Wee Aja Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Is it not, Go Ahead Eagles? It is. I think the Spanish clubs names are funny, simply because some of them are so long: Espanyol is actually: Racing Club Depordiu Espanyol De Barcelona S.A.D That would be nine names, is there really any need? I have no idea what "S.A.D" stands for, I can't find it online and even "The Textperts" were stumped. If anyone can tell me I'd worship you, as it's been bugging me for a long time.

S.A.D.'s are privately owned clubs in Spain, i believe, as the norm there until recently was for the club to be owned by the 'fans'. That's why they have all the president electing business at Barca and Real, cos the 'fans' choose them every few years. I can't remember what it stands for though.

Why would you play 'Young Boys' that would be an easy win, espescially as they are in a 'Wankdorf' -ed state... haha, I You could give 'em some 'Kiwi' and send em to 'Mars', might be to much for 'Olympians' especially as they all have 'YoungHeart'...
