In einem ersten Schritt erlangen die Schülerinnen und Schüler Informationen über die Vielfalt der Herkunft der sogenannten "Roten Teufel", bevor sie dann durch verschiedene Texte lernen, wie die Spieler es schaffen, in einem derart multikulturellen Team zu kommunizieren und sich auf dem Platz zu verständigen. Die dritte und letzte Einheit des Bausteins geht auf die Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2018 ein. Hierbei können die Schülerinnen und Schüler den Zwiespalt, der die belgische Presselandschaft geprägt hat, herausarbeiten: einerseits der Stolz über den dritten Platz, andererseits die Trauer, kurz vor dem Finale ausgeschieden zu sein. Didaktisch gesehen werden in diesem Baustein sowohl die dialogische und monologische Sprechkompetenz als auch das kreative Schreiben und das Leseverstehen gefördert.

In this paper, we assess empirically the connection between genetic diversity and the performance of sport teams. Focusing on football (soccer), we built a novel dataset of national teams of European countries that have participated in the European and the World Championships since 1970. Determining the genetic diversity of national teams is based on the distance between the genetic scores of every players’ origins in the team. Genetic endowments for each player are recovered using a matching algorithm based on family names. Performance is measured at both the unilateral and bilateral level. Identification of the causal link relies on an instrumental variable strategy that is based on past immigration at the country level about one generation before.
