I like this trolling, so:


Identität heißt, dass "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" nur ein anderer Name für ein staatliches Gebilde ist, das vorher Deutsches Reich geheißen hat und das in der Zeit vor dem Deutschen Reich Norddeutscher Bund genannt wurde. Die Identitätsthese postuliert mithin eine seit der Gründung des Norddeutschen Bundes im Jahr 1866 in Deutschland ungebrochene staatsrechtliche Kontinuität.

I'm not sure if this is the case for Brazil, but I've found that the fans who care most about their national teams are the ones who know the least about the actual sport. They don't follow the matches on a regular basis or know the players outside of friendlies and international competitions, so they just blame whoever seems to be bad as opposed to really taking stock of why their sides fail.

In Brazil, calling someone a "torcedor de selecao" (national team supporter) is generally thrown around as an insult, a way of calling someone a casual fan. Pretty much everyone I know in Brazil who cares a lot about soccer cares a lot more about club competitions than national team ones. I mentioned it in one of the other threads, but when I went to the match against Chile they had to actually distribute cheat sheets with traditional stadium songs in Brazil so that people would know what to sing.

This is incorrect.

What we call 'West Germany' is in fact the 'federal republic of Germany' and has been so called since 1949. The merger with east Germany was in fact west Germany absorbing the east, rather than two states being destroyed to create a new one.

In this way, Germany gets to bask in the glory of its previous World Cup triumphs, as well as suffering the shame of it's many wartime atrocities.

If East Germany had won the World Cup, would they get to claim that as well?

As a successor state to the Holy Roman Empire, which included players from what is now known as Italy, aren't they at seven World Cups?

None of this adds up to me. It is shady, and illegal in my mind. 0 World Cups, though they have a chance on Sunday.
