No it should have the country were it was developed in on it, since that is the most important part. To put parts together is much easier than to develop them. A civil engineer has a better income than a mason for a reason.

Correct, China are manufacturing,fabricating and/or producing them, still iPhones are made by Apple.

Perhaps I was lost in translation, since in German typographers may print a book, still it's the author/writer, who makes it.

The formulation is a bit misleading since all WC balls from 1970 on are from adidas, which is a German enterprise and has nothing to do with Pakistan.

Out of interest: What's the nymag's political leaning? Asking because I read it was owned by Rupert Murdoch until 1991, which makes me suspicious about its journalist standards and independance?

I feel old and stupid now for doing it, still I'd like to ask what that tweet means? Am too aged and dumb to understand this abbreviations and my google search didn't help?

Eintracht Frankfurt are rumoured to be interested in Mario Götze.

The adaption of Schützenfeste doesn't surprise considering how loved fire arms are with parts of US-Americans. Have fun Schützenfeste are traditionally very drink - happy events.

It's a bit more complicated. Simplified: the mother club's, that are eV are non-profit as such, this brings some implications, though. Non-profit organisations aren't allowed to be organised in a form other than one member one share. So if a club wants to sell shares to an investor, even when respecting the 50+1 rule, they have no choice other than to establish a profit-orientated company where they held 50% +1 share of the voting stakes. These companies are profit-orientated entities that are majority owned (at least nominally, see Saxon dishwater) by non profit organisations. The non-profit status of these majority holding mother clubs is unaffected by this procedure, though. In other words FC Augsburg eV, for example, that @Eco is a member of still is considered non-profit, although they are majority owners of profit-orientated company FCA Beteiligungs GmbH & Co KGaA, which are running their first team.

The answer is a firm yes and no. Principally clubs (organised as eV) are considered non-profit, most clubs decided to hive off their pro departements to companies (GmbH, AG, KGaA), though. These companies are considered profit-orientated in contrast to their mother clubs. On a side note only Schalke, Union, Mainz, and Freiburg are still pure eV's in the Buli, as far as I know.

You can't translate it because it involves a grammatical particularity of the Berlin dialect, therefore it's only funny when heard in German, in my honest opinion. Shame, because it's classic.

My favourite is still the Lippens one that earned him a red card.

Although Windhorst invested 374M Euro since 2019, Hertha made a loss of 53.5M in 19/20, a loss of 77.9 M - the biggest in the league- in 20/21 and calculate with a loss of 60M for last season. I'm honestly perplexed they even consider building an expensive new stadium instead of trying to limit their losses for a change.

You're discounting the fact that East Europe doesn't exist anymore in a political sense here. The capitalist West/marxist-leninist East antagonism is collapsed here, so Estonia would be West Europe in your definition, although it's the most eastern of the Baltic states. Geographically even the most western parts aren't West Europe. Although I enjoyed this discussion we have to agree to disagree. Last remark from my part is that many people see Pakistan as similar to India since the have a few cultural similarities for an ignorant European. You're really want to adopt such an post-colonially racist point of view?

Wrong, the fact that parts of countries don't move geographically from 1 European fraction to another aside, you argued political here and under this condition West Europe is redundant, since East Europe as a whole doesn't exist anymore. Therefore you either use simply European or Central European , since Germany simply doesn't belong to the western parts of Europe. Calling them West European is as debattable as calling China a part of the Mongolian Empire nowadays.

To be fair, it only faded away because of the prevailing East /West antagonism in Europe after WWII. So the real question is, if West Germany is West Europe and East Germany is East Europe, what does this make Germany as a whole?

Disagree, the term CE was popularized by Friedrich Naumanns "Mitteleuropaplan" during WWI, long before CIA were even established.

It's both. So Pakistan have a rivalry with Macao, since both are Asian teams with no signifikant success on pitch and such little details don't matter? On a side note Germany is Central European:

Netherlands and Austria are neighbours, though. Last time I checked England and Germany didn't share a border. The clubs you mentioned all come from the same city, so they are comparable to neighbouring countries. The Germany /England equivalent would be Liverpool and Tottenham.

Genuine question: Where does this ambition derive from? Having more time to do, what I want to do without harming others would be enough for me. even if my achievement stayed modeste?

Flick, who as a national team manager is obliged to be neutral regarding German club football results, mentioned he would have pleased if Freiburg won the cup on a manager congress. Looking forward to the in´dignation storm in a tea cup, I expect.

An English title is an English title, regardless of what the league it was fought for in is called.

Look at the wikipedia article you posted yourself. Blackburn Rovers already won the titles 1911/12 and 1913/14. So they weren't new champions in 1995, they only had to wait for their third title for a long time.

Actually, and I'm honest here, it's short-sighted the messure a league's competition level only by the fact, which team won the title. Also Real Madrid won more Spanish titles, than Bayern won German ones, although the Spanish championship is younger than the German. To be frank, English people pointing at the Buli with the note of failure to compete has more to do with the English inability to give German football any credit - highlighted by their delusional claim England and Germany were rivals on International level, although Germany won 7 big titles compared to England's 1- than with reality. That said I share many people's desire for a champion that aren't Bayern.

There was a German championship before Buli's introduction, and the English title is older than the Premiership, as well.
