mannschaft is a common german word meaning team in sports or crew in seafaring. contrary to popular belief, this is not a nickname for the german soccer national team, but can be used for any sports team or crew of a ship. * the US football team - die US-footballmannschaft * the chinese table tennis team - die chinesische tischtennismannschaft * the german soccer team - die deutsche nationalmannschaft * the crew of the USS nimitz - die mannschaft der USS nimitz * the crew of a large ass freighter - die mannschaft eines saugroßen frachters ;) the word is rarely, if ever, used outside of sports or seafaring. for example, a team of scientists is not a mannschaft von wissenschaftlern, but simply a team of them, just like in english. likewise, a team of terrorists will never be called a terroristenmannschaft, but simply a terroristenteam. the crew of aircraft is usually called besatzung instead of mannschaft, both can be used and will be understood, but besatzung is more common.
