It’s hard to get into the EM party mood. And now the DFB leaders are also being reached by the low foothills of the last major home tournament to date, the 2006 World Cup. As is well known, that was initially a radiant “summer fairy tale”. Then millions in unexplained payments involving World Cup boss Franz Beckenbauer came to light.
