Themistofelis Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Millonarios = Millonaires, they signed some of the best players in the world in the 1940s, like Di Stefano I thought the name came from the fact that they are based in Mentellin ...and they are trading some expensive staff down there... looks like i was wrong.

aenariel Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 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. Then you'd love "Associação Desportiva Cultural e de Recreio da Juventude de Pedras Salgadas" (portuguese club). Standing for "Association of Sport, Culture and Recreation of the Youth of Pedras Salgadas". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you know though that Clube dos XXX is named like this because in the past it only accepted players who were over-30 years old. It's not like if it was a porn team.
