You Have To Win Zweikampf
''You have to win Zweikampf'' is the fourth studio album released by the German rock band Sportfreunde Stiller. It was released on May 19, 2006, only a few weeks before the opening of the 2006 FIFA World Cup that was being hosted in Germany. The album is a concept album focused around Association football. Football has featured prominently in the band previous releases (cf. "10:1" on ''So wie einst Real Madrid''), but this was their first album with solely football-related tracks. While Herbert Grönemeyer's " Zeit, dass sich was dreht" was the official World Cup theme song, the single "'54, '74, '90, 2006" became a fan hymn for the German World Cup squad and was a number one hit in Germany. The song commemorates German championships in the 1954, 1974, and 1990 World Cups. After Germany lost in the semi-final against Italy on July 4, 2006, the song was reworked as "'54, '74, '90, 2010" in anticipation of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The title quotes Bixente L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sportfreunde Stiller
Sportfreunde Stiller () is a German indie rock band from Germering near Munich, Bavaria. History The band was founded by Peter Brugger (guitar, vocals), Florian "Flo" Weber (drums), and Andi Erhard (bass). They initially wanted to name themselves "Bodden" (after football player Olaf Bodden), before later settling for "Stiller". They took the name from their former football manager at SV Germering, Hans Stiller. As Stiller, the band played their first concerts in 1995. They later changed their name because a different band called Stiller owned the rights to this name. The term ''Sportfreunde'' literally translates to ''friends in sports'' and is also used in names of sports clubs (e.g. Sportfreunde Siegen). In 1997, bassist Erhard was replaced by Rüdiger "Rüde" Linhof. The band's debut album, ''So wie einst Real Madrid'', was released in 2000. Sportfreunde Stiller's track "Independent" from ''Die gute Seite'' was featured in the video game '' FIFA 2003''. In 2006, the band ...
