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.

Sociedad Anonima Deportiva, something like society limited sportive. Such long names are a licensing issue from spanish league.

Would be funny then if they played that Norwegian team:

Tonight's match!

"Real Club Deportiu Espanyol De Barcelona Sociedad Anonima Deportiva - Vs - Odd"

Odd indeed. :D

PS - Thanks for that, Zoiberg.

What about Clitheroe (England)?

Not sure if they're in FM, but a Swaziland 2nd division team is called "Eleven Men in Flight" - a division which also features such teams as "Highway Never Die", "Swazi Candles" and "Young Zebras".

Defence Force (Trinidad)

Sugar Boys (British Virgin Isles)

Sexdrega (Sweden)

Thai Police (Thailand)

Cockhill (Ireland)

Cockburn City (Australia)

Wankie (Zimbabwe)

They're all in the database, whether any of them are playable or not I don't know.

My favourite of them being Cockburn City, I'm sure its a lovely place, but I won't be visiting anytime soon!

Yeah, totally agree - cracks me up every time!

If it wasn't such a familiar name then Arsenal would be hilarious, I reckon. Particularly as they are managed by someone called Arsene...

I love how if your typing in game on something like counterstrike and the server has a swear filter on you cant say Scunthorpe... I love how it has a hairdressers called "Pub ic Hairdressers" classic!

Went to see my ex in london and went through cockfosters, the whole train looked at me weirdly when I giggled

ABC of Brazil makes me chuckles sometimes... I wonder what it stands for...

You might bump into some 'Arab Contractors' In Egypt...

'Dolphin FC' makes a splash in Nigeria...

'Invincible Eleven' play in Liberia withe a squad of probably 16 players...

'Green Buffaloes' Exist in Zambia...

While 'Port Vale' isn't on a map lol...

If you play like 'Arse(nal)' you play well...

but when you play like 'Arse(nal)' people people smell it and say 'Man U' Stink... Funny

ABC = Argentina Brazil Chile

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_countries

Thanks for telling me...:thup:

I wonder how you play a 'Coton Sport' team like they do in Cameroon....

I cant resist but...

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'...

All those teams except for the 'Young Boys' are in Oceania
