Der Spiel: one game to go!
by Herr EdWorld Cup Hippo designed its very own fantasy football game for Germany 06, Der Spiel. Under the innovative Der Spiel format, participants selected the nations that they thought would be the high performers at this year’s World Cup - then organised them into a transnational über-team.
In the quest to top the Der Spiel league, 85 managers painstakingly selected what they hoped would be the ultimate über-team.
