The World Cup tournament in Qatar lasts only a few days. After the first semi-final, “Sportschau Thema” on Thursday (December 13, 2022) will take stock of the most controversial World Cup in history to date.

Why is the World Cup viewed so much more critically in Germany than in many other countries? Has the DFB dealt too much with topics outside of sport? And what lessons does German football have to learn so that the 2024 home European Championship becomes a new summer fairy tale?
