East Germany at the FIFA World Cup
After the division of Germany in 1949, West Germany was declared Germany's official successor team. East Germany was accepted as a FIFA member only in 1952 and entered the qualification tournament for the first time for 1958, but finished last in their qualification group behind Czechoslovakia and Wales.
They appeared in the finals of the FIFA World Cup on one occasion in 1974. During the tournament they played West Germany, who were hosts in that year, for the first and only time at senior level, winning 1-0. East Germany was reunified with West Germany in 1990 and did not compete again after the 1990 World Cup.

gollark: Probably!
gollark: They keep adding new features but they're poorly integrated with everything and just tacked into random parts of the UI!
gollark: It would be better if Discord could integrate with other more open platforms - even *Google Talk* could - so you could avoid the terrible client application and stuff could move to other things without horrible problems - but it *doesn't* and they *actively ban* this in the ToS (though to be fair you can do it anyway).
gollark: I suspect it's to annoy you by saying "haha yes buy nitro and you could use this but otherwise we will fill it with random nonsense".
gollark: There's really large line spacing for some reason and the people list at the side isn't very dense.
