but above all they are close to the German team. Exclusive interviews with national coach Julian Nagelsmann and Nico Schlotterbeck provide amazing insights. Critics criticize the gigantism of this mega World Cup with over 100 games, the excessive commercialism, and the lack of consideration for players and their health. On their trip, Esther Sedlaczek and Thomas Hitzlsperger also meet amateur footballers, business experts, football managers, player agents and the king of athletes. In the end, all of these encounters create a picture that shows what this World Cup can and should do – but also what it cannot and perhaps should not do.
