Script in English
Male Voice (bored, unemotional): Call me crazy, call me mad. Schäfer crossed to the centre. Header. Saved. Rahn to score from the back. Rahn strikes. Goal. Goal. Goal. Over. Over. Over. The game is over. Germany is World Champion.

SFX: Elated cheering in the stadium.

VO: Football lives on enthusiasm. So does our national team.
Script in Orginal Language
SFX: Sprecher (mit Nachdruck):

Mann (gelangweilt, emotionslos): Halten Sie mich für verrückt. Halten Sie mich für übergeschnappt. Schäfer nach innen geflankt. Kopfball. Abgewehrt. Aus dem Hintergrund müsste Rahn schießen. Rahn schießt. Tor. Tor. Tor. Aus. Aus. Aus. Das Spiel ist aus. Deutschland ist Weltmeister.

SFX: Jubel im Stadion.

VO: Fußball lebt von der Begeisterung. Unsere Nationalelf auch.
Brief Explanation
The copy refers to a world famous radio report by Herbert Zimmermann during the Football World Championship final Germany versus Hungary in 1954. Herbert Zimmermann did not simply report the game: he gave an emotional and enthusiastic commentary. The original recording stands for the regained self-confidence of the German nation.
