they could have done that. If I can remember correctly, a German male athlete was disguised as a women to enter a female competition in 1936 Olympics. there you go, Impossible is not German
They say salt delays the boiling point. Good. The longer their agony about Germany winning the better. Here's to more salt!

From what I remember 90% of my elementary class were German descendants growing up (the what is your history day in class created a class wall that was decorated with 28 German flags + 3 different ones lol). Apparently the USA via Britain is just one long German bloodline anyways... http://www.wimp.com/englishevolve/ that kinda explains a lot... maybe we can win the World Cup one day. There are large populations of Germans in Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina. Kinda explains 4/7 World Cup winners from a competitive mentality stand point... Italy (Roman Empire (Argentina is more here though), Spain, France being the other 3.
The number of great players from Uruguay, Argentina or Brazil of German descent is minimal, I think only Friedenreich for Brazil would have an outside chance of making an all-time squad for each of those nations. There are far more Spaniards and Italians descendants than Germans.
Apart from this not being a particularly serious issue, descent isn't a linear thing anyway. We're all of African descent for example. Or another example is that it's virtually a certainty that every single human being on the planet today is a descendant of Gengis Khan. It sounds counter intuitive, but people have done the math and it's true. By the same token, we're all descendants of the same unknown shepherd who lived in England 3000 years ago. After a certain amount of time, these heredity-lines either die out or dominate completely.
That Gengis Khan tale is bullshit, there is no mathematical proof for it either (it's more like abstract formulas where you can't disprove a negative). I myself think I am a descendant of Buddha and could probably prove it mathematically.
It really depends. If his line still exists, you most certainly are a descendant. With Gengis Khan, that is very likely. For the science, see here: http://www.stat.yale.edu/~jtc5/papers/CommonAncestors/NatureCommonAncestors-Article.pdf http://www.stat.yale.edu/~jtc5/papers/Ancestors.pdf
I don't think this reasoning is true. Also within major countries, with major populations, there is a gap in ability between the best player and 14th best player (11 players + 3 subs). Or the 3rd best player and 11th best player. So if we take a superstar as the limit of human ability, many within the same team are often still a notch below that limit. It can be said that advantages in population work exponentially, in a way. Because not only the sample size increases, but also many other factors related to superior population (and/or fanbase) improve. The organization stability (like the average tenure of the national team coach) is often seen as an important factor for the consistency of the German national team. This consistency and stability is however conditional upon the population of the country. Without an as large population, there is - for a few reasons - a reduced chance to keep your manager, and competent layers below, for a prolonged period of time. The stability, with the tenure of the manager as most tangible artefact, is evidently though indirectly related to the population factor. Unlike what many think, there is also no 'natural' concensus about how a game ought to be played, the way competitions are set up and organized; and revenues should be distributed. Also in this sense it helps to have a superior population above others, as the past 20 years have clearly shown.
This article sort of hints also at the importance of fanbase/population http://www.theguardian.com/football...ns-league-arsenal-real-madrid-manchester-city This superior fanbase is key in actually shaping (and changing) competitions, plus how the game is played out. The article pretty much explains this part; the relationship between the market potential and how competitions are designed. Furthermore, you just can't keep competent managers for ~10 years without the resources, career opportunities and - ultimately - fanbase/population. Similarly, hiring fancied fitness gurus - who purportedly made players run 15% more as any other of the 31 countries - is also remotely related to the population factor (or: having more fans and resources as close competitors).

excuse me excuse me...i am a new one here but unfortunately i dont know how to make a new post here...please informe me thank you
Few people know that the now famous Hans Joachim Eckert, officially named "chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of the FIFA Ethics Committee" but in the press known as "FIFA chief judge", is born in Munich and possibly a Bayern Munich supporter.
................ Blatter himself is an honorary member in DFB, he reciprocated by granting them world cup 2014 title. http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/president/news/newsid=1322100/ thats why we will never see Germany suffer from referee's mistakes.
Yes, because being an honorary member of the DFB is SUCH a high privilege it is worth the cheating behind it to acquire this incredible honor.
