More Bad Geography

I'm watching the CEO of the South Africa 2010 World Cup talking on Morning Joe right now, and he's talking about how for a long time after reunification, Germany still felt like 2 countries, and it wasn't until the 2006 World Cup that they all felt like one country. He says that for a long time after reunification, you didn't see the "new" German flag (really the West German flag) in the East.

And then he says that in 2006 when he "walked through Nürnberg and the other East German [cities] and you saw every draping themselves in the German flag."

Someone might want to point out that Nürnberg was never a part of East Germany, and that the only East German venue in 2006 was Leipzig.
