• As representatives of German Science and Art, we hereby protest to
the civilized world against the lies and calumnies with which our
enemies are endeavoring to stain the honor of Germany in her hard
struggle for existence -- in a struggle that has been forced on her.

the people, the Government, nor the "Kaiser" wanted war....

of our enemies. All we can do is proclaim to all the world, that our
enemies are giving false witness against us....
• Have faith in us! Believe, that we shall carry on this war to the end as
a civilized nation, to whom the legacy of a Goethe, a Beethoven, and
a Kant, is just as sacred as its own hearths and homes.

• The original concept was inspired by the movie ‘Bend it like Beckham’
which portrays a Sikh girl who breaks traditions and plays football in a
girls’ team. The aspiration to bend the football around a defensive
wall sparked the idea for the two upright curved supports holding up
the globe in the shape of a football – a consistent feature amongst
almost all of FIFA’s event trophies. The overall elegant and pure
appearance of the Official Trophy is characteristic of the nature of
how the game is played in this women’s age group.
