Tor!: The Story of German Football

Synopsis

When Rudi Voller led his squad to the 2002 World Cup final, many outsiders despaired of Germany's ability to achieve astonishing results with ordinary players. Tor! (Goal!) traces the origins of that knack back to 1954, when West Germany won the World Cup despite having neither professional players nor a national league. It shows how the virtues instilled by the coaching geniuns Sepp Herberger were subverted by the generation of Franz Beckenbauer and tarnished by that of Lothar Matthaus, then reinvigorated under Voller.
