This is an almost philosophical chapter. If you look not only at the history of mankind but also at evolution as a whole, you will see that it was precisely this “judging by results” that brought evolution forward. Two Neanderthals went into a cave, a bear caught one of them. One action, one result, one…
How does a successful action work? This chapter is specifically aimed at the fact – which is already indicated elsewhere – that it is actually impossible to produce such an action. The speakers constantly demand – virtually before, during or after every failed attack – how one should do what and what is wrong with…
Much as one may regret it, it seems assured: The entire reporting is nothing more than a string of empty phrases. They refer to the intermediate score or the final result. If no goal is scored for 40 attacks, then “there are no ideas”, then “the last pass is not received”, then “there is no…
Introduction to the topic “German Coverage The media play a very special role in the gigantic spectacle that revolves around football. In many respects, they have the power to disseminate points of view, to stimulate discussion on issues close to their heart or simply to spread opinions, which in itself should not happen but subliminally…
In a world in which people are constantly looking for new peaks and superlatives, it is not surprising that commentators also reach into this “bag of tricks” and try to inflate things for the purpose of attracting particularly large audiences. So if there are about eight “finals” and “five games of the year” for each…
Since this is a quite concrete and also comprehensive attack on the media, which do not live up to their responsibility towards football and its dissemination, one naturally has to enquire quite thoroughly to what extent congruence can be achieved with other people’s views. In this respect, a number of discussions were held, especially since…
At the beginning of the 1990s, the broadcaster Premiere integrated itself into the television landscape. A pay channel that collects(d) money by the division for the programme offer. A new television concept. Of course, the station expected the main advertising effect to come from the exclusive rights to broadcast the German football Bundesliga. In the…
1) IntroductionAs ranting as all the texts may sound, there is always the positive approach. The intention is to bring back to light the beauty and colourfulness of football, much of which has unfortunately been lost in and through today’s media landscape. Football has so much to offer. Show us that, make it palatable, convey…
If you put forward politically – even if “only” sporting – explosive theses, you soon find yourself obliged to be able to back up your statements with clear, comprehensible evidence. Whereby the term “proof”, borrowed from mathematics, is perhaps a bit of an exaggeration. What would be “provable” about one?It would be possible to conduct…
How do you check the quality of a forecast? The question alone sends shivers down your spine. “What now, please? Does the man want to be or become a prophet? A prediction, a prophecy comes true or not. And in terms of prophets, I’ve only known Isaiah and Jeremiah.” But that is not quite the…
