Backgrounds
I have provided four variations of the background image for LEGO® Minifigures DFB German Football Team, hopefully catering to everyone’s tastes and requirements.
A big thanks to Arne from Hamburg, Germany who helped me with the layout of these backgrounds!
The Minifigures listed on the first background image are ordered as they appear in the official LEGO® Minifigures DFB German Football Team instructions (A4).

| "Ball" | Slope, Inverted 45 2 x 2 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud with Groove (Jumper) | Use Supa Glue to keep the ball in place on top of stud. |
While I really don’t like using Supa Glue to mount LEGO parts, the Soccer Ball does not have an ‘anti-stud’ and therefore has very limited options for fixing in place.
It’s also not practical (or even physically possible!?) to include all 16 Soccer Balls.
