WM 1994 - Elf Helden, ein Albtraum
Overview
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.
This production, originally released in 2026, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Miniseries series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Documentary genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 9.0 across its 1 season.
