Fußball is pronounced fuuss-ball. I have used cup and title information from pre-war Germany, West Germany and post-reunification Germany. The Bundesliga has only been in existence since 1963, previously there were regional tournaments leading to a national final. The national team's colors (black and white) are taken from the traditional colors of Prussia, one of the important founders of the German Empire. German domestic football is immensely popular and regularly features the highest average attendance in the world. Since the 70s the league has been utterly dominated by Bayern Munich.
