The 1994 FIFA World Cup was the 15th FIFA World Cup, held in nine cities across the United States from 17 June to 17 July 1994. The United States was chosen as the host by FIFA on 4 July 1988. Despite the host nation's lack of a national top-level soccer league, the tournament broke the World Cup average attendance record with nearly 69,000 spectators per game, a mark that still stands today. The total attendance of nearly 3.6 million for the final tournament remains the highest in World Cup history, despite the expansion of the competition from 24 to 32 teams (and from 52 to 64 games) in the 1998 World Cup.

The 2006 FIFA World Cup was the 18th FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international football world championship tournament. It was held from 9 June to 9 July 2006 in Germany, which won the right to host the event in July 2000. Teams representing 198 national football associations from all six populated continents participated in the qualification process which began in September 2003. Thirty-one teams qualified from this process, along with the host nation, Germany, for the finals tournament. It was the second time that Germany staged the competition (the first was in 1974 as West Germany and also a re-FIFA World Cup), and the tenth time that it was held in Europe.

Germany went into the 1994 World Cup as favourites and defending champions, but were knocked out in the quarter-finals. Internal conflicts, media campaigns and malice directed at manager Berti Vogts had led to the supposed ‘eleven friends’ – players such as Lothar Matthäus, Jürgen Klinsmann, Stefan Effenberg, Bodo Illgner and Matthias Sammer – manoeuvring themselves into a collective nightmare within a matter of weeks. ‘Eleven Heroes, One Nightmare’ takes a look behind the scenes of what was a memorable World Cup tournament for Germany and shows how one of the strongest German teams of all time failed spectacularly.
