37:04Now PlayingAs the World Cup kicks off, football turns political. With Donald Trump, visa controversies, and a struggling government back home, one question stands out: can the “Mannschaft” lift Germany’s mood — and can politicians benefit from it?
In this episode of Berlin Briefing, host Max Hofmann discusses with DW’s Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner, sports and politics expert Florian Bauer, and DW sports reporter Jonathan Harding whether this is the most political World Cup yet — and whether success on the pitch can translate into a boost for Berlin.
