Against Peru it shows how purposeful the German game can be with a center forward like Niclas Füllkrug. But that doesn’t make Germany the favorite for the 2024 European Championship.

The moment Oliver Forster turned to David Raum and asked him what he thought of the international match against Peru that had just ended, a process began that is familiar from many fantastic movies: the two men became equal in conversation, until they seemed to be one and the same person. Both have their workplace on the pitch, but usually one, Forster, acts as a moderator at DFB international matches, while the other, Raum, works as a left-back. After the 2-0 win in the test match against Peru, the promoter Forster, who was always enthusiastic because of his job, and the professional footballer Raum merged through their appearance into a living being who has found happiness in being a DFB fan. No small penetrance came from their euphemistic enthusiasm.
