 * no, we should not mix articles and facts that do not belong together. This article is about the DFV team, which represented the GDR from 1952 to 1990. The olympic titles won by this team should not be mixed into the DFB team's records, as the titles won by the DFB team should not be mixed into the DFV team's records.--BSI 23:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Article location
"Foo national football team" is the convention, with "national" meaning "country" and nothing more, certainly not a statement about whether or not said country was a nation. Note that on both Category:Former national football teams and Category:European national football teams the teams articles are all in that form; the only exception being Saarland football team, moved at the same time and by the same user. I'm restoring this in line with the conventional names for teams. Timrollpickering 14:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Lutz Eigendorf
There is absolutely no credible evidence to suggest that Lutz Eigendorf's death had anything to do with the Stasi, or anyone other than himself. The only "evidence" is a cryptic phrase in a Stasi notebook which proves nothing and might have referred to anything. This has been milked in the West for all it's worth. Passage should be excised unless someone can provide something more solid. DublinDilettante (talk) 09:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Biggest Defeat
According to the Hungarian side's Wikipedia page, East Germany lost a friendly match 5-0 on May 18th, 1951. Can anybody clarify whether or not this was an official match and should therefore be edited as East Germany's greatest defeat? 14:58, 20 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.1.106 (talk)

National colours
The Home Colours and the Away Colours have to be reversed. Take a look at German wikipedia or this photo:http://www.storiedicalcio.altervista.org/images/Sparwasser74.jpg --Stiangutten (talk) 11:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Photo
I amended the location of the photo from the district of Anderlcht, to Brussels as that is the City where their final game was played. It may also have been a tad confusing.Statto74 (talk) 11:33, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
