I believe it's still yards.
Well, minus the American teams we already have a competition like that. It's called the Champions League.
I don't follow. :dunno:
The German, French and Scottish get ~lost~ amongst the Dutch, Turkish, Greek, Spanish, Italian teams...the Champion's League should actually be more global, imo. I want to see those crazy J League teams and Boca Juniors/River Plate mix it up in the CL....
I'm talking about a smaller scale event...and maybe it ends much sooner than the CL.
Previously the Carling Cup was called the Worthington Cup, it became popularly known as "The Worthless Cup" for most fans that sentiment still stands today.
That would be incredibly difficult logistically, besides the European teams metioned all play in the Champions League/Europa League
What do you think of William of Orange?
Great King? Savior of England? Crazy Dutchman?

The thing is every continent has it's own version of the Champions League (I'm not sure about North America), the winners of these events then face each other in the Club World Cup at the end of the season which does sound somewhat like what you are proposing.
It's all about time zones - this is why that competition is played at the end of the season. Travelling around the world for a Wednesday game and then having to play on Saturday just isn't going to work. Keeping it a continental tournament allows the teams to be able to focus on their home leagues and their games in Europe.
They have particularly strong opinions on this in certain parts of Scotland, best not to go there...
Which one is the Carling Cup? Did it used to be called the Coca-Cola Cup, is is that another one? It's been eleven years since I watched football, once Man U got the triple it all seemed pointless to me, so I moved to other sports.
And just FYI, "meter" is a mechanical device for measuring stuff like water and electricity. The measurement of distance is "metre". It's just something that mildly annoys me. :dunno: :wave2:

^^^When pronounced properly, yes, but ever so slightly. It's hard to explain without actual sound, but meter is "meet-er", whereas metre is more "meet-uh". It's like a word with a silent letter, even though you don't say it you somehow still know it's there (like the k in know). :dunno: :wave2:

3. You know what I meant damnit
4. It has nothing to do with accents or slang. They talk so fast all the words blend together like supercalifragilistheispealidocous(sp?).
I am extremely smart, thank you. I was an A+ student in elementary school. :tongue:
Why do you call money a pound? If a pound is equal to a dollar then what is equal to coins?
Which sitcoms are you watching? Perhaps if we I.D the actors we can give a better explanation.
As for money, our coins are in pennies: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and fifty pence coins. 100 pennies is a pound, which come as 1 pound or 2. Then it moves to notes (bills) from five pounds upwards. I think it's called a pound because a pound of gold was worth so many pence in the olden days, but don't take that as gospel. :wave2:
Well, then you've answered your own question haven't you, its because they talk so fast!
We don't call money a pound, a pound is a denomination of currency, like the dollar, the euro etc.
A pound was the value of a pound weight of silver at one time.It's the world's oldest currency by the way.
A pound Sterling is worth around $1.50 (always changing) and is also known as a "quid" or even a "sov" which is short for sovereign, a gold coin still being minted with a face value of a pound but of nearly a quarter Troy ounce gold content and worth a lot more.
A word which could cause confusion on a sex-forum between Yanks and Brits is 'fanny'.
Anatomically the UK fanny and the US fanny are only an inch or two apart, but serve completely different purposes!
Clue (for US readers who still don't get it) - British boys don't have fannies.

See, America anticipated the rise of porn way earlier than the British did. That's why we moved away from your version of fanny and started using pussy. I believe we credit this shift to that horny dog Ben Franklin :hatsoff: who really had a thing for stroking pussies, as I understand it...:dunno:
