The names of that selection.
The published team lists Toni Schneider, Thorsten Braun, Ron Knaub, Omme Demel, Sven-Hauke Stoltz, Christian Hülß, Matias Kopczak, Patrick Baumann and Marc Ahlers. This is a record of the 2008 selection, not a claim about today’s national team. Archivierte Pressemitteilung · 18.03.2008 ↗
Teams belong in the archive too.
Individual titles are memorable. A selection announcement also preserves the people who trained and represented the format together at a particular time. This source is an archived press release from the format’s contemporary communications, rather than independent competition coverage. Archivierte Pressemitteilung · 18.03.2008 ↗
