Hello, everyone!
It's been a month since i have been studying english. And here is probably one of the most dumbest questions you ever heard.We have a sentence:
"Pay attention to the missed/scored goals statistics of this team."
or
"Pay attention to this team's missed/scored goals statistics."
Which one is correct?or for example:
There had been Nazi organization in the USA for a while, and it was called:
"Sons of the Hestapo"
Ok but this versions could be correct either, don't you think:
Hestapo sons
Hestapo's sonsor
Statue of Liberty,
which is correct but what about this versions:
Liberty Statue
Liberty's statue.I really got confused! Holly mother! Which version is correct?
Don't offend me, i'm studying english for month. -

We have a sentence:
"Pay attention to the missed/scored goals statistics of this team."
or
"Pay attention to this team's missed/scored goals statistics."
Which one is correct?
BOTH.
or for example:
There had been Nazi organization in the USA for a while, and it was called:
"Sons of the Hestapo"
Ok but this versions could be correct either, don't you think:Hestapo's sons YES. We can use both patterns when the nouns refer to organizations or activities. Здесь правила о притяжательном падеже -of -конструкции.
or
Statue of Liberty, -родительный падеж, как a cup of tea
which is correct but what about this versions:
Liberty Statue
Liberty's statue. They are impossible. There's no possession in this noun phrase.
