The Opponent on Eighty Pages

For the 2006 World Cup, students at the German Sport University in Cologne analyzed all the teams in the tournament. The Swiss scout Urs Siegenthaler started the project. For the next European Championship, each team was presented with its strengths and weaknesses auf gut 80 Seiten, on a good 80 pages, in dossiers that the national coach Joachim Löw could consult. The cooperation ended at the turn of 2022 to 2023. By the DFB’s count, about 1,000 students were trained, and the team worked on nine tournaments of the men’s national team. The DFB called its information elementar, essential, for the team’s match preparation.
