    There's the confederations cup.

    Spain vs Haiti was an odd match to witness.

    England said that about the World Cup pre-1950.

    It's pretty pointless. I think the Toyota cup has more prestige.

    Outside of Barnsley I no longer watch football. I don't even care about it. I got fed up of people whining about strong challenges, like it should be a non-contact sport. I couldn't stand listening to people talking about tiki-taka, or complaining that "El Classico" wasn't on TV. The words "El Classico" make me want to vomit. I especially got bored of BT and Sky pretending Dynamo Vladivostok against Sparta Dusseldorf U18s is must watch TV. It's a **** game ruined by imbeciles and I'd much rather watch rugby or ice hockey or the NFL.

    Didn't we win the sheffield and district cup one season, about 91. Only us and Doncaster entered so they played the final at Oakwell.

    Barcelona vs. Real Madrid wasn't on TV because it clashed with the 3pm kick offs. People should've been too busy at a match to give a toss about it.

    The Anglo-Italian Cup/Intertoto Cup and most memorable of all, the highly prestigious Simod Cup.
