Does anyone know where you can find out who are currently the 'unofficial' World Champions? Remembering reading about it in Zoo ages ago - its basically where since the very first international, back in yonder year, the winner became World Champion and the only way you could claim that title was to beat the current 'World Champion'!!
I believe Scotland have held the title for the longest, but some crap team like Antigua held it last time I read about it!! :shock: Does anyone even know what I'm talking about??! :-))(

I got into an argument with someone about Micheal Owen being Welsh. As far as I know it's like the opposite of Ryan Giggs.

Proved by the fact that his name sake plays egg chasing for Wales  Never been a fan of Scotland picking players who didnt think of Scotland as their first choice. Matt elliott being the biggest cunt of the lot. Still, could be worse.... could be Ireland! |
